Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Scientific assessments play a critical role in synthesizing evidence to support evidence‐based decision‐making in many sectors and topics. For climate change, large‐scale assessments like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United States (U.S.) National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports help many different users—from ...

Highly Mobile Seabirds Reveal Areas of Conservation Importance Across the Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Countries have committed to expanding the marine protected area (MPA) network to 30% of the world's ocean by 2030, more than tripling current coverage, and focusing on areas important for biodiversity. For such expansion to translate into effective conservation of marine biodiversity, it must rely on the best available knowledge.

Using Integrated Species Distribution Models to Improve Range Size Metrics for IUCN Red List Assessments

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Estimates of a species' Area of Occupancy (AOO) and Extent of Occurrence (EOO) are key metrics for Red List assessments. Presence‐only species distribution models (SDMs) with arbitrary thresholding are commonly used for this task even when data could support more rigorous analyses. We evaluate the advantages of integrated SDMs (iSDMs) over

Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...
