Coexistence across space and time: Social‐ecological patterns within a decade of human‐coyote interactions in San Francisco

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 2158-2177, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Global change is increasing the frequency and severity of human‐wildlife interactions by pushing people and wildlife into increasingly resource‐limited shared spaces. To understand the dynamics of human‐wildlife interactions and what may constitute human‐wildlife coexistence in the Anthropocene, there is a critical need to explore the spatial,

Berries and bullets: influence of food and mortality risk on grizzly bears in British Columbia Bayas y balas: influencia de la alimentación y el riesgo de mortalidad en los osos grizzly en la Columbia Británica Des baies et des balles: influence de l'alimentation et risques de mortalité chez les ours grizzlys de la Colombie‐Britannique

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 213, Issue 1, November 2023., 2023
We developed a spatialized surface for the primary food of grizzly bears in southeast British Columbia. After using this huckleberry patch layer to model habitat selection, fitness, and density, in a bottom‐up top‐down paradigm, we found that huckleberry patches near forestry roads contribute very little to fitness and density.

Drone‐induced flight initiation distances for shorebirds in mixed‐species flocks

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1816-1827, September 2023., 2023
We conclude that (i) drone use needs to be carefully regulated to ensure roosting shorebird flocks are not approached within distances that will disturb the most sensitive species likely to be present, (ii) researchers contemplating drone surveys need to carefully evaluate the risk of disturbance, especially where there are mixed‐species flocks, and ...

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.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Climatic niche position predicts population dynamics in Mediterranean shrubs after drought

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climatic conditions closer to the species' climatic niche centroid generally resulted in higher population growth in two Mediterranean shrubs, but demographic responses differed between species and were further influenced by drought‐induced vegetation die‐off.

High Densities of Large Herbivores Rapidly Disrupt Ecosystem Integrity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Human‐driven increases in large herbivore populations are emerging as a widespread global change pressure on terrestrial ecosystems. Using the largest hectare‐scale herbivore density manipulation experiment conducted to date, we show that high deer densities rapidly disrupt ecosystem integrity across multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

The Future of AI in the GCC Post‐NPM Landscape: A Comparative Analysis of Kuwait and the UAE

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Comparative evidence of how two Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states translate artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions into post–New Public Management (post‐NPM) outcomes are scarce because most studies focus on Western democracies. To fill this gap, we examine constitutional, collective choice, and operational rules that shape AI uptake in ...

Measuring the performance of Antarctic Treaty decision‐making

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Agreements reached at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings (ATCMs) are among the primary means for addressing Antarctic conservation and environmental protection issues. However, according to contemporary scholars, Antarctic Treaty decision‐making is becoming increasingly unresponsive to the rising environmental challenges in the region.

Associations between a feral equid and the Sonoran Desert ecosystem Asociaciones Entre un Equino Salvaje y el Ecosistema del Desierto Sonorense

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 215, Issue 1, July 2024.
We documented negative associations between feral burros and several elements of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, and suggest that differences associated with this feral equid may be ecologically important and may have the potential to affect the long‐term viability of this ecosystem.
