Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Duck Tales: Spatio‐temporal dynamics of habitat use and prey relationships of a diving duck and its implication for conservation management

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions

Conservation planning in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica): A comparative analysis of decision‐support tools

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We compare simulated annealing (SA, Marxan) and integer linear programming (ILP, prioritizr) to evaluate their performance in developing spatial conservation priorities for the proposed Weddell Sea Marine Protected Area Phase 1. While both approaches identify largely overlapping priority areas, ILP consistently produces more compact and cost‐efficient ...

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences
