A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the

Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire
Ibis, EarlyView.Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale
