A multidisciplinary approach to estimating wolf population size for long‐term conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The wolf (Canis lupus) is among the most controversial of wildlife species. Abundance estimates are required to inform public debate and policy decisions, but obtaining them at biologically relevant scales is challenging. We developed a system for comprehensive population estimation across the Italian alpine region (100,000 km2), involving ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Managed breeding programs are an important tool in marsupial conservation efforts but may be costly and have adverse genetic effects in unavoidably small captive colonies. Biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could help overcome these challenges, but further demonstration of their potential is required to improve uptake. We

Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.

Mitigating the effects of climate change on the nests of sea turtles with artificial irrigation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract For sea turtles, like many oviparous species, increasing temperatures during development threaten to increase embryonic mortality, alter offspring quality, and potentially create suboptimal primary sex ratios. Various methods are being implemented to mitigate the effects of climate change on reproductive success, but these methods, such as ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

A stochastic model for estimating sustainable limits to wildlife mortality in a changing world
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Human‐caused mortality of wildlife is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. Assessing the population‐level impact of fisheries bycatch and other human‐caused mortality of wildlife has typically relied upon deterministic methods. However, population declines are often accelerated by stochastic factors that are not accounted for in such ...

Bridging gaps in demographic analysis with phylogenetic imputation
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 1210-1221, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Phylogenetically informed imputation methods have rarely been applied to estimate missing values in demographic data but may be a powerful tool for reconstructing vital rates of survival, maturation, and fecundity for species of conservation concern.

The uses and implications of avian vocalizations for conservation planning
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 50-63, February 2021., 2021 Abstract There is a growing recognition that animal behavior can affect wildlife conservation, but there have been few direct studies of animal behavior in conservation programs. However, a great deal of existing behavioral research can be applied in the context of conservation. Research on avian vocalizations provides an excellent example.

Simulating the efficacy of wolf–dog hybridization management with individual‐based modeling
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.In the photo, an introgressed adult wolf–dog in the Northern Apennines, Italy, not far from the city of Bologna. Part of a research program, this male has been sterilized and released back in its own pack with a Global Positioning Collar. Abstract Introgressive hybridization between wolves and dogs is a conservation concern due to its potentially ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 294-311, December 2024.Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze
