Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need for reassessment3,4. Here we report the findings of the second Global Amphibian Assessment, evaluating 8,011 species for the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. We find that amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class (40.7% of species are globally threatened). The updated Red List Index shows that the status of amphibians...AuthorsBurhan Tjaturadi, Carlos C. Martínez Rivera, Carlos R. Vásquez Almazán, Celsa Señaris, S. R.

- Widespread declines in breeding bird populations have been documented across North America since the 1970s, and concerns about loss of avian biodiversity are growing. Species with narrow habitat preferences are of particular conservation concern. Connecticut Warblers (Oporornis agilis) breed in forests in central Canada and around the western Great Lakes; throughout much of its breeding range, this species is associated with lowland black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina) forests. Population trends of the Connecticut Warbler indicate it is one of the most rapidly...AuthorsAlexis Grinde, Stephen Kolbe, Kara Snow, Brett Howland, Gerald Niemi, Robert A.

- Management and conservation efforts that support the recovery and protection of large rivers are daunting, reflecting the complexity of the challenge and extent of effort (in terms of policy, economic investment, and spatial extent) needed to afford measurable change. These large systems have generally experienced intensive development and regulation, compromising their capacity to respond to disturbances such as climate change or wildfire. Functionally, large river and basin management require insights gained from social, ecological, geophysical, and hydrological sciences. This multidiscip...AuthorsRebecca Flitcroft, Luke Whitman, James White, Rose Wallick, Laurel Stratton Garvin, Cassandra Smith, Robert Plotnikoff, Michael Mulvey, Tobias Kock, Krista Jones, Peter Gruendike, Carolyn Gombert, Guillermo Giannico, Andrew Dutterer, Daniel Brown, Hannah Barrett, Brian Bangs, Robert M.

- This study conducted a cradle-to-grave life-cycle assessment (LCA) of engineered wood flooring manufactured in the eastern United States. System boundaries in this study included the following information modules: raw material extraction (A1), raw material transportation (A2), product manufacturing (and packaging) (A3), product transportation (A4), installation (A5), product use (B1-B7), and end-of-life (C1-C4). Two disposal options were considered for flooring products at the end of useful life: landfilling and burning. The burning option captures heat, which displaces use of natural gas....AuthorsM.

- White-headed Woodpeckers (Dryobates albolarvatus) are strongly associated with late-successional dry forest types. Callback surveys along transects are typically used to understand their status and trends in response to forest management. However, this survey method has proven to be logistically challenging because of the number of spatial and temporal replicate surveys needed to accurately interpret surveys that yield no detections. Passive acoustic recording units (ARUs) effectively detect certain avian species and may offer a more efficient and effective survey method, but few studies...AuthorsMarie Gaylord, Adam Duarte, Brenda McComb, Jamie RatliffKeywordsSourceJournal of Field Ornithology. 94(4):1.Year2023
- Value inclusion is critical for effective ecosystem science policy and largely emerged from critiques of the value-exclusionary attributes of ecological and economic approaches to value assessments and valuations. But whether and how value is excluded during social–scientific approaches to the assessments and valuations of ecosystem features has not received adequate attention. We identify and discuss instances of when and how value is excluded during social–scientific approaches to the assessments and valuations of ecosystem features to which people ascribe value. We illustrate the...AuthorsVirginie Maris, Stanley Asah, Sunneetha Subramanian, Dale Blahna, Marie Stenseke, Adrina Chacón-CascanteSourceBioScience. 73(9): 663-670.Year2023

- This study conducted a cradle-to-grave life-cycle assessment (LCA) of solid hardwood flooring manufactured in the eastern United States. System boundaries in this study included the following information modules: raw material extraction (A1), raw material transportation (A2), product manufacturing (A3), product transportation (A4), installation (A5), product use (B1-B7), and end-of-life (C1-C4). Two disposal options were considered, landfilling and burning. The burning option captures heat, which displaces natural gas (D stage).
