Challenges of Monitoring Endangered Bryde's Whales During a Period of Rapid Environmental Change
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Estimating population size is challenging for rare and elusive species that occur at low densities and are difficult to detect during sampling. We estimated the abundance of a Nationally critical whale species—Aotearoa New Zealand Bryde's whales—using a custom‐formulated POPAN model which incorporated transience to account for their complex residency ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Land surface phenology for the characterization of Mediterranean permanent grasslands
Precision AgricultureThe provision of ecosystem services from Mediterranean permanent grasslands is threatened due to shifting management practices and environmental pressures. This observational study tested the hypothesis that Land Surface Phenology (LSP) parameters from high-resolution satellite data can characterize various permanent grasslands to support conservation ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,

A specific PFT and sub-canopy structure for simulating oil palm in the community land model (CLM-Palm) [PDF]
, 2015 Towards an effort to quantify the effects of rainforests to oil palm conversion on land-atmosphere carbon, water and energy fluxes, a specific plant functional type (PFT) and sub-canopy structure are developed for simulating oil palm within the Community
