Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem s...

Recreational fishers who interact with internet-connected and smart devices generate large volumes of digital data that can be mined to gain valuable and often unique insight into recreational fisher ...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 13 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00110-4Global conservation agendas now emphasize habitat connectivity, with the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework calling for well-connected systems by 2030. These efforts focus strongly on connectivity benefits while dismissing costs, despite emerging evidence for potential negative effects. Further empirical assessment of the costs of connectivity, and the incorporation of these risks into connectivity decision-making, is urgently needed.

Efforts to reconnect fragmented habitats are vital for biodiversity, but new research warns that ecological corridors can also create unintended risks.
