CheckEM: An open‐source toolkit for standardising, cleaning and visualising stereo‐video fish survey data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective research and monitoring requires accurate, interoperable and representative data. Stereo‐video based methods are commonly used to survey fish and are rapidly expanding globally due to their cost‐effectiveness, ability to provide accurate body size measurements, non‐destructive approach and capacity to create permanent data records ...

Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures: Climate Change, Agrarian Dynamics, and Knowledge Politics in Southeast Asian Socioecological Transformations

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region.

Indigenous‐Led Adaptation to Complex Climate Risks in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific Island peoples have long histories of adapting to environmental changes, but recent climate change is now driving complex risks that unfold within rapidly shifting societal and environmental contexts. This study investigates how remote Indigenous communities in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, experience and want to respond to complex ...

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.
