What is conservation physiology? Perspectives on an increasingly integrated and essential science

Steven J. Cooke, Lawren Sack, Craig E. Franklin et al. · 26 Mar 2013

Globally, ecosystems and their constituent flora and fauna face the localized and broad-scale influence of human activities. Conservation practitioners and environmental managers struggle to identify and mitigate threats, reverse species declines, restore degraded ecosystems, and manage natural resources sustainably. Scientific research and evidence are increasingly regarded as the foundation for new regulations, conservation actions, and…

Measures of physiological stress: a transparent or opaque window into the status, management and conservation of species?

Ben Dantzer, Quinn E. Fletcher, Rudy Boonstra et al. · 27 Jun 2014

Conservation physiology proposes that measures of physiological stress (glucocorticoid levels) can be used to assess the status and future fate of natural populations. Increases in glucocorticoids may reflect a more challenging environment, suggesting that the influence of human activities on free-living animals could be quantified by measuring glucocorticoids. Biomedical studies suggest that chronic increases in…

The physiology of invasive plants in low-resource environments

Jennifer L. Funk · 5 Nov 2013

While invasive plant species primarily occur in disturbed, high-resource environments, many species have invaded ecosystems characterized by low nutrient, water, and light availability. Species adapted to low-resource systems often display traits associated with resource conservation, such as slow growth, high tissue longevity, and resource-use efficiency. This contrasts with our general understanding of invasive species physiology…

Advances in seed conservation of wild plant species: a review of recent research

Fiona R. Hay, Robin J. Probert · 22 Nov 2013

Seed banking is now widely used for the ex situ conservation of wild plant species. Many seed banks that conserve wild species broadly follow international genebank guidelines for seed collection, processing, storage, and management. However, over the last 10-20 years, problems and knowledge gaps have been identified, which have led to more focused seed conservation…

Overcoming the challenges of studying conservation physiology in large whales: a review of available methods

Kathleen E. Hunt, Michael J. Moore, Rosalind M. Rolland et al. · 15 May 2013

Large whales are subjected to a variety of conservation pressures that could be better monitored and managed if physiological information could be gathered readily from free-swimming whales. However, traditional approaches to studying physiology have been impractical for large whales, because there is no routine method for capture of the largest species and there is presently…

Conservation Physiology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Conservation Physiology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Conservation Physiology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Conservation Physiology use?
Conservation Physiology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Conservation Physiology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Conservation Physiology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Conservation Physiology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Conservation Physiology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Conservation Physiology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Conservation Physiology?
Conservation Physiology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Conservation Physiology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Conservation Physiology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Conservation Physiology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Conservation Physiology template cost?
You can start writing in the Conservation Physiology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Conservation Physiology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
