The Delta as Changing Landscapes
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2016 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2016v14iss2art9What happens at one place in a landscape influences and is influenced by what happens in other places. Consequently, management and restoration that focus on individual places may fail to recognize and

Boreas, EarlyView.Numerous studies have shown that during the Quaternary there were substantial fluctuations in sea level in response to glacial–interglacial climate variability, reaching lowstand positions up to 134 m below the present sea level (b.s.l.). These fluctuations have had a strong influence on the morphology of shallow shelf seas, which preserve evidence of ...

Applied Water ScienceThe Lower Yellow River (LYR) is short of water resources. The imbalance and incoordination of water resources (WR), ecological environment (EE) and social economy (SE) have become the key constraints of regional sustainable development.

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

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

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 Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...
