Ex situ thermal acclimation alters temperature selection with limited post-release effects in an endangered frog ( Rana muscosa )

Abstract Amphibian declines driven by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) pose major challenges for conservation, particularly for cold-adapted species occupying habitats where temperatures may be less limiting to Bd growth. Host thermal behaviour can influenc...

Management coverage and spatial gaps for carnivore habitat across Mexico

Abstract Area‐based conservation is central to global wildlife protection. In Mexico, a mosaic of land management types beyond traditional protected areas (PAs), including voluntary conservation areas (VCAs), wildlife management units (UMAs), and Indigenous Territories (ITs), may...
