Data, 2018 Non-native and invasive tamarisk (Tamarix spp.) and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) are common in riparian areas of the Colorado River Basin and are regarded as problematic by many land and water managers.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Structured population models are parameterized to accurately project expected population sizes, stage/state distributions and population growth rates, but they also predict the variation in outcomes among individuals, such as the variance and skewness of lifetime reproductive output (LRO) and lifespan, the probability of never reproducing, and

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Steep declines of colonial wading birds in northeastern North America's largest breeding population
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.This study analyzed 22 years of complete nest census data for colonial wading birds in New York–New Jersey Harbor, the largest breeding population in the northeastern United States. Over this period, the total wading bird population decreased by 27%, a rate exceeding average long‐term declines across North American birds.

Debunking the myth of the quintessential resource manager: Precision in actionable science
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Science is too often framed as “actionable” for managers without defining either the intended manager or use. This perspective article presents the heuristic of “who, what, when, where, why, how” to help researchers be more precise when describing their actionable science and move beyond generic framings.

Wildebeest movement responses to electric conservation fencing in the African Savannah ecosystem
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.These findings provide GPS‐based empirical evidence of how a newly constructed electric conservation fence alters migratory wildebeests, and show that effects are context‐dependent across habitat type, time of day, and distance to the boundary. While such fences can reduce human–wildlife conflict and support conservation goals, they must be carefully ...
