An analysis of the linked decisions in the confiscation of illegally traded turtles
Increased enforcement of laws governing the international trade of freshwater turtles is increasing the numbers of confiscated turtles. Decision makers are thus increasingly faced with a complex decision, involving multiple linked agencies, regarding the disposition of turtles of unknown origin and disease status, which creates uncertainty about the ...

Conservation decisions are sometimes delayed due to pervasive uncertainty and the perception that more information is needed before acting, but postponing decisions can be costly. We propose that using constructed value of information within an iterative structured decision‐making process can help identify key uncertainties that can subsequently be ...

ABSTRACT Aim Many amphibians are experiencing declines, which are exacerbated for populations near range edges. To inform conservation strategies, we sampled sites of Blanchard's Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi) at the northern periphery of their range to determine if modern declines are associated with genetic factors, delineate management units, and ...

Aster yellows phytoplasma (AYp) infection alters host plant preference in aster leafhoppers (Macrosteles quadrilineatus), with infected vectors showing a significant preference for AYp‐infected canola (Brassica napus) early in the infection period. However, this preference fades as infection progresses. Despite early attraction, B.

Domestication‐Admixed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Establish a Productive Population in the Wild
We document colonisation of a river by highly (average 37%) domestication‐admixed salmon using genomic and phenotypic data. The resulting population now displays freshwater and marine productivity within ranges observed in wild populations. Our data demonstrate that domestication‐admixed individuals can rapidly establish populations in the wild, likely
