Conservation Letters

This amazing photograph of a male gharial carrying lots of little ones was taken by Dhritiman Mukherjee, external in India's National Chambal Sanctuary. It served as inspiration for a piece of artwork Davide Bonadonna created for the Big 8 exhibition in Hong Kong (1/3).

Our latest @ConLetters study highlights how replacing 50% of green space with concrete halves bird fledgling numbers. But to build truly sustainable #cities, we need ecological insights from #BeyondTheWest. en.uw.edu.pl/bird-breeding-… conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… #DecolonizingScience

Concrete and #asphalt impact reproductive success of #birds in #cities. Check out our latest #research recently published on @ConLetters to know more! @MartaSzulkin #urbanecology #wildlife conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/175526…

Im więcej betonu, tym mniejsze lęgi ptaków w miastach. Takie wnioski płyną z badań kierowanych przez prof. @MartaSzulkin z @BiolUW. Artykuł na ten temat ukazał się na łamach @ConLetters. Praca jest pionierska dla obszaru Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej i dostarcza danych twórcom polityk miejskich. 🔗uw.edu.pl/legi-ptakow-w-…

We've been relatively quiet on Twitter lately, and it's mainly because of what this platform has become. The air is cleaner on our other account - please consider giving us a follow at @consletters.bsky.social. This account will still be maintained and periodically posting.

New research published in @ConLetters says the world's peatlands — squishy, waterlogged, buggy habitats — are vastly under-protected, despite vital role they play in regulating the environment. Canada is home to a quarter of the world’s peatlands. @TheWCS theweathernetwork.com/en/news/climat…

SSRI co-fund @AnnePisor (@PSU_Anthro) recently contributed to a study about how long-distance friendships can provide benefits to community-based conservation in @ConLetters. Pisor examined 28 fishing villages in northern Tanzania. Full Article ➡️ buff.ly/4gHUtsN

Calling all artists & creatives - Help shape the face of Conservation Letters! We're seeking iconic, stylized art that captures the beauty & diversity of #conservation science for the new cover of @ConLetters. 🎨📸🌍 Learn more and submit by 31 January: conbio.org/publications/s…

A nature #conservation paradox: A study led by biologists from the University of Vienna and La Sapienza University in Rome shows that some of the species introduced by humans are themselves endangered in their native areas. Study from @ConLetters phys.org/news/2024-12-n…

Calling all our multi-talented readers 📢 As we shift in 2025 to continuous publication, Conservation Letters will start using a single cover image. We'd like your help with finding a good design! For more details please see here: conbio.org/publications/s…

@CallumS_nature @SCBEurope I can't speak for the author, but IMHO they are absolutely essential for both long-term biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing. Many of nature's contributions to people are delivered 'on site'.

For those who are in the process of shifting, please note that we have a new journal account in a place with better air quality: @consletters.bsky.social This account will stay operational, and we'll duplicate many posts between the two.

The expansion of #wildliferanching has been broadly linked to #conservation benefits, #jobcreation, and economic contributions.🐂 Check out Denner et al's article, availble at doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

Our new paper shows fisheries data are usually too noisy to resolve model uncertainty. Thus, typical sustainability targets (e.g. maintaining 60% of carrying capacity) might be too aggressive, w V Cattoni @LeahFSouth @DavidJWarne @cboettig @SMB_MathBiology link.springer.com/article/10.100…
