Intrapopulational variation in head shape correlates with soil structure heterogeneity in a head‐first burrowing amphisbaenian, Trogonophis wiegmanni

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 2, Page 130-139, June 2025.
Morphological traits evolve to solve ecological requirements. Amphisbaenians are fossorial reptiles with different snout shapes for burrowing head‐first underground, but how these head shapes have originated is little known. Here, using 2D geometric morphometrics, we found that individual Trogonophis wiegmanni amphisbaenians inside the same population ...

Evaluating models of expert judgment to inform assessment of ecosystem viability and collapse

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Expert judgment underpins assessment of threatened ecosystems. However, experts are often narrowly defined, and variability in their judgments may be substantial. Models built from structured elicitation with large diverse expert panels can contribute to more consistent and transparent decision‐making.

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 6, Page 2377-2392, March 2025.
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing.

Poor compliance and exemptions facilitate ongoing deforestation

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Many nations are struggling to reduce deforestation, despite having extensive environmental protection laws in place and commitments to international agreements that address the biodiversity and climate crises. We developed a novel framework to quantify the extent to which contemporary deforestation is being captured under national and ...

Phylogenetic conservatism in the relationship between functional and demographic characteristics in Amazon tree taxa

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 181-198, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Leaf and wood functional traits of trees are related to growth, reproduction, and survival, but the degree of phylogenetic conservatism in these relationships is largely unknown.

Redesigning mineral regimes to strengthen the environmental rule of law: A case study on lithium in brines

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 633-646, November 2024.
Abstract This article aims to contribute to aligning the legal regimes for energy transition minerals with sustainability and justice. The focus of the article is on effectively embedding the human right to a healthy environment into the design of these regimes.

sabinaNSDM: An R package for spatially nested hierarchical species distribution modelling

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1796-1803, October 2024.
Abstract Species distribution models have evolved to combine species‐environment interactions across multiple scales. Spatially nested hierarchical models (NSDMs) offer a promising avenue by integrating datasets and predictive models from broad to fine scales. But a user‐friendly tool to execute these models remains an important ongoing challenge.

Salamander loss alters montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure through top‐down effects

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 722-735, October 2024.
Salamanders are seriously declining worldwide and, despite being important predators in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, their effects on freshwater ecosystems are virtually unknown. We demonstrated that salamander loss could alter montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure by reducing periphyton accrual, altering algal communities ...
