Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests
American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland
Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 234-269, October 2025.ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...

Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2025.Abstract Response‐based sampling is often used in modelling rare events from large, imbalanced data for efficiency. When modelling the event with logistic regression, the sampling design may be adjusted for using sampling weights or an offset. We propose a stratified sampling design for modelling rare events with large data which improves on previous ...

Social science integration at state and federal fish and wildlife organizations in the United States
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract Increasingly, conservation professionals and scholars recognize the need for more holistic integration of social science in fish and wildlife management. This call is often framed around the complexity of 21st century conservation challenges and changing societal values toward fish and wildlife and its management.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 5, Issue 3, July–September 2024.Looking at different reforestation methods over 14 years in an Emberá Indigenous community in Panama we found that plots with native timber mixtures and monocultures stored three times more carbon than those with agroforestry or natural regrowth. Natural regrowth was less valued by participants due to the abundance of pioneer species, but it helped ...

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 261-283, June 2024.Abstract Disaster‐specific Facebook groups (DSFGs) are Facebook groups devoted to a specific disaster or set of disasters. I argue DSFGs offer opportunities for disaster response and resilience organizing that can mitigate the limitations of institutionalized disaster response and illustrate the benefits and detriments of the use of DSFGs by survivors ...
