Sukamade Resort, located within Meru Betiri National Park, is a conservation management area. Dragonflies have significant diversity and extensive spread, and their presence in conservation areas is linked to the availab...

The conservation of marine ecosystems depends on the establishment and functioning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These areas are not exempt from the effects generated by a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Coastal ...

The Olrog's Gull Larus atlanticus breeds only in Argentina and is currently categorized as Vulnerable. Knowledge of the location of colonies and an updated understanding of human activities that may impact their breeding...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

Background and aims: High mountain shrubs play a key role in the maintenance and functioning of ecosystem processes. Nevertheless, studies to understand their morphology and dry matter partitioning are scarce. The goal o...

This article assesses the current state of botanical collections in Argentine herbaria, with a particular focus on data and image digitization, collection management, and the publication of information through publicly a...

When biodiversity conservation of noncharismatic species is a priority, local people perception and value attributed to species are of vital importance. The big colony of bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) in the Escaba dam lo...

After a long history of overexploitation, increasing efforts to restore marine ecosystems and rebuild fisheries are under way. Here, we analyze current trends from a fisheries and conservation perspective. In 5 of 10 wel...

Ranching is a challenging and sometimes risky business, with cattle production (and associated enterprise income) largely being dependent on seasonal weather patterns and corresponding forage production. To help reduce t...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

ABSTRACT Neotropical medium and large-bodied mammals are key elements in forest ecosystems, and protected areas are essential for their conservation. In Brazil, sustainable use protected areas (SU-PAs) allow both the con...

Biological control has been the most commonly researched control tactic within fruit fly management programs. For the first time, a review is carried out covering parasitoids and predators of fruit flies (Tephritidae) fr...

Grassland butterflies are declining widely in temperate regions, and are thus a key target for conservation. Recent studies have shown that forest clearcuts can be temporary habitats for these species. Shelterbelts - row...

Natural medicine is currently gaining global acceptance among the developed and developing countries of the world due to its low toxicity, high efficacy and cost effectiveness. Developed countries are devising medicinal ...

Effective management of natural populations depends heavily on the capacity for understanding and predicting their habitat requirements. For endemic and threatened species like the mara (Dolichotis patagonum), this infor...

Intestinal microbiota of aquatic animals is closely associated with the environment, influencing their health, immune defense, and environmental adaptability. To understand the relationships among the Manila clam (Rudita...

Abstract Background The microbiome is significant for conservation biology and should be considered in threatened species management programs. Commensal microbes contribute important functions for host health, while path...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Abstract Remote sensing is increasingly employed today for the creation of wall-to-wall vegetation maps of protected areas. The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether it is feasible to develop a remote sens...

Habitat loss is one of the main factors reducing wildlife diversity and restricting its conservation. Habitat suitability models are important tools for wildlife management and conservation in order to evaluate the impac...

The relevance of the research is explained by the contradiction between the availability of forest resources, the demand for timber materials, and the low economic efficiency of their use, conservation, and reproduction....

Abstract Obtaining accurate population measures of endangered species is critical for effective conservation and management actions and to evaluate their success over time. However, determining the population size and de...
