Characterizing Role of Spatial Features in Improving Mangrove Classification—A Case Study over the Mesoamerican Reef Region Open
Mangrove forests are among the world’s most vital coastal ecosystems. Mapping mangrove cover from local to global scales using spectral data and machine learning models is a well-established method. While non-spectral contextual datasets (…

Afro-descendant lands in South America contribute to biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation Open
Over 130 million people in Latin America identify as Afro-descendants, many of whom inhabit lands with potential to mitigate biodiversity loss and climate change. Yet, the role of Afro-descendants is not adequately considered in conservati…

Modeled distribution shifts of North American birds over four decades based on suitable climate alone do not predict observed shifts Open
As climate change alters the global environment, it is critical to understand the relationship between shifting climate suitability and species distributions. Key questions include whether observed changes in population abundance are align…

Social science for conservation in working landscapes and seascapes Open
Biodiversity is in precipitous decline globally across both terrestrial and marine environments. Therefore, conservation actions are needed everywhere on Earth, including in the biodiversity rich landscapes and seascapes where people live …

Mapping a conservation research network to the Sustainable Development Goals Open
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global blueprint to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet. Progress toward these goals is falling short. Achieving the SDGs requires coordination am…

Untangling multi‐scale habitat relationships of an endangered frog in streams to inform reintroduction programs Open
Successful reintroductions of endangered species rely on comprehensive knowledge of habitat requirements across spatial and temporal scales. To inform designs of reintroduction programs, we studied habitat selection of the federally endang…

Designing optimal human‐modified landscapes for forest biodiversity conservation Open
Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes. Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate management of these landscapes. Yet, these concepts are often contradic…

Physiological consequences of rising water salinity for a declining freshwater turtle Open
Sea-level rise, drought and water diversion can all lead to rapid salinization of freshwater habitats, especially in coastal areas. Increased water salinities can in turn alter the geographic distribution and ecology of freshwater species …

Phylogenetic homogenization of amphibian assemblages in human-altered habitats across the globe Open
Significance Widespread conversion of natural habitats to human land use creates evolutionarily novel environments and causes declines of native species. Stemming biodiversity loss requires an understanding of why some species persist whil…

Macroecological patterns of sexual size dimorphism in turtles of the world Open
Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is a well‐documented phenomenon in both plants and animals; however, the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that drive and maintain SSD patterns across geographic space at regional and global scales are und…
