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 ...

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 149-159, September 2026.Migratory shorebirds traveling the East Asian–Australasian Flyway face systemic policy fragmentation and habitat disconnection between China (coordination challenges and renewable energy conflicts) and Australia (federal governance fragmentation). This study proposes a transboundary conservation framework to fill this gap.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.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.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 86-103, March 2026.Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...
