The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Steep declines of colonial wading birds in northeastern North America's largest breeding population

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study analyzed 22 years of complete nest census data for colonial wading birds in New York–New Jersey Harbor, the largest breeding population in the northeastern United States. Over this period, the total wading bird population decreased by 27%, a rate exceeding average long‐term declines across North American birds.

Debunking the myth of the quintessential resource manager: Precision in actionable science

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Science is too often framed as “actionable” for managers without defining either the intended manager or use. This perspective article presents the heuristic of “who, what, when, where, why, how” to help researchers be more precise when describing their actionable science and move beyond generic framings.

Water pollution from swine factory farms poses a threat to endangered and threatened species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Factory farms, or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), generate millions of tons of manure each year in the United States. The storage, handling, and land application of this manure leads to air, water, and climate pollution, which disproportionately impacts low‐income communities of color and poses additional public health and ...

The ichthyoplankton assemblage of the Algoa Bay nearshore region in relation to coastal zone utilization by juvenile fish

, 1986
The nearshore ichthyoplankton of Algoa Bay was sampled at six stations over a two-year period between 1980 and 1982. Larvae of 26 families of teleosts were identified with Gobiidae constituting 48.0%, Engraulidae 26.7% and Clupeidae 12.1% of all larvae ...
