Making Policy Evidence Traceable: A Modular Preregistration Framework for Policy Evaluation

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Preregistration is increasingly used in policy research, but its value depends on whether preregistered commitments can be clearly linked to reported analyses. Policy studies often involve multiple outcomes, evolving administrative data, consequential design and analytic choices, and adaptive implementation, making it difficult to distinguish ...

Standardizing assessment of novel methods for ecological data collection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2822-2828, October 2026.
Abstract Methodological advances in ecology enable more efficient data collection, yet researchers need to clearly and consistently report the ways in which these methods benefit their own research within the context of their specific needs. Here, we advocate for greater standardization and transparency when assessing new ecological data collection ...

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2909-2927, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying individual animals from vocalizations is an emerging research area in computational bioacoustics. This non‐invasive approach reduces reliance on physical capture and tagging for wildlife monitoring. Recent advances in this area leverage deep learning and bioacoustic foundation models adapted from species‐level classifiers. However,

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Measuring Governance or Wealth? Construct Validation of AI Readiness Indices

Policy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Many are the promises of artificial intelligence and the indices claiming to measure government readiness for it. This study provides the first construct validity investigation of the Oxford Insights Government AI Readiness Index, the Tortoise Global AI Index, and the IMF AI Preparedness Index, using a nine‐test battery and drawing on ...

Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...
