In response to global declines in biodiversity, many global conservation prioritization schemes were developed to guide effective protected area establishment.

We used matching methods and a Before-After Control-Impact causal analysis to evaluate the impact of two key prioritization schemes-Biodiversity Hotspots and Last of the Wild-representing examples of the reactive and proactive ends of the prioritization spectrum.

The medical literature has limited reports on outcomes following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pregnancy.
