Integrating habitat-masked range maps with quantifications of prevalence to estimate area of occupancy in IUCN assessments. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract Estimates of species geographic ranges constitute critical input for biodiversity assessments, including those for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Area of occupancy (AOO) is one metric that IUCN uses to quantify a species’ range, but data limitations typically lead to either under ...

A 19th Century Stormwrecked Black-Capped Petrel From Vermont Offers Insight Into Historical Vagrancy Processes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSmall historical museum collections can provide unexpected data points in telling the story of how climate change has impacted species. We report a (re)discovered Black‐capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata) from the 19th‐century Middlebury College Vertebrate Natural History collection and confirmed its late 1800s Vermont origin through a combination of ...

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1215-1232, November 2023., 2023 In Puerto Rico, a tropical archipelago in a region characterized by complex socio‐economic and environmental change, ecological knowledge of the local insect fauna is scarce. Greater emphasis on ecological monitoring of model insect groups like Lepidoptera could provide insight into the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity and contribute ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m. The

Application of a deep learning image classifier for identification of Amazonian fishes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 To address the growing prevalence of large ecological datasets combined with a need for rapid species identification tools, we describe a novel application of a computer vision model, which is built to rapidly identify Amazonian fishes from captured image data.

Occupancy–detection models with museum specimen data: Promise and pitfalls
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 402-414, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Historical museum records provide potentially useful data for identifying drivers of change in species occupancy. However, because museum records are typically obtained via many collection methods, methodological developments are needed to enable robust inferences.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 389-400, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Feeding specialisations are known to play an important role in the ecology and evolution of many organisms. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on the data of the gut content of eight species of the genus Limia (family Poeciliidae) to explore the potential role of feeding ecology in the radiation of this genus in the ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 240, Issue 3, Page 447-465, March 2022., 2022 The hands of adult males of many dendrobatid poison frogs and their relatives possess one or two of four types of specialized mucous glands that presumably secrete pheromones delivered to females during cephalic amplexus. The discovery of these glands adds a new dimension to studies of poison frog reproductive biology, which have investigated acoustic,

A conservation roadmap for the subterranean biome
Conservation Letters, Volume 14, Issue 5, September/October 2021., 2021 Abstract The 15th UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (COP15) will be held in Kunming, China in October 2021. Historically, CBDs and other multilateral treaties have either alluded to or entirely overlooked the subterranean biome. A multilateral effort to robustly examine, monitor, and incorporate the subterranean biome into future conservation
