On the Use of Maps and Models in Conservation and Resource Management (Warning: Results May Vary)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Conservation planning and management typically require accurate and spatially explicit data at scales that are relevant for conservation objectives.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Protected areas (PAs) are crucial for biodiversity conservation, but doubts are rising regarding their effectiveness in conserving habitat quality. This study used the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model to analyse the

The re-expansion and improving status of the silver-spotted skipper butterfly (Hesperia comma) in Britain: a metapopulation success story [PDF]
, 2005 Many specialist species are declining as a result of habitat loss and fragmentation, such that conservation actions typically aim to stem rates of decline rather than bring about genuine recovery.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Creating Markets for Habitat Conservation when Habitats are Heterogeneous [PDF]
, 2004 A tradable development rights (TDR) program focusing on biodiversity conservation faces a crucial problem defining which areas of habitat should be considered equivalent. Restricting the trading domain to a narrow area could boost the range of biodiversity conserved but could increase the opportunity cost of conservation.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

The influence of marine benthic habitat data on systematic conservation planning: Rottnest island as a case study [PDF]
, 2011 The need for mechanisms to protect, maintain and restore global marine biodiversity has been globally recognised. Systematic conservation planning algorithms, such as MARXAN, are now a preferred solution for designing marine protected areas (MPAs) that ...

Blocking Honeybee Preference for Neonicotinoids by Interfering With Dopamine Signaling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Honeybees (Apis mellifera) paradoxically prefer nectar containing the harmful neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. This preference is associated with transient brain dopamine elevation during proboscis extension reflex (PER) responses and active feeding, and is reduced by the dopamine receptor antagonist fluphenazine.

Ecosphere, 2016 Detailed habitat maps are critical for conservation planning, yet for many coastal habitats only coarse‐resolution maps are available. As the logistic and technological constraints of habitat mapping become increasingly tractable, habitat map comparisons

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Collective agri‐environmental schemes offer a promising approach to improve biodiversity promotion in agriculture by providing landscape connectivity. However, how to design these schemes to foster participation in the presence of farmers' heterogeneous preferences and perceived transaction costs remains an open question.
