Prioritizing conservation in sub-Saharan African lakes based on freshwater biodiversity and algal bloom metrics. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Geospatial data and web based tools for managing irrigation infrastructure expansion projects
World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 388-403, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Improving irrigation infrastructure is important for sustaining food security in developing countries like India. The irrigation potential of a system is estimated at the planning phase using conventional approaches. A mismatch in the irrigation potential planned to be created and the land suitable for cultivation can lead to a gap in the ...

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 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval dispersal connectivity is typically integrated into spatial conservation decisions at regional or national scales, but implementing agencies struggle with translating these methods to local scales. We used larval dispersal connectivity at regional (hundreds of kilometers) and local (tens of kilometers) scales to aid in design of ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 52-59, December 2022., 2022 Recent advances in remote sensing technology and computing processing power have made remote sensing data increasingly useful for assessing human threats within protected areas across large scales. However, such assessments are restricted to human threats and activities that can be captured remotely. Consequently, other key threats, such as hunting and

Conservation 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.

The Photogrammetric Record, Volume 37, Issue 180, Page 385-409, December 2022., 2022 Among all stereo matching methods End‐to‐End (E2E) learning methods show that they can achieve the lowest and most frequent minimum errors, however, their performance drastically changes across different test‐sites, which indicates poor generalisation capabilities.

Habitat‐based biodiversity assessment for ecosystem accounting in the Murray–Darling Basin
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Understanding how biodiversity is changing over space and time is crucial for well‐informed decisions that help retain Earth's biological heritage over the long term. Tracking changes in biodiversity through ecosystem accounting provides this important information in a systematic way and readily enables linking to other relevant environmental ...

Data justice and biodiversity conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Increases in data availability coupled with enhanced computational capacities are revolutionizing conservation. But in the excitement over the opportunities afforded by new data, there has been less discussion of the justice implications of data used in conservation, that is, how people and environments are represented through data, the ...

Near‐term ecological forecasting for dynamic aeroconservation of migratory birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1777-1786, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Near‐term ecological forecasting has the potential to mitigate negative impacts of human modifications on wildlife by directing efficient action through relevant and timely predictions. We used the U.S. avian migration system to highlight ecological forecasting applications for aeroconservation.
