Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Evaluating the outcomes and tracking the trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism to conciliate development and conservation. We reviewed the literature to determine the principles that should underpin biodiversity offset planning and the criteria for offset evaluation at the project ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 80-94, June 2023., 2023 The objective of this study is to characterise ecological connectivity for mammals and identify important patches and linkages for connecting urban green spaces for Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our results demonstrate the potential for Southeast Asian megacities to support biodiversity in the urban context, and the potential for a different kind of ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.

Application of decision tools to ethical analysis in biodiversity conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Achieving ethically responsible decisions is crucial for the success of biodiversity conservation projects. We adapted the ethical matrix, decision tree, and Bateson's cube to assist in the ethical analysis of complex conservation scenarios by structuring these tools so that they can implement the different value dimensions (environmental ...

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 231-242, February 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Objective Previous work has suggested that the ultrasound‐based benign simple descriptors (BDs) can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the BDs and to validate a two‐step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy, in which the modified ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 25-39, December 2022., 2022 The rainforests of Southeast Asia have a high diversity of animals, many of which eat fruit and disperse the seeds of forest plants. Several large‐bodied species occur in these forests; these animals are predicted to have especially important seed dispersal roles but are also among the species most threatened by defaunation.

Ecological and economic implications of alternative metrics in biodiversity offset markets
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Policy tools are needed that allow reconciliation of human development pressures with conservation priorities. Biodiversity offsetting can be used to compensate for ecological losses caused by development activities. Landowners can choose to undertake conservation actions, including habitat restoration, to generate biodiversity offsets ...

Effects of site‐selection bias on estimates of biodiversity change
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 688-698, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Estimates of biodiversity change are essential for the management and conservation of ecosystems. Accurate estimates rely on selecting representative sites, but monitoring often focuses on sites of special interest. How such site‐selection biases influence estimates of biodiversity change is largely unknown.

Mapping legal authority for terrestrial conservation corridors along streams
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 943-955, August 2020., 2020 Abstract Wildlife corridors aim to promote species’ persistence by connecting habitat patches across fragmented landscapes. Their implementation is limited by patterns of land ownership and complicated by differences in the jurisdictional and regulatory authorities under which lands are managed.

Using metapopulation theory for practical conservation of mangrove endemic birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 266-275, February 2020., 2020 Abstract As a landscape becomes increasingly fragmented through habitat loss, the individual patches become smaller and more isolated and thus less likely to sustain a local population. Metapopulation theory is appropriate for analyzing fragmented landscapes because it combines empirical landscape features with species‐specific information to produce ...
