Systematic review of the impact of restrictive wildlife trade measures on conservation of iconic species in southern Africa
Conserv Biol. 2024 Apr 5:e14262. doi: 10.1111/cobi.14262. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrade restrictions are often advocated and implemented as measures to protect wild species threatened by overexploitation. However, in some instances, their efficacy has been questioned, notably by governments in the southern African (SADC) region, which tend to favor a sustainable use approach to wildlife management. We conducted a systematic review of published literature guided by the PRISMA process to examine the effectiveness of trade restrictions and directly related control measures in addressing threats to species conservation i...

Effects of coastal development on sawfish movements and the need for marine animal crossing  solutions
Conserv Biol. 2024 Apr 5:e14263. doi: 10.1111/cobi.14263. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough human-made barriers to animal movement are ubiquitous across many types of ecosystems, the science behind these barriers and how to ameliorate their effects lags far behind in marine environments compared with terrestrial and freshwater realms. Using juvenile sawfish in an Australian nursery habitat as a model system, we aimed to assess the effects of a major anthropogenic development on the movement behavior of coastal species. We compared catch rates and movement behavior (via acoustic telemetry) of juvenile green sawfish (Pr...

Collective effects of rising average temperatures and heat events on oviparous embryos
Conserv Biol. 2024 Apr 5:e14266. doi: 10.1111/cobi.14266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSurvival of the immobile embryo in response to rising temperature is important to determine a species' vulnerability to climate change. However, the collective effects of 2 key thermal characteristics associated with climate change (i.e., rising average temperature and acute heat events) on embryonic survival remain largely unexplored. We used empirical measurements and niche modeling to investigate how chronic and acute heat stress independently and collectively influence the embryonic survival of lizards across latitudes. We collected...
