A framework for investigating fish population density responses to habitat fragmentation
Oikos, EarlyView.Globally, fish populations that rely on rivers are being fragmented by in‐stream barriers, but it is unclear how pervasive any negative population responses to fragmentation are. We developed a modeling framework for estimating density responses of fishes upstream and downstream of in‐stream barriers and applied it to learn how low‐head dams have ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Coupled observation‐operator approximations in outer‐loop coupling data assimilation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We present a methodology for coupled variational data assimilation that allows the effect of coupled observation operators whilst maintaining separate minimisations across model components. This allows us to constrain the atmosphere, ocean, and sea‐ice components of our coupled model directly from satellite radiances. We illustrate the system in action

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...
