Best to leave unattended? Invasive beavers challenge density‐dependent dynamics: A vital rates analysis in areas with different population management
Abstract The regulation of wild populations influenced by density (where changes in abundance induce competitive interactions that affect vital rates) is typically assessed by collecting time series of population counts. In the case of mammals, whether terrestrial or marine, density‐dependent…

Diaspore bank and dark diversity of bryophytes: Insights into fen vegetation and restoration potential
Abstract Fens are species‐rich wetlands that host many threatened plants but are rapidly declining across Europe. Understanding processes that are shaping fen vegetation, including aspects not visible to the naked eye, such as diaspore banks and dark diversity, is essential for conservation and…

Socio‐demographic drivers of hunting, trade and local ecological knowledge of the yellow‐casqued hornbill (Ceratogymna elata) in the Ebo forest, Cameroon
Abstract The yellow‐casqued hornbill (Ceratogymna elata) a Vulnerable African forest species, faces mounting pressure from hunting and trade, yet conservation interventions frequently fail because the social contexts that shape its exploitation remain poorly understood. We examined the drivers of…

An alternative approach to allometric above‐ground woody biomass models using symbolic regression and terrestrial laser scanning
Abstract The accurate quantification of forest above‐ground biomass (AGB) is crucial for monitoring forest functioning and carbon stocks. Forest AGB maps are commonly derived from earth observation products and used in many downstream applications, such as global vegetation and carbon cycle models…

Do solar farms alter invertebrate communities and reduce activity of the common pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) through prey‐mediated effects?
Abstract Given the global expansion of solar farms, assessing their ecological impacts has become a research priority. In a previous paper, we reported that bat activity was reduced at ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) sites compared with paired control sites. As bats in the United Kingdom are…

A systematic review of observational studies reporting climate change impacts on plant communities in Mediterranean‐type ecosystems
Abstract Context. Mediterranean‐type ecosystems (MTEs) are projected to be among the most vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems to global climate change. Plant community responses in MTEs to climate change have been well researched using experimental and modelling approaches, yet observational studies…

The climate‐smart gardening database: Native and near‐native garden plants for the northeastern United States
Abstract Gardeners and landscapers seeking to select native plants that will support ecosystems and wildlife are challenged by both the lack of availability of many native species as well as the lack of standardized information about suitable native plants. Adding to these challenges is the rapid…

Multi‐tool monitoring: Integrating non‐invasive methods to assess vertebrate richness, functional diversity and trophic complexity
Abstract Effective biodiversity monitoring is essential for understanding taxonomic, functional and trophic dynamics in changing ecosystems. Non‐invasive tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and camera trapping offer complementary strengths, yet…

Well, which is it? Misinterpretations of the Lawton Principles in the age of nature recovery and artificial intelligence
Abstract The biodiversity crisis requires responses that are both scientifically sound and socially resonant. Simplified policy messages play a critical role in translating complex ecological goals into concepts that are accessible, actionable and meaningful for diverse stakeholders, helping align…

Wild versus commercial seed source shapes intraspecific trait variation and drought response in Schizachyrium scoparium
Abstract Prairies are refugia of biodiversity, but these ecosystems have been severely degraded. A common restoration approach is the reintroduction of native plants through seeds, but seed sourcing approaches vary, including the use of wild‐collected and commercially produced seeds. Commercial…

Reintroduced megaherbivores and prescribed fire shape seed removal in restored tallgrass prairie
Abstract Restoration ecology seeks to restore entire ecosystems, including species interactions. Management practices, such as prescribed fire or megaherbivore reintroduction, strongly affect plant and animal biodiversity. It is less clear how management practices shape species interactions such as…

Insights for strengthening wildlife trade regulations: Evidence from local stakeholders and regulatory officials in Nigeria
Abstract The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a globally recognised wildlife trade treaty, has shaped wildlife trade policy. However, whether the implementation of the global wildlife trade treaty through an act of the National Assembly in…

Counting elephants from space: An analytic framework for wildlife abundance surveys in heterogeneous terrain using satellites and AI
Abstract Estimates for species population size (abundance) are often obtained using aerial surveys, in particular for the African savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana). However, aerial surveys are costly and logistically demanding to implement, which often results in infrequent surveying (e.g…

Agricultural inputs unevenly boost crop yields but consistently reduce biodiversity on Mount Kilimanjaro
Abstract Agricultural systems depend on Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), but their management often diminishes biodiversity, potentially undermining their sustainability. Thus, understanding the relationships between biodiversity, human capital (labour and physical inputs) and crop yields is…

Field‐based appraisal of the technical soundness of soil and water conservation practices to tackle land degradation
Abstract Soil erosion remains a critical environmental challenge in developing countries, including Ethiopia, where large‐scale Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) campaigns were initiated in the 1970/1980s. Although research‐based technical standards were developed to guide the implementation of SWC…

Using big ‘messy’ data to model species distributions for spatial conservation management
Abstract Spatial conservation management—via Protected Areas and other spatial measures—is key to reversing the rapid global decline in biodiversity. International spatial targets have been agreed to tackle the biodiversity crisis, yet spatial management is not being globally implemented at the…

Climbing to survive: Potential elevational shifts in warming risk for the Moltrecht's treefrog
Abstract Climate change poses a growing threat to biodiversity, particularly to ectothermic organisms such as amphibians. Understanding geographic variation in thermal tolerance and warming tolerance can provide insights into population responses to climate change and potential future…

Identifying priority areas to guide management planning of a protected area network to support snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Asia
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) remain central to global biodiversity strategies to reduce accelerating declines in biodiversity; ensuring proper management, coverage and placement of PAs is key to facilitating connectivity for wildlife populations. Graph theory approaches provide a rigorous…

Species and microsite selection shape Sphagnum transplant success in a metal‐contaminated peatland in Sudbury, Ontario
Abstract Peatlands can be degraded by mining and smelter emissions, with severe impacts on Sphagnum mosses, the key peat‐forming species in many bogs and poor fens. While restoration of horticulturally extracted peatlands is common, less is known about restoring smelter‐impacted peatlands, such as…

Pragmatic or problematic? The risks and rewards of rewilding with non‐native species
Abstract Ecological replacement (ER) with non‐native species is a controversial yet potentially powerful tool for rewilding through the restoration of lost ecosystem function and complexity. However, its appropriate application and associated risks remain contested. We combined a scoping literature…
