Scientific contributions of citizen science applied to rare or threatened animals

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science is filling important monitoring gaps and thus contributing to the conservation of rare or threatened animals. However, most researchers have used peer‐reviewed publications to evaluate citizen science contributions. We quantified a larger spectrum of citizen science's contributions to the monitoring of rare or threatened ...

Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 2329-2337, November 2022., 2022
This paper demonstrates that amphibian loss increases periphyton biomass, causes shifts in algal assemblages and reduces invertebrate growth. It highlights the importance of protecting amphibians in order to maintain normal stream ecosystem functioning, especially in nonforested streams where periphyton in the main energy resource.

Modeling total predation to avoid perverse outcomes from cat control in a data‐poor island ecosystem

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Data‐hungry, complex ecosystem models are often used to predict the consequences of threatened species management, including perverse outcomes. Unfortunately, this approach is impractical in the many systems that have insufficient data to parameterize ecosystem interactions or reliably calibrate or validate such models.

Consensus and controversy in the discipline of invasion science

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Approaches, values, and perceptions in invasion science are highly dynamic, and like in other disciplines, views among different people can diverge. This has led to debate in the field specifically surrounding the core themes of values, management, impacts, and terminology.

A field experiment characterizing variable detection rates during plant surveys

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Surveys aimed at finding threatened and invasive species can be challenging due to individual rarity and low and variable individual detection rates. Detection rate in plant surveys typically varies due to differences among observers, among the individual plants being surveyed (targets), and across background environments.

Evaluating unintended consequences of intentional species introductions and eradications for improved conservation management

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Increasingly intensive strategies to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function are being deployed in response to global anthropogenic threats, including intentionally introducing and eradicating species via assisted migration, rewilding, biological control, invasive species eradications, and gene drives. These actions are highly contentious
