Modelling the probability of meeting IUCN Red List criteria to support reassessments.

This paper develops models to predict the probability of species meeting specific IUCN Red List criteria, improving extinction risk assessments by identifying key predictors for each criterion.

Trait diversity metrics can perform well with highly incomplete datasets

The paper evaluates trait diversity metrics' robustness to data incompleteness using simulated missing data and imputation methods, finding that imputation improves reliability even with high missingness.

Research and conservation priorities to protect wildlife from collisions with vehicles

The paper identifies priority areas and taxa for conservation and research to mitigate wildlife-vehicle collisions in Latin America using spatial data and species vulnerability.

Time-of-day defines the efficacy of NAD+ to treat diet-induced metabolic disease by adjusting oscillations of the hepatic circadian clock

This study shows that the time of day affects the effectiveness of NAD+ therapy for diet-induced metabolic disease in mice by influencing hepatic circadian rhythms.

CaPTrends: A global database of Carnivoran Population Trends

The paper compiles a global dataset of 1122 population trends for 50 Carnivora species, providing quantitative and qualitative metrics of abundance changes over time.

Socioeconomics drive population change in the world's largest carnivores

This study shows that socioeconomic development has a greater impact on population changes of large carnivores than habitat loss or climate change, with potential for recovery at high development levels.

Mapping extinction risk in the global functional spectra across the tree of life

The paper maps extinction risk across global functional spectra of species, finding that larger, slower-living species are more threatened and their loss would cause significant reorganization in ecological strategies.

Human activity is altering the world’s zoogeographical regions

This study shows human activity can reconfigure zoogeographical regions by altering species distributions, challenging the assumption that these regions are stable over time.
