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 🚨doi.org/pj5d
Title and abstract of the article 'Is the population of the Critically Endangered white-bellied heron declining in Namdapha Tiger Reserve, India?', alongside an image of the species, a map of the study area and the cover of issue 58-6 of Oryx, in which the article is featured.

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 🐚doi.org/pjfz

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: doi.org/pj2f

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 📷 doi.org/pgqc
Title and Abstract of the paper, in English and Spanish. Below is an image of one of the camera traps, and one of the signs used to deter theft.

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: doi.org/pf3w

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 🐅 doi.org/pdvg

Sharp & Gray analysed data on 296 Critically Endangered island-endemic arthropod species & the threats they face. Their findings highlight the importance of tiny habitats like caves, high elevation areas, isolated pools & sea stacks for their conservation🪲doi.org/pcbm
Title and abstract of the article 'Tiny habitats of tiny species: the importance of micro-refugia for threatened island-endemic arthropods'. Below the abstract is an infographic showing the process of filtering IUCN Red List assessments, identifying Critically Endangered arthropods confined to micro-refugia, and finally extracting species-specific threat information coded into categories within assessments.
