Trait-based indicators of bird species sensitivity to habitat loss are effective within but not across datasets. [PDF]
Species' traits have been widely championed as the key to predicting which species are most threatened by habitat loss, yet previous work has failed to detect trends that are consistent enough to guide large-scale conservation and management.

A social-ecological approach to conservation planning: embedding social considerations [PDF]
Many conservation plans remain unimplemented, in part because of insufficient consideration of the social processes that influence conservation decisions. Complementing social considerations with an integrated understanding of the ecology of a region can
