Modeling genetic benefits and financial costs of integrating biobanking into the conservation breeding of managed marsupials

open access: yesConservation 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

Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods for land‐use‐change modeling in a deforestation frontier

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Development and implementation of effective protected area management to reduce deforestation depend in part on identifying factors contributing to forest loss and areas at risk of conversion, but standard land‐use‐change modeling may not fully capture contextual factors that are not easily quantified.

Combined impacts of future climate‐driven vegetation changes and socioeconomic pressures on protected areas in Africa

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Africa's protected areas (PAs) are the last stronghold of the continent's unique biodiversity, but they appear increasingly threatened by climate change, substantial human population growth, and land‐use change. Conservation planning is challenged by uncertainty about how strongly and where these drivers will interact over the next few decades.

Ecological and economic implications of alternative metrics in biodiversity offset markets

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Understanding and minimizing environmental impacts of the Belt and Road Initiative

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 883-894, August 2019., 2019
Abstract China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) sets to create connections and build infrastructure across Eurasia, Asia, and parts of the African continent in its initial phase and is the largest infrastructure project of all time. Any infrastructure project on this scale will necessarily pass through ecofragile regions and key biodiversity areas ...

Detecting deterrence from patrol data

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 665-675, June 2019., 2019
Abstract The threat posed to protected areas by the illegal killing of wildlife is countered principally by ranger patrols that aim to detect and deter potential offenders. Deterring poaching is a fundamental conservation objective, but its achievement is difficult to identify, especially when the prime source of information comes in the form of the ...

CHINA’S LAND FINANCE AS ACTIVE MODE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY: Reality, History and Prospects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 191-220, January 2026.
Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...

ABSTRACT For over 30 years, the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua bordering Texas and New Mexico has experienced and witnessed multiple forms of violence across its rural and urban regions. Communities are besieged with cartel and gender‐based violence and the saturation of international corporations that pay less than livable wages for workers in ...

Landscape‐scale predictions of future grassland conversion to cropland or development

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Grassland conservation planning often focuses on high‐risk landscapes, but many grassland conversion models are not designed to optimize conservation planning because they lack multidimensional risk assessments and are misaligned with ecological and conservation delivery scales.
