Evidence maps and evidence gaps: evidence review mapping as a method for collating and appraising evidence reviews to inform research and policy

Environmental Evidence, 2017
Evidence reviews are a key mechanism for incorporating extensive, complex and specialised evidence into policy and practice, and in guiding future research.

What are the impacts of flow regime changes on fish productivity in temperate regions? A systematic map protocol

Environmental Evidence, 2017
Background Ecosystem changes from altered flows can have multiple impacts on fish, including changes to physical habitat, habitat access, food supplies, behaviour, community composition, energy expenditure, and population dynamics.

Better evidence, better decisions, better environment: emergent themes from the first environmental evidence conference

Environmental Evidence, 2017
The first international Collaboration for Environmental Evidence (CEE) conference took place in August 2016 at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm with nearly 100 participants from 14 countries. This conference reflected and contributed to

How do natural changes in flow magnitude affect fish abundance and diversity in temperate regions? A systematic review protocol

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Natural flow regimes play important roles in maintaining the ecological integrity and diversity of aquatic ecosystems. Wildlife has adapted over time to the natural dynamics of their environment, including changes in flow regimes.

Can conservation targets for imperilled freshwater fishes and mussels be achieved by captive breeding and release programs? A systematic map protocol to determine available evidence

Environmental Evidence, 2019
Background Captive breeding programs are one of the many tools used by conservation practitioners as a means of conserving, supporting, and supplementing populations of imperilled species.

How do natural changes in flow magnitude affect fish abundance and biomass in temperate regions? A systematic review

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
We conducted a systematic review on the impacts of natural causes of variation or changes in flow magnitude (resulting from climatic variability and broad‐scale drivers such as climate‐induced change) on fish abundance and biomass in temperate regions ...

Mobilizing practitioners to support the Emergency Recovery Plan for freshwater biodiversity

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Freshwater biodiversity loss is one of the greatest environmental threats in our changing world. Although declines have been reported extensively in the literature, much less attention has been devoted to solving the freshwater biodiversity crisis ...

Standards of conduct and reporting in evidence syntheses that could inform environmental policy and management decisions

Environmental Evidence, 2022
Accurate, unbiased and concise synthesis of available evidence following clear methodology and transparent reporting is necessary to support effective environmental policy and management decisions.

The effectiveness of spawning habitat creation or enhancement for substrate-spawning temperate fish: a systematic review

Environmental Evidence, 2019
Background Habitat is the foundation for healthy and productive fisheries. For fish that require substrate for spawning, lack of appropriate spawning substrate is inherently limiting and a lack of access to suitable spawning habitat will lead to ...

Environmental evidence in action: on the science and practice of evidence synthesis and evidence-based decision-making

Environmental Evidence, 2023
In civil society we expect that policy and management decisions will be made using the best available evidence. Yet, it is widely known that there are many barriers that limit the extent to which that occurs.
