Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 11, Page 2101-2108, November 2021., 2021 Abstract Canopy fuel load (CFL) affects wildfire intensity and is a critical input for fire behaviour models; however, measuring CFL in the field is time‐consuming and costly. Until recently, hemispherical photographs have been unable to adequately describe canopy metrics in non‐diffuse light conditions.

Ecological 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.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Six Common Mistakes in Conservation Priority Setting
Conservation Biology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 480-485, June 2013., 2013 Abstract A vast number of prioritization schemes have been developed to help conservation navigate tough decisions about the allocation of finite resources. However, the application of quantitative approaches to setting priorities in conservation frequently includes mistakes that can undermine their authors’ intention to be more rigorous and scientific
