Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 71-78, June 2023., 2023 Oaks are often removed as part of longleaf pine restoration; however, it is unclear if oak patches produce important resources for native wildlife. We studied wildlife use of the transition between longleaf pine woodlands and hardwood hammocks. We found these areas support a variety of wildlife species and future management and restoration of longleaf ...

Modeling total predation to avoid perverse outcomes from cat control in a data‐poor island ecosystem
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Data‐hungry, complex ecosystem models are often used to predict the consequences of threatened species management, including perverse outcomes. Unfortunately, this approach is impractical in the many systems that have insufficient data to parameterize ecosystem interactions or reliably calibrate or validate such models.

Unravelling the processes between phenotypic plasticity and population dynamics in migratory birds
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 5, Page 983-995, May 2022., 2022 This work highlights the critical role of the stopover stage of northward migration in the influence of migration tactics and population dynamics of migratory birds across the whole annual cycle. The authors also demonstrate the key processes linking individual migration tactics and population dynamics.

Ecological Applications, Volume 31, Issue 6, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Species loss has attracted much attention among scientists for more than half a century. However, we have little information on the trends in phylogenetic and functional changes behind the species loss although this information is always asynchronous and important for conservation and management. We measured community trends in Anatidae (ducks

Using Wikipedia to measure public interest in biodiversity and conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 412-423, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The recent growth of online big data offers opportunities for rapid and inexpensive measurement of public interest. Conservation culturomics is an emerging research area that uses online data to study human–nature relationships for conservation. Methods for conservation culturomics, though promising, are still being developed and refined.

Trends and knowledge gaps in field research investigating effects of anthropogenic noise
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 115-129, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Anthropogenic noise is a globally widespread sensory pollutant, recognized as having potentially adverse effects on function, demography, and physiology in wild animals. Human population growth and associated changes in urbanization, transportation, and resource extraction all contribute to anthropogenic noise and are predicted to increase in ...

Effects of spatial autocorrelation and sampling design on estimates of protected area effectiveness
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1452-1462, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Estimating the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in reducing deforestation is useful to support decisions on whether to invest in better management of areas already protected or to create new ones. Statistical matching is commonly used to assess this effectiveness, but spatial autocorrelation and regional differences in protection ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Conservation grounded in traditional ecological knowledge, culture and hunting
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 256-266, January 2026.Abstract For millennia, traditional hunting practices have provided a means of subsistence for numerous indigenous peoples worldwide. Not only do managed traditional hunting practices perpetuate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), but they also promote the sustainable utilization of natural resources.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 10-19, March 2025.Brief summary: Urbanization is leading to “Nature‐deficit Disorder” that threatens children's health and the sustainable development of humanity. This study implements a new solution—the Mini Botanical Garden, which integrates some of the functions of botanical gardens into community green spaces to popularize nature education in the city.
