A low‐cost, long‐running, open‐source stereo camera for tracking aquatic species and their behaviours

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 2549-2556, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Ecologists are now widely utilising video data to quantify the behaviours and interactions of animals in the wild. This process can be facilitated by collecting videos in stereo, which can provide information about animals' positions, movements and behaviours in three‐dimensions (3D).

Ecological relevance of non‐perennial rivers for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic communities

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. We assessed the conservation value of nonperennial rivers and streams (NPRS) in

Small instream infrastructure: Comparative methods and evidence of environmental and ecological responses

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2020., 2020
We reviewed evidence on environmental and ecological responses to dams, weirs, and culverts, finding that most studies (78% of 87) evaluated dams or weirs, and that more than half of all evaluations reported negative environmental or ecological responses to the three types of infrastructure. Abstract 1.

Complex and nonlinear climate‐driven changes in freshwater insect communities over 42 years

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1241-1251, October 2020., 2020
Abstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis becomes evident in the widely observed decline in abundance and diversity of species, profound changes in community structure, and shifts in species’ phenology. Insects are among the most affected groups, with documented decreases in abundance up to 76% in the last 25–30 years in some terrestrial ecosystems ...

Conservation and management implications of the effects of wildfire on a threatened Eastern Iberian Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus witherbyi) population

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 196-211, January 2025.
Wetland degradation worldwide has led to fragmentation and isolation of diminished populations that are now more vulnerable to disturbance. Wildfires affecting wetlands can have major impacts on vegetation structure and associated waterbird communities, but rapid recovery of the initial state of vegetation cover after fire due to fast emergent ...

Habitat Changes at the Local Scale Have Major Impacts on Waterfowl Populations Across a Migratory Flyway

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.
Migratory waterbirds are declining worldwide due to habitat loss, but not much is known about how the loss of specific wetlands can affect waterbird populations at the biogeographical scale. To investigate that, we used the Guadalquivir Marshes (SW Spain) as a case study and combined 38 years of waterfowl winter counts with environmental and remote ...

Modeling the risk of aquatic species invasion spread through boater movements and river connections

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the greatest threats to the functioning of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Once an invasive species has been introduced to a new region, many governments develop management strategies to reduce further spread.

Waterscapes meet socio‐ecological models: A relational framework to examine water insecurity and human health and well‐being

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1036-1047, June 2024.
Abstract Water insecurity, the inability to benefit from affordable, adequate, reliable and safe water, is one of the greatest contemporary threats facing humans. While ‘water insecurity’, as a concept, is globally recognized and serves an essential function in policymaking, it does not capture the multiple, relational connections between Indigenous ...

Meta‐analysis contrasting freshwater biodiversity in forests and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract The expansion of oil palm plantations has led to land‐use change and deforestation in the tropics, which has affected biodiversity. Although the impacts of the crop on terrestrial biodiversity have been extensively reviewed, its effects on freshwater biodiversity remain relatively unexplored.
