Setting goals for pollinator gardens

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, declines in animal pollinators have stimulated tremendous interest in pollinator‐friendly gardening. There is a widespread notion that pollinator gardens are beneficial, but the specific capacity of pollinator gardens to improve biodiversity conservation and societal well‐being remains unclear.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Using lessons from criminal justice research to improve conservation law enforcement research and practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Urgency to save species from extinction has prompted increased investment in law enforcement in protected areas. To date, such law enforcement has largely focused on increasing costs and reducing opportunities for offending. However, these resource‐intensive approaches are not always effective and can contribute to conflict between people and ...

No more fashion victim? Spillovers across multiple streams: The case of fur farming bans during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Though spillovers have been initially described in the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), we know little about how to conceptualize and measure them. To investigate spillovers, we draw on the case of fur farming bans during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Whereas fur farming has long been criticized for its animal welfare problems, with the onset of the

What Do People Want From a Welfare System? Conjoint Survey Evidence From UK Adults

Poverty &Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT What do people want from a welfare system? Previous research has suggested a list of desiderata, such as that the system: reduces poverty; reduces inequality; improves mental and physical health; costs little; and rewards only the deserving. How do these different features trade off against one another to determine overall desirability?

Integrating local ecological knowledge into systematic conservation planning for seahorse conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Successful long‐term conservation relies on strategic planning for pragmatic actions to mitigate threats. Prioritizing actions and areas to support conservation goals in the most cost‐effective scenario becomes crucial in resource‐limited environments. However, planning and management can be challenging in data‐limited contexts.

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition

Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 830-861, May 2025.
Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

Uncovering Xi Jinping's Policy Agenda: Text As Data Approach

The Developing Economies, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 9-46, March 2025.
How many agendas has Xi Jinping put forth and promoted since taking office in 2012, and what are the types of agendas? How much of political attention has each agenda received, and how has the allocation of attention changed over time? We utilize a dataset of presidential statements, speeches, and reports from 2012 to 2022 and employed automated text ...

Systematic review of the impact of restrictive wildlife trade measures on conservation of iconic species in southern Africa

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Trade restrictions are often advocated and implemented as measures to protect wild species threatened by overexploitation. However, in some instances, their efficacy has been questioned, notably by governments in the southern African (SADC) region, which tend to favor a sustainable use approach to wildlife management. We conducted a systematic

A spatially explicit assessment of factors shaping attitudes toward African elephant conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Conservation plans that explicitly account for the social landscape where people and wildlife co‐occur can yield more effective and equitable conservation practices and outcomes. Yet, social data remain underutilized, often because social data are treated as aspatial or are analyzed with approaches that do not quantify uncertainty or address ...
