Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract To evaluate conservation interventions, it is necessary to obtain reliable population trends for short (<10 years) time scales. Telemetry can be used to estimate short‐term survival rates and is a common tool for assessing population trends, but it has limitations and can be biased toward specific behavioral traits of tagged individuals ...

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 465-472, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Could a trade agreement strengthen the enforcement of domestic environmental laws? This article explores this question in the context of the US–Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA). The article examines, in particular, the potential role of the Secretariat for Submissions on Environmental Enforcement Matters (SEEM) of the TPA.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Fisheries bycatch is a critical threat to sea turtle populations worldwide, particularly because turtles are vulnerable to multiple gear types. The Canary Current is an intensely fished region, yet there has been no demographic assessment integrating bycatch and population management information of the globally significant Cabo Verde ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 596-613, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystems, and host a wide range of taxonomic diversity in a complex spatial community structure. Existing coral reef survey methods struggle to accurately capture the taxonomic detail within the complex spatial structure of benthic communities.

Experimental validation of specialized questioning techniques in conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Conservation increasingly relies on social science tools to understand human behavior. Specialized questioning techniques (SQTs) are a suite of methods designed to reduce bias in social surveys and are widely used to collect data on sensitive topics, including compliance with conservation rules.

MASTREE+: Time‐series of plant reproductive effort from six continents
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 3066-3082, May 2022., 2022 MASTREE+ is an open‐access data set that collates reproductive time‐series data from across the globe. It includes 73,828 georeferenced observations of annual reproduction (e.g. seed and fruit counts) in perennial plant populations, consisting of 5,971 population‐level time‐series from 974 species.

Complex landscapes stabilize farm bird communities and their expected ecosystem services
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 927-941, April 2022., 2022 Our results suggest that farmers can effectively manage their farms to harness ecosystem services from birds through farm diversification. Disservices provided by birds, however, appear to be most negatively impacted by landscape‐level complexity. Thus, greater incentives for farmers to increase semi‐natural cover at the landscape scale are likely ...

Joining forces toward proactive elephant and rhinoceros conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Proactive approaches that anticipate the long‐term effects of current and future conservation threats could increase the effectiveness and efficiency of biodiversity conservation. However, such approaches can be obstructed by a lack of knowledge of habitat requirements for wildlife.

Journal of Field Ornithology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 388-401, December 2021., 2021 Abstract The value of saline lakes and associated wetlands as habitats in the xeric Great Basin is dependent on having water of sufficient quantity and quality to support wetland‐dependent birds. To inform conservation and management of these habitats, models are needed to link birds and hydrological changes due to climate and human water use.

Evaluating institutional fit for the conservation of threatened species
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1437-1450, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Recovery and conservation of threatened species require adequate institutional responses. We tested an approach to systematically identify and measure how an institutional framework acknowledges threats and required responses for the recovery of endangered species.
