An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential geneti...

Connectivity, genetic diversity and adaptive potential of an endangered beetle: genomic evidence for veteran tree management

Habitat fragmentation and destruction in old-growth forests represents a primary threat to specialist species, frequently resulting in the erosion of genetic diversity. The Hermit Beetle, Osmoderma barnabita, is a protected relic of primeval forests and an obligate saproxylic specialist whose larval development depends...

The invasive paradox: how Neltuma juliflora invasion reshapes avian diversity in a semiarid ecosystem

Biological invasions are a dominant driver of global ecological change. It is known that invasive species can limit the survival or growth of native species, yet their full impact on biodiversity can be complex. We investigated the impact of the invasive tree Neltuma juliflora on avian communities in Brazil’s Caatinga,...

Rediscovering the Endangered Mediterranean Killifish Aphanius iberus : Environmental DNA Reveals Updated Distribution and Conservation Implications in Coastal Habitats

Aquatic ecosystems are among the most biodiverse and ecologically important habitats on Earth. Despite this, they are increasingly threatened by habitat degradation and biological invasions. In Europe, intensive agriculture and urbanization along the Mediterranean coasts have disrupted hydrological connectivity and...
