People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 2158-2177, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Global change is increasing the frequency and severity of human‐wildlife interactions by pushing people and wildlife into increasingly resource‐limited shared spaces. To understand the dynamics of human‐wildlife interactions and what may constitute human‐wildlife coexistence in the Anthropocene, there is a critical need to explore the spatial,

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 178-193, December 2023., 2023 Genetic analysis by scientists of hybridization events from 2006 to 2010 indicates one‐directional gene flow from polar bears to grizzly bears. Even if gene flow was later discovered from grizzly bears to polar bears, there is not enough time to allow for significant adaptation to a rapidly changing Arctic environment.

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1364-1379, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The social–ecological trap is an emerging concept that describes situations in which self‐reinforcing social and ecological feedbacks maintain or push a social–ecological system towards an undesirable state and threaten the sustainability of human societies.

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 519-549, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Urban water security (UWS) is and will remain a crucial issue over the next decades, especially as it is exacerbated by climate change effects and related hazards. Despite the growing number of studies focusing on more diverse dimensions, including social dimensions, of water security and urban dynamics, there is still an absence of ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Internet trade is increasingly recognized as a dispersal pathway of non‐native plant species that is difficult to monitor. We sought to identify non‐native flora present in the Chinese online market, the largest e‐commerce market globally, and to decipher the effect of existing trade regulations, among other variables, on e‐trading patterns ...

A systematic review of animal personality in conservation science
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Although animal personality research may have applied uses, this suggestion has yet to be evaluated by assessing empirical studies examining animal personality and conservation. To address this knowledge gap, we performed a systematic review of the peer‐reviewed literature relating to conservation science and animal personality.

Systematic review of conservation interventions to promote voluntary behavior change
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Understanding human behavior is vital to developing interventions that effectively lead to proenvironmental behavior change, whether the focus is at the individual or societal level. However, interventions in many fields have historically lacked robust forms of evaluation, which makes it hard to be confident that these conservation ...

Scaling up qualitative research to harness the capacity of lay people in invasive plant management
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Successful management of invasive plants (IPs) requires the active participation of diverse communities across land tenures. This can be challenging because communities do not always share the views of scientists and managers. They may directly disagree, have alternative views, or be unwilling to manage IPs.

Evaluation and redesign of the primers for detecting nitrogen cycling genes in environments
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1976-1989, September 2022., 2022 Abstract A better understanding of how nitrogen (N) cycling genes are involved in ecological processes is one of the crucial areas of microbial ecology. Currently, most molecular biological techniques investigating N cycling genes in the environment heavily rely on the accuracy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers; however, their specificity ...

How percentage‐protected targets can support positive biodiversity outcomes
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Global targets for the percentage area of land protected, such as 30% by 2030, have gained increasing prominence, but both their scientific basis and likely effectiveness have been questioned. As with emissions‐reduction targets based on desired climate outcomes, percentage‐protected targets combine values and science by estimating the area ...
