Boosting large-scale river connectivity restoration by planning for the presence of unrecorded barriers. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract Conservation decisions are invariably made with incomplete data on species’ distributions, habitats, and threats, but frameworks for allocating conservation investments rarely account for missing data. We examined how explicit consideration of missing data can boost return on investment in ecosystem restoration, focusing on the challenge of ...

Understanding the drivers of expert opinion when classifying species as extinct. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract The criteria as laid out by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List are the gold standard by which the extinction risk of a species is assessed and where appropriate biological extinctions are declared. However, unlike all other categories, the category of extinct lacks a quantitative framework for assigning this

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

How to prioritize species recovery after a megafire. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Due to climate change, megafires are increasingly common and have sudden, extensive impacts on many species over vast areas, leaving decision makers uncertain about how best to prioritize recovery. We devised a decision‐support framework to prioritize conservation actions to improve species outcomes immediately after a megafire.

Connectivity between countries established by landbirds and raptors migrating along the African-Eurasian flyway. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract The conservation of long‐distance migratory birds requires coordination between the multiple countries connected by the movements of these species. The recent expansion of tracking studies is shedding new light on these movements, but much of this information is fragmented and inaccessible to conservation practitioners and policy makers.

Between conflict and coexistence: Wildlife in rubber‐dominated landscapes 冲突与共存之间:橡胶林主导景观中的野生动物
Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 240-254, December 2023., 2023 Natural habitat loss forces some wildlife species to increasingly extend their habitats into farmlands. Rubber‐dominated landscapes surrounding protected areas have the potential to facilitate coexistence between people and some wildlife species if young plants are better protected and plantation management is made more wildlife‐friendly.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 133-139, September 2023., 2023 Invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) has enabled the identification and quantification of ecological interactions within trophic networks and its use in biodiversity assessment. The dung beetle iDNA currently uses live beetles. However, the effectiveness of the iDNA approach hinges on the successful detection of mammalian DNA from specimens collected via ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 59-70, June 2023., 2023 We used three robust modeling approaches and the largest empirical dataset yet collected for Sunda pangolin to investigate their habitat associations and the likelihood of spatially and temporally overlapping with humans. We found the species has an inconsistent response to disturbances across multiple scales, expected to be driven by Singapore's ...

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.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity offsets aim to counterbalance the residual impacts of development on species and ecosystems. Guidance documents explicitly recommend that biodiversity offset actions be located close to the location of impact because of higher potential for similar ecological conditions, but allowing greater spatial flexibility has been proposed ...
