Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) is the most abundant fish in the East China Sea (ECS) and an important fishery resource throughout its life stages. Using samples collected along the ECS shelf‐break in April over a 22‐year period (2001–2022), we examined the horizontal distribution and interannual variability of larval density (mean ...
