Pollinators not yet reported as crop pollinators could likely contribute to agriculture.
- •
The neglected diversity of bees as potential crop pollinators in Brazil is 88.4%.
- •
The proportion of vertebrate pollinators not yet recorded as pollinating crops is 95.2%.
- •
Many plant–pollinator interactions are off the conservation agenda for agricultural stability.
- •
Efforts to protect agricultural pollinators should consider even species not yet recorded as crop pollinators.
- •
Environmental diversity efficiently represents marine mammal diversity.
- •
Environmental diversity is an effective abiotic surrogate for biodiversity conservation.
- •
Environmental variables can be effectively used in marine biodiversity conservation.
- •
Detection method information is absent in 38% of deer records in protected areas.
- •
Most of the records (60%) used unsuitable methods for deer species identification.
- •
Forest deer species are the most impacted regarding unreliable identification.
- •
Greater scientific rigor on data acquisition is necessary for conservation planning.
- •
Review of peer-reviewed literature on biodiversity conservation in insular Caribbean between 2000 and 2015.
- •
On a per year base, Caribbean-based authors found in 32% of papers, accounted for 22% of lead paper authorships, represented 17% of authors per paper.
- •
No evidence of improvement in the above metrics over time.
- •
Marked differences in paper contributions among Caribbean locations, with evidence of low intra-regional collaboration.
- •
The global road network is rapidly growing.
- •
Population-level studies represent a minority on road ecology.
- •
Most of them focused large mammals from high-income countries.
- •
More research on threatened species from developing countries is need.
- •
Global climate and land-use changes will have a serious impact on individual species and communities of hummingbirds.
- •
Existing protected areas showed an important reduction of surface across the species distribution and hotspot areas for future.
- •
A large proportion of “safe places” does not match the areas targeted for agriculture expansion in future scenarios.
- •
It is imperative that policy-makers promote policies that are resilient to both threats as soon as possible.
- •
The expansion of bat habitat generalists coupled with range contraction of bat habitat specialist will homogenize the Neotropical bat communities.
- •
Warm-adapted bat species might expand their ranges towards higher altitudes, while mountain-top specialists will run out of suitable climate.
- •
Monitoring programs will be important to track species that are predicted to become extinct and also the projected range expansion of sanguivorous bats.
- •
The most effective way to protect Neotropical bat species will be increasing landscape connectivity and safeguarding the refugia highlighted here.
- •
We used Maxent ecological niche modeling to quantify habitat suitability of invasive plant species (IPS).
- •
Functional trait context dependence could affect suitable habitat distributions of IPS across different biomes.
- •
We suggested to use community mean functional traits to predict suitable habitat distributions of IPS.
- •
Insects are threatened from the drivers of global habitat loss and fragamentation.
- •
Insect diversity and conservation have been overlooked across conservation programs.
- •
Poor taxonomy and sampling biases restrict the understanding of diversity patterns.
- •
Erebidae moths are underrepresented across conservation polygons of southern Mexico.
- •
Protected areas are not effectively at preserving hyperdiverse groups.
- •
Ryegrass promotion sites (through the application of herbicide glyphosate) had lower vegetation cover <10 cm than other grazing sites.
- •
Structure of bird communities varied among management treatments.
- •
Ryegrass promotion sites had a negative effect on nearctic migrants.
- •
Understanding ecological processes are benefitial for wildlife conservation.
