State‐and‐transition models as a contextual framework for leading indicators of restoration trajectories

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract New incentives and instruments for financing ecosystem restoration require frameworks that support planning, monitoring and reporting, including the identification and use of leading indicators. Leading indicators have the potential to predict the outcomes of restoration interventions before full recovery has occurred.

Ecosystem valuation: Concept, criteria and terminology

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Furlaud et al. (2025) discussed how to measure ‘ecosystem condition’. Here, we argue that the term ‘ecosystem valuation’ should be preferred. ‘Valuation’ signals clearly that a social or political value judgement is being made about which ecosystem states to rate most highly. Furlaud et al.

The Antimicrobial Activity of Thyme, Sweet Marjoram, Savory and Eucalyptus oils on Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Plants, 2009
Background: The presence of pathogenic microorganisms in aviculture threatens the health of fowl and humans. Thyme (Zataria multiflora Boiss), sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana), savory (Satureja hortensis) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globules) are ...

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Density dependence and habitat selection affect overwintering abundance of monarch butterflies at regional and site scales in California

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We analyzed annual overwintering counts in California to understand monarch population fluctuations. Climate and density‐dependent factors explain 64% of annual variability across groves, with density dependence being the primary driver. Within groves, tree characteristics and microclimate significantly influence monarch habitat selection, with ...
