Moving towards better risk assessment for invertebrate conservation

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change threatens a vast number of species with severe population declines or even extinction. The threat status of an organism is often designated based on geographic range, population size, or declines in either. However, invertebrates, which comprise the bulk of animal diversity, are conspicuously absent from global frameworks that assess ...

Seascape configuration determines spatial patterns of seabird‐vectored nutrient enrichment to coral reefs

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Of all shapes and sizes: a theoretical framework for animal‐mediated terrestrial heterogeneity across scales

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

The Quest for Coherence in Climate Actions: The Case for Québec's Climate Strategy

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies on climate policy coherence often focus on policy components as the essential element of success by examining their objectives, instruments, and implementation practices. However, while some studies have demonstrated that it is essential to evaluate the programs or actions that translate policies into success, few have focused ...
