Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co-occurring invaders jointly influence pollination networks. We leveraged the relative simplicity of the Ogasawara archipelago to assess the combined impacts of multiple invaders on pollination networks. We surveyed floral and pollinator communities and quantified plant-pollinator interactions across four islands with varying degrees of invasion. We characterized invasion degree based on the abundance of three invasive taxa: green anoles (Anolis carolinensis), a predator; western honey bees (Apis mellifera), a floral competitor; and several flowering plants. Structural equation models were used to quantify direct and indirect effects of these invaders on effective plant-pollinator partners (niche breadth or variety of partners a species interacts with in a given community) and the degree of specialization (d', niche partitioning or selectivity of a species) of plant and pollinator communities. All invaders strongly affected pollinator diversity and, to a lesser extent, plant diversity. Anoles had the strongest negative effect on pollinator diversity, triggering cascading effects across the trophic chain. Directly or indirectly, all invaders negatively affected plant resource use. Honey bee abundance had a direct negative effect on plant effective partners and specialization, and anole abundance and the proportion of invasive plants indirectly affected plant resource use through a reduction in pollinator diversity. Degree of invasion and network structure mediated whether honey bees contributed to functional compensation or facilitated invasional meltdown. Our findings demonstrated that co-occurring invaders generated synergistic pressures on pollinators and plants, underscoring the importance of evaluating invasions in a multistressor context. Integrative approaches are essential for developing conservation strategies in vulnerable ecosystems, particularly oceanic islands, where biological invasions are the principal driver of biodiversity loss.</p>","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70304"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147764887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices. The present-day genetic structure and demographic history of the two vent-dwelling gastropod species, Lepetodrilus atlanticus and Peltospira smaragdina, were investigated using more than 15,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and mtCox1 sequences. Each species comprised three genetic groups. Genetic breaks were stronger for L. atlanticus, separating three distinct operational taxonomic units (5°S, Broken Spur at 29°N, and the Azorean vent fields near 37°N). Peltospira smaragdina was also geographically separated into three groups: Broken Spur, TAG, and Snake Pit (23-29°N); Lucky Strike (37°N); and Moytirra (45°N). A semipermeable zone was detected south of Rainbow (35°N), similar to that of vent mussels in this area, suggesting the presence of a multispecies hybrid zone. Demographic inferences supported secondary contact between most pairs of metapopulations for both species, but the time since contact was insufficient for allele frequencies to rehomogenize. Gene flow between vent fields may be sporadic and rare or restricted by genetic barriers. The fragmentation of species into isolated metapopulations may reduce their resilience to disturbance and create the need for specific conservation measures. Isolated populations (e.g., Moytirra for P. smaragdina, 5°S and Broken Spur for L. atlanticus), source populations (e.g., Lucky Strike for P. smaragdina), admixture areas, and sites that may act as stepping stones within a metapopulation must be protected from deep-sea mining.

Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in form and function, making them challenging to synthesize and put into practice. We reviewed 59 studies that assessed cetacean entanglement risk and organized them based on the three core ERA components: problem formulation, analysis (exposure and consequences), and risk characterization. Across regions, approaches ranged from spatial-temporal overlap models and encounter-rate analyses to expert-based qualitative scoring, reflecting differences in data availability, species biology, and fishery context. Exposure was evaluated in 95% of studies, consequence analysis appeared in 76% of assessments, and risk was fully or partially characterized by 92% of studies, sometimes relative to thresholds for mortality or population decline. About one-third (35%) included objectives related to management evaluation, such as considering risk-reduction from gear modifications and time-area closures. Overall, we found that uptake would improve with more consistent reporting and explicit links to decision pathways. Clearer articulation of endpoints, study scope, and underlying assumptions, alongside more transparent treatment of uncertainty and data limitations, would make assessments easier to interpret and compare. Building in validation and planning for periodic updates would further strengthen confidence and support defensible management action.

The red list is deeply embedded in each of the five global biodiversity treaties. As the most authoritative database on species conservation status, the red list often displays a supra-legal character: its species designations effectively dictate policy makers to act accordingly. In some cases, species designations even create legal facts, a phenomenon I call auto-legality. The entanglement between the red list and IBL makes pertinent the negative critique of the list regarding species bias and interhuman inequalities. The IUCN sets rigorous assessment criteria but refrains from directing who makes the assessments. This results in the red list containing a bias in favor of vertebrate species and a Global North ecovision. Addressing these persistent problems would improve the merit of the close relation between the IUCN Red List and IBL.

Using data from over 2000 monitoring locations, we assessed habitat sensitivity to trawling through generalized additive models (GAMs) and the SoS indicator, which quantifies benthic habitat quality based on the proportion of sentinel species (i.e., species typical of the habitat and sensitive to the pressure). We also sought to establish scientifically grounded quality thresholds to assess bottom-trawling impacts by applying three complementary approaches: distance to degradation, natural variation, and detectable change. We conducted a temporal analysis to evaluate changes in trawling impacts over time. Impact assessments varied depending on the method used to determine thresholds, although the natural variation and distance to degradation approaches yielded consistent results. Despite the methodological differences, all approaches identified offshore circalittoral mud and offshore circalittoral mixed sediments as the most affected habitats. The Gulf of Cádiz had more overall impacts than northern Spain. Impacts decreased significantly across all benthic habitats in association with declining trawling intensity, although extensive areas remained at risk. Our approach provides a scalable and robust way to assess seabed condition at broad spatial scales.

However, utility-scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making strategic planning essential. We used steppe birds, a highly threatened group occurring in lands potentially suitable for PV plants, as a model to evaluate the spatial overlap between conservation priorities and PV infrastructure. We quantified and mapped taxonomic (TD), functional (FD), and phylogenetic (PD) diversity of 26 species across one of the main strongholds of European steppe birds (mainland Spain and Balearic Islands) to identify prioritization scenarios that best preserved all steppe bird diversity facets (TD, FD, and PD) and steppe birds of conservation concern. We generated a multifaceted diversity map based on the combination of TD, FD, and PD and overlaid existing PV infrastructure to determine bird exposure areas (i.e., high multifaceted diversity with current high PV occupancy) and PV avoidance areas (high multifaceted diversity with low or no current PV occupancy). The prioritization scenario that combined TD, FD, and PD retained 68.5% of TD, 75.5% of FD, and 59.7% of PD and 62.8% of areas with species of conservation concern, providing a more balanced representation across biodiversity facets than other prioritization scenarios.
