Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the
spread of diseases that threaten Earth’s biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative …

Wildlife diseases pose an increasing threat to biodiversity and are a major management
challenge. A striking example of this threat is the emergence of chytridiomycosis. Despite …

The impacts of pathogen emergence in naïve hosts can be catastrophic, and pathogen
spread now ranks as a major threat to biodiversity. However, pathogen impacts can persist for …

Emerging wildlife pathogens are an increasing threat to biodiversity. One of the most serious
wildlife diseases is chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium …

Australia’s 2019–2020 mega-fires were exacerbated by drought, anthropogenic climate change
and existing land-use management. Here, using a combination of remotely sensed data …

Aim After environmental disasters, species with large population losses may need urgent
protection to prevent extinction and support recovery. Following the 2019–2020 Australian …

Aim The incidence of major fires is increasing globally, creating extraordinary challenges for
governments, managers and conservation scientists. In 2019–2020, Australia experienced …

A fundamental aim of conservation biology is to understand how species respond to
threatening processes, with much research effort focused on identifying threats and quantifying …

Biologists have long valued publishing detailed information on rare and endangered species.
Until relatively recently, much of this information was accessible only through accessing …

Dispersal knowledge is essential for conservation management, and demand is growing.
But are we accumulating dispersal knowledge at a pace that can meet the demand? To …
