Most AES are action-based, compensating farmers for implementing biodiversity-friendly management practices. In contrast, result-based payments (RBP) are AES that reward farmers for achieving specific biodiversity targets, making them a promising alternative for farmland species conservation. RBP have largely focused on vascular plants due to the difficulty and expense of monitoring elusive or mobile species. Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) offers new opportunities for low-cost, standardised monitoring of soniferous animals’ occurrence, activity and diversity. This study conceptually explores the integration of PAM as a novel monitoring approach within RBP. Using established RBP design frameworks, we examine key considerations for employing PAM in future RBP. We identify appropriate biodiversity targets at species and ecological community levels as well as indicators that effectively represent these targets. We further assess how the use of PAM affects the costs associated with RBP, with a focus on expenses for monitoring. Farmer acceptance is key to the success of AES, so we discuss farmers’ willingness to adopt PAM technology and their perspectives on using ecological communities as targets in RBP. Finally, we propose pathways to implement PAM-based RBP pilot projects, emphasising collaboration with farmers and authorities, and provide an example for the whinchat as a target species. Such pilots can test the feasibility of integrating PAM in practical settings while addressing challenges identified in this study at the conceptual level, such as cost, technical implementation, and farmer engagement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 111042"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a lack of understanding on how biodiversity scales across levels of biological organization. Conservation initiatives differ in scope and priorities, ranging from protection of a particular species to ecosystem function such that an integrated understanding across levels may tell us how focusing on one priority may benefit others. Unionid freshwater mussels are one of the most imperiled faunal groups making them a focus of significant conservation efforts. Here we examine how genetic, species, and functional diversity are interlinked in mussels and how protection at one level may lead to greater permanence at another. We leveraged an extensive dataset from the Mobile and Tennessee River basins, a biodiversity hotspot for mussels, to test for relationships among 1) cumulative multi-species abundance, species richness, and imperilment status; 2) population genetic diversity and species abundance and richness; 3) species richness and functional diversity; and 4) genetic diversity and functional diversity. Overall, integration across these datasets revealed positive abundance-richness relationships, a positive relationship between intraspecific abundance and genetic diversity, and positive relationships for both genetic diversity and species richness with functional richness. Our results have implications for species- or ecosystem-level conservation and management efforts as managers may be able to survey diversity at a subset of levels and make reasonable predictions about the others.

Since 1980, it has been the second-highest cause of decline in farmland bird populations in Western Europe, after agricultural intensification. Impacts occur through direct destruction of natural and semi-natural habitats or their fragmentation, and also indirectly through the alteration of abiotic and biotic conditions in surrounding habitats, a phenomenon known as the zone effect. Most studies on the effect of artificialization on birds focus on existing structures without considering pre-construction conditions, which limits the ability to accurately assess and quantify their impacts and their zone effect. These studies also often only focus on singing male birds, which are easier to monitor, although females tend to make a greater contribution to population dynamics and may behave differently than males. Taking a different approach, this study estimated the impact of linear transport infrastructure before, during and after its construction on female birds in a breeding population. The case study was the Nîmes–Montpellier high-speed railway (HSR), which crosses the Costières Nîmoises Special Protection Area, home to one of the largest populations in France of little bustards (<em>Tetrax tetrax</em>), a highly endangered farmland bird species. Over a 10-year period, female little bustards were monitored before, during and after construction of the HSR within suitable breeding habitat at stratified distances from the railway. The results revealed a significant decline in female density, with a strong avoidance of areas near the HSR, extending up to 775 m after the trains began operating. While there were no major changes in breeding habitat availability in the area, female breeding capacity dropped by 57.8 % in the zone effect area, representing 26 % of the protected area. These findings highlight the need for thorough assessments of the indirect impacts of infrastructure using robust before-during-after-distance-control-impact methods. They also show the importance of considering zone effects in environmental impact assessments and conservation planning to ensure effective protection of threatened species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"305 ","pages":"Article 111058"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the deleterious effects of this approach in redwoods are well documented, the effects on mycorrhizal fungi have yet to be considered. This study aimed to determine how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) are affected by the encroachment and subsequent thinning of Pinaceae. We expected the exclusive reliance of Sitka spruce (<em>Picea sitchensis</em>) and Douglas-fir (<em>Pseudotsuga menziesii</em>) on EMF to reduce the richness and relative abundance of AMF in second-growth stands compared to old-growth. Indeed, we found this to be the case (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05; Kruskal-Wallis). While we predicted the richness and relative abundance of EMF to be most prevalent in second-growth, there were no significant differences between old- and second-growth stands. Furthermore, we expected the soils of thinned forests to be intermediate, where the richness and relative abundance of AMF and EMF would fall between old- and second-growth. Instead, the richness and relative abundance of AMF in thinned forests was significantly lower compared to old-growth, and closer to that of unthinned second-growth stands. We only found marginal differences in the composition of the broader fungal community across old-growth, second-growth, and thinned redwood stands.
