Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

How a Traveling Exhibition on Wasps Altered Public Perceptions

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Media portrays a caricature of the “evil” wasp (a flying insect), perpetuating fears developed at a young age or from individual negative experiences. Because wasps are critically important to nature and our agriculture, it is important to provide some form of education to lessen this fear.

Navigating Inter‐Municipal Collaboration Challenges: 'In‐Tensions' in Shared Service Center and Joint Venture Arrangements

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Municipal collaborations such as shared service centers and joint ventures are widely promoted as ways to strengthen local service capacity. Yet they often develop in uneven and sometimes unstable ways. This paper examines why arrangements built on similar institutional promises take such different trajectories in practice.
