Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.

Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Passive acoustic monitoring for the estimation of density of the singing lemur (Indri indri)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) was applied to estimate the density of indri (Indri indri) in the Maromizaha tropical forest by adapting a density‐estimation framework originally developed for marine environments. Using a network of autonomous recorders and GLMMs incorporating directional and environmental covariates, we estimated detection ...

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

Host Detection by Cuckoo Bumblebees: Choice Experiments Reveal Non‐Visual Cues Support Host Detection, but Accuracy Is Low

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.

Microbiome‐mediated immunity: Limited support from the gazelle dung beetle

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Digitonthophagus gazella rely on a maternally inherited microbiome passed across generations via a maternal faecal pellet called the pedestal. We experimentally manipulated the presence of the pedestal, providing it to some individuals while withholding it from others to determine how pedestal microbiota may affect beetle immune potential.

Urban Bats: City Lovers or Refugees?

Ethology, EarlyView.
Hypothetical relationship between urbanisation intensity and bat species population persistence framed through a species refuge concept. Moderately urbanised landscapes may function as temporal refuge zones where habitat heterogeneity and establishment suitability allow some bat species to colonise and persist.

Living With Factor VII Deficiency—A Mixed Methods Study

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Factor VII deficiency (FVIID) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, resulting in potentially unpredictable and life‐threatening bleeding. The prevalence of symptomatic patients is 1 in 300,000. Treatment is mostly given following bleeding, but those with the lowest levels may be offered prophylaxis.
