A Transferable Individual‐Based Framework for Quantifying Demographic Structure and Spatial Organization in Colonial Species Using UAV Imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Adélie penguins gather in colonies as standing or prone adults, individual chicks, and chick crèches. From drone images, we distinguish adults and chicks by their plumage, identify adult postures by body shape, and estimate the size of chick groups from the area they occupy. We map these groups and measure how closely penguins live together.

Integrated assessment of meteorological drought impacts on terrestrial water storage and vegetation dynamics in East Africa

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Water is essential for life, and effective hydrological management is crucial for economic stability and quality of life. Poor water resource governance can lead to scarcity, displacement, or even fatal consequences. Hydrological conditions in East Africa are influenced by drivers such as demographic expansion, industrialization, droughts, and

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Tracking Post‐Consumer Packaging Plastics With Global Positioning Systems: Pilot Study in Malaysia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landfilling and the mismanagement of packaging plastic waste pose significant challenges in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. There is an empirical gap in plastic waste management data, which is largely handled by informal players despite established municipal solid waste collection systems.

Detecting changes in distribution and abundance using harvest data in two sympatric bear species in Southeast Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Monitoring wildlife populations in remote landscapes is challenging due to the difficulties of conducting field surveys. However, harvest data, which are routinely collected by management agencies, offer valuable insights into population trends. Brown bear Ursus arctosand American black bear U.

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

From landscapes to lesions: Pathology's role in wildlife mortality investigations and conservation health

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Wildlife mortality investigations are important toward understanding health threats to wildlife and management considerations. The who, what, why and how are critical pieces of these investigations. Wildlife pathologists play a central role in this process in elucidating causes and contributors to mortality. Abstract To effectively recognize and manage
