Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a
single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of …

Reliable assessments of population status and trends underpin conservation management
efforts but are complicated by the fact that imperfect detection is ubiquitous in monitoring …

Plant protection products (PPPs) are among the many drivers that lead to the loss of
biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and they are a contributing factor to the global decline …

Urbanisation leading to habitat change and fragmentation is a recognised global threat to
biodiversity. However, it may also offer opportunities for some species. Genetic diversity, one …

Density dependent carry-over effects from one life history stage to another can affect the
dynamics of populations. Here we study such carry-over effects from the tadpole to the …

One of the most devastating emerging pathogens of wildlife is the chytrid fungus,
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which affects hundreds of amphibian species around …

Urbanisation changes landscapes, often simplifying and homogenising natural ecosystems
while introducing novel environments. Although this transformation often adversely impacts …

Global targets aim to reverse biodiversity declines by 2050 but require knowledge of current
trends and future projections under policy intervention. First, given uncertainty in …

The protection of wetlands is a cornerstone in the conservation of pond-breeding
amphibians. Because protected wetlands are rarely natural areas, but are often man-made …

Aim Current genetic variation and differentiation are expected to reflect the effects of past
rather than present landscapes due to time lags, that is, the time necessary for genetic …
