Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Key conditions for success of partnerships for conservation of threatened species and threatened ecological communities

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In conservation practice, multi‐stakeholder partnerships that leverage the skills and resources of partner organizations are commonly initiated to achieve recovery outcomes. From analysis of 44 practitioner interviews, we present the key ingredients for successful partnerships that are both functional and effective in their ability to achieve ...

Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection‐nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical modeling extensions have become mainstays of quantitative ecology, and estimating occupancy rates has become one of the most common applications of ...

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Does Microplastic Ingestion Affect Cognition and Brain Gene Expression in Zebrafish, Danio rerio?

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to diets containing microplastics from synthetic or biodegradable polymers. The synthetic polymer led to a significant reduction in brain activity, while visual and spatial learning as well as cognitive flexibility remained unaffected.

The Need for Shifting Baselines to Guide Fisheries and Ocean Activities From Days to Decades

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With novel ocean conditions rapidly appearing as the result of climate change, basing decisions about fisheries and other ocean activities on historical conditions is no longer tenable. There is instead a widespread need for shifting ecological baselines to more effectively guide decisions into the future.
