Menzies et al. detected no white-bellied herons in their 2023–2024 surveys in Namdapha Tiger Reserve, India, down from 7 individuals in 2017. The area was once a stronghold for the Critically Endangered species but its population appears to be declining 🚨https://t.co/mLaSvMibFa
In the lead article of our latest issue, Kough et al. discuss the pros and cons of queen conch aquaculture. Whilst useful for research, community engagement & education, protecting natural breeding aggregations of conch is a priority for species recovery 🐚https://t.co/7PsHnQB4Te
Fichera et al. examine the ecology of the Sardinian long-eared bat: it is closely associated with dry broadleaf forests but negatively affected by pastures, urban & coniferous habitats. Protecting known roosts is key to conserving the remaining colonies: https://t.co/Aaywp6FrVQ

📣 Our latest issue highlights our partnership with the @IUCNssc, including an editorial by Chair Jon Paul Rodriguez and articles on topics such as the use of seahorses in Malaysia and conservation of the northern muriqui in Brazil. Discover these & more: https://t.co/GlRiuyBKSu
Flatt et al. report that 65% of camera traps were stolen during their study in Costa Rica, despite locks, cases & signs. Such theft leads to data gaps, impairing research potential in the region and highlighting the need to limit financial & data losses 📷 https://t.co/rKeWeT0fPH
Ding et al. captured 2 camera-trap images of the clouded leopard in Qomolangma National Nature Reserve, China. These are the first records of the Vulnerable species in Jilong County & could suggest there is more potential habitat for the species in China: https://t.co/udOE7jcRw5
Oleynikov et al. studied Amur tiger traffic collisions in the Russian Far East during 1980-2023. 46% occurred since 2020, due to prey scarcity following an African swine fever outbreak. Wildlife-friendly road planning is vital for the species' survival 🐅 https://t.co/02JCwhaCet
