Evaluating the conservation impact of Antarctica's protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Antarctic specially protected areas (ASPAs) are a key regulatory mechanism for protecting Antarctic environmental values. Previous evaluations of the effectiveness of the ASPA system focused on its representativeness and design characteristics, presenting a compelling rationale for its systematic revision.

Timing of hydrologic anomalies direct impacts on migration traits in a flood pulse fishery system

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 494-506, March 2023., 2023
We designed a spectral analysis framework to quantify hydrological variation and linked it with fishery harvest records. Quantified effect sizes of hydrologic anomalous events demonstrated one designed hydrograph for fishery benefits: properly timed prolong drought followed by a strong flood pulse.

Early incisor lesions and Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis: Reliability of radiographic findings

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 261-269, March 2023., 2023
Summary Background In clinical practice, early diagnosis of Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis (EOTRH) and other resorptive incisor diseases is difficult to achieve. The radiographic appearance of subtle pathological changes has not been described in detail and might be confused with age‐related changes.

Globalisation and pollinators: Pollinator declines are an economic threat to global food systems

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 773-785, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Trade in animal‐pollinated crops plays an important role in global food systems: in many low‐income countries, export of pollinated crops such as coffee and cocoa plays a significant role in livelihoods, while food systems in many higher income nations depend on international trade in these crops to satisfy their local demands.

A new method for broad‐scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract There is increasing interestin broad‐scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic change, particularly for conservation purposes. We devised a method to reliably predict the impact of climate change on large assemblages of plant communities ...

Representation of the world's biophysical conditions by the global protected area network

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are often implemented without consideration of already existing PAs, which is likely to cause an overrepresentation of certain biophysical conditions. We assessed the representativeness of the current PA network with regard to the world's biophysical conditions to highlight which conditions are underprotected and where ...

A strategy for the next decade to address data deficiency in neglected biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 502-509, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Measuring progress toward international biodiversity targets requires robust information on the conservation status of species, which the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species provides. However, data and capacity are lacking for most hyperdiverse groups, such as invertebrates, plants, and fungi ...

Evaluation of the use of psychometric scales in human–wildlife interaction research to determine attitudes and tolerance toward wildlife

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 533-547, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Studies evaluating human–wildlife interactions (HWIs) in a conservation context often include psychometric scales to measure attitudes and tolerance toward wildlife. However, data quality is at risk when such scales are used without appropriate validation or reliability testing, potentially leading to erroneous interpretation or application of

The challenge of biased evidence in conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 249-262, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Efforts to tackle the current biodiversity crisis need to be as efficient and effective as possible given chronic underfunding. To inform decision‐makers of the most effective conservation actions, it is important to identify biases and gaps in the conservation literature to prioritize future evidence generation.

Achieving Crack‐Free Laser Powder Bed Fusion of AlxFeCoCrNi Alloys With B2‐Decorated Substructures via Low‐Al In Situ Alloying

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The B2 phase is a critical strengthening constituent in AlxFeCoCrNi high‐entropy alloys (HEAs), and introducing such phases onto the nanoscale cellular substructures is an ideal pathway for strengthening alloys fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L‐PBF).
