A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Equity considerations in the proposed wildlife protocol to the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildlife trafficking poses a critical threat to global biodiversity, contributes to organized crime, and has disproportionate impacts on underserved and Indigenous communities. Although international legal instruments, such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and institutional collaborations,

A practical, adaptive compliance management framework for improving marine protected area effectiveness

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noncompliance regularly undermines the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) worldwide. The reasons for and drivers of noncompliance depend on the context (e.g., insufficient funding, capacity, neocolonialism, historical conflict), but the prevalent solution offered to curtail noncompliance tends to be more or better enforcement.

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Economic benefits of biodiversity corridors: A cross‐sectional study of households in the Central Annamite Landscape, Vietnam

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity corridors aim to reconnect fragmented habitats and protected areas, yet their impact on landowners varies and requires assessment. In the Central Annamite Landscape, Vietnam, initiatives like Payment for Forest Environment Services (PFES) for watershed protection, forest restoration, and non‐timber forest product development ...
