Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Online Risk Behaviours Among Adolescents: Identifying Areas of Digital Vulnerability
ABSTRACT As a period during which they undergo important physical, emotional and social changes, adolescence is of great importance for minors. In addition, adolescence is an initial stage in terms of children's use of their own mobile devices and their first access to the internet and social networks, an activity that becomes a generalised habit in ...

Gender responsiveness has emerged as a prominent concept in social protection policy, increasingly shaping donor agendas and national strategies. Yet despite widespread usage, we lack well‐defined analytical frameworks that allow for gender‐responsiveness assessments of entire national social protection systems.

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Governance of Climate‐Induced Relocation in the US: An Exploration of Institutional Complexity
ABSTRACT Climate change has and will continue to have a profound effect on both individuals and the communities in which they reside. A pressing question is how communities forced to confront climate‐induced catastrophe—including both rapid and slow‐onset hazards—undertake the decision of how and when to relocate, particularly given the multiple scales

ABSTRACT This paper provides a retrospective on California's oversight of 1,3‐dichloropropene (1,3‐D). It utilizes archival documents, including internal memos, emails, and risk assessments, to demonstrate how the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation consistently expanded allowable 1,3‐D use while presenting each policy change as scientifically ...

This study evaluates the climatic and anthropogenic factors driving the habitat suitability of the invasive Cuban knight anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida and its potential impact on three threatened invertebrate species through habitat overlap. Using species distribution models (SDMs), we found that urbanization strongly influences the anole's ...

Environmental DNA is a powerful tool for simultaneous detection of rare species and their pathogens. We confirmed the presence of Atelopus at multiple sampling locations and found that the concentration of the amphibian pathogen Bd in eDNA samples was correlated with stream characteristics and the pathogen load of the amphibian community.
