Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Navigating multiple objectives, partners, and jurisdictions: Decision analysis for range‐wide conservation planning for an at‐risk species

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We describe a collaborative, multi‐partner, multi‐objective structured decision making process to develop a range‐wide conservation planning framework to recover an at‐risk species—the gopher frog. The process identified optimal, site‐specific management strategies that balanced population outcomes and cost, depending on the weight decision makers ...

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...
