Más de dieciséis mil islas, de más de un kilómetro cuadrado, han sido analizadas por un equipo científico internacional, en el que participa el Museo Naciona...

Islands are at the forefront of global environmental change. Biological invasions, land-use change, and climate change are driving population decli...

When it comes to decoding camera-trap images, artificial intelligence has become all the rage, especially for terrestrial animals, or those that dwell on the ground. But for more evasive species livin...

Researchers warn against falling for 'fool's gold' of rising fish numbers spurred by marine heatwaves.

We examined how overhunting-induced defaunation affects the functional composition of tropical tree communities in western Brazilian Amazonia. Using a robust, spatially replicated dataset from 30 for...

Sites for amphibian conservation in Central and Eastern Europe face intense temperature increments and expanded droughts Sites in the Mediterranean experienced a slower pace of temperature increm...

According to Bergmann's and Allen's rules, climate change may drive morphological shifts in species, affecting body size and appendage length. These rules predict that species in colder climates tend...

We tested the riverine barrier hypothesis in New World monkeys, finding that river width significantly correlates with molecular divergence across species. Our results suggest that rivers and mountai...

Biodiversity loss and widespread ecosystem degradation are among the most pressing challenges of our time, requiring urgent action. Yet our understanding of their causes remains limited because prevai...

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is the main international agreement that identifies levels…

Despite advances in theory and experiments, how biodiversity influences the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems remains debated. By applying new theory to data on 84,695 plant, animal, and protist assemblages, we show that the general ...

Project Description Red Lists are critical tools for assessing species’ extinction risk, systematically evaluating threats based on past and ongoing environmental drivers. However, global change drive...

Aim We investigated the effects of habitat destruction and hunting on the functional decline of top predators, specifically jaguar and puma, in the Gran Chaco. Location The 1.1 million km2 South A...

Aim Many management programs that are based on the needs of rare or threatened species are ineffective because they fail to collect enough data to reliably estimate abundance and map distributions f...
