New on European conservation science: Long-term effects of fragmentation (patch density) on metapopulation dynamics of Åland Islands Glanville fritillary 🦋 in 🇫🇮 are positive. Small patches can contribute to conservation! Galán-Acedo et al. Conservation Letters doi.org/10.1111/conl.1…

Less than a month remains to submit your applications for the SCB Graduate Student Research Awards! The ten $1,000 awards support travel, materials or equipment for graduate student members to conduct field research in #conservation science #researchawards #biodiversity

New on global conservation science: What's destructive fishing really? In short: "practice causing irrecoverable habitat degradation, adverse environmental impacts, long-term species declines & negative livelihood impacts" McCarthy et al. Conservation Letters doi.org/10.1111/conl.1…

New on global conservation science: Values & expectations define conservation planning. Conservation planners used value-focused thinking to evaluate the underlying drivers of planning, resulting in more impactful outcomes. Martin et al. Conservation Science and Practice doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

New on global conservation science: Elements of successful decision-making: set measurable objectives, list assumptions and consider constraints, uncertainty & trade-offs. <1/2 of published conservation examples include all. Beher et al. Conservation Science and Practice doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

📣📣all SCB members in Europe, opportunity to influence SCB - Europe Region: vote for next President-Elect by August 30th (link in your email). The elected person will later become President of Europe Region. Candidates are Laura Bosco Laura Bosco & Stephen Venn Stephen Venn

New on European conservation science: Identifying & prioritizing stepping stones for 🇦🇹 forests needs to be done in a regional context and not only value the connecting of areas but also the biodiversity of stepping stones. Lapin et al. Conservation Science and Practice doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

New on global conservation science: Modeling global eBird data shows that occupancy of >400 raptors decreases with human land modification and large raptors' have lower occurrence probability in croplands 🦅 Zhang et al. Conservation Biology doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

A few more days to vote in the election for our next President-Elect!

New on global conservation science: Geomorphology is rarely considered in conservation. River-floodplains show an example why interactions between biota & erosion/deposition processes should receive get in science & practice. Cienciala Conservation Biology doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

It is through urban #greenspaces and #greeninfrastructure that human populations benefit from and connect with nature in cities.🏙🌿Visintin et al share that #architecturaldesign and #conservationscience need to be combined to enhance nature in cities. doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

We have a great list of ongoing award, fellowship and grant opportunities that we thought our members might be interested in. Check it out here: docs.google.com/document/d/1-x… #conservation #funding #fellowships #awards
