The importance of integrating herbarium records into conservation plans: a case study on Honduran ferns and lycophytes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

They're Out There, You Know: Sea Turtle Sightings and Strandings in Canadian Pacific Waters

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Pacific sea turtle populations primarily inhabit subtropical and tropical waters, making sightings at the edge of their range in colder high‐latitude regions of the Canadian Pacific particularly uncommon and even rare. This paper presents a comprehensive

Using accelerometers for tracking loggerhead and green sea turtle behaviour

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry
Abstract Background Understanding animal behaviour is critical for the design of effective conservation and management strategies. Animal-borne tri-axial accelerometers constitute a type of biologging device which have the potential to provide continuous high-resolution behavioural data.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

A UAV‐based deep learning pipeline for intertidal macrobenthos monitoring: Behavioral and age classification in Tachypleus tridentatus

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The endangered tri‐spine horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus), a “living fossil” crucial to coastal ecology and biomedical research, is experiencing severe population declines. Effective conservation requires efficient monitoring, which traditional methods cannot deliver at scale. We develop an integrated UAV deep learning framework tailored to this

Diet of oceanic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the central North Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Diet analysis of 52 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) collected as bycatch from 1990 to 1992 in the high-seas driftnet fishery operating between lat. 29.5°N and 43°N and between long.

Identity Play: Middle School Youths' Provisional Self‐Making in Horizon‐Expanding STEM Spaces

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces identity play as an analytic construct for science education to explore improvisational dimensions of middle school students' STEM identity development in multiple out‐of‐school learning experiences focused on environmental problem‐solving.

What Matters to Us?: Contemplating a Holistic Indigenous Identity Framework Through Four Framing Questions

open access: yesNew Directions for Student Services, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a conceptual framework for Indigenous college student identity development, addressing the limitations of mainstream student development theories rooted in Western, Eurocentric worldviews. Drawing on Tribal Critical Race Theory and relationality, we propose four guiding questions—Where are we? Who are we?
