Anthropomorphized species as tools for conservation: utility beyond prosocial, intelligent and suffering species
TL;DR: Anthropomorphism has recently emerged in the literature as a useful tool for conservation as mentioned in this paper, and people construct anthropomorphic meanings around species, through a diversity of mechanisms and with both positive and negative effects.
Defining Flagship Uses is Critical for Flagship Selection: A Critique of the IUCN Climate Change Flagship Fleet
TL;DR: It is argued that critical attention now needs to turn towards how flagships actually work, e.g. how they are deployed within and perceived by different societies and cultures, and whether this produces the desired conservation outcome.
Meta-analysis of the effects of small mammal disturbances on species diversity, richness and plant biomass
TL;DR: It is found that small mammal disturbances in general increase biomass, and both increase and decrease richness and diversity, and is recommended that future studies directly measure disturbance impact, measure disturbance effects on animal and well as plant taxa, and take measurements on multiple scales.

Prospects for rewilding with camelids
TL;DR: The evolutionary and paleoecological history of extinct and extant camelids are reviewed, and their potential ecological roles within rewilding projects for deserts, grasslands and savannas are discussed.
