Predicting rare events using training data from stratified sampling designs, with application to human‐caused wildfire prediction

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.

Evaluation et cartographie du risque d'incendie de forêt - Vers une application sur le massif des Maures (sud-est de la France) à l'échelle des PPR

Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 1998
En région méditerranéenne française, 10 000 à 60 000 ha d'espaces naturels sont parcourus annuellement par le feu. Il en résulte une menace permanente pour la sécurité des biens et des personnes ainsi que pour la préservation du patrimoine naturel.

Comparing carbon offsets and livelihood benefits in a long‐term reforestation project: Agroforestry versus native timber versus enrichment planting

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 ...

The tensions of crowdsourcing disaster response in disaster‐specific Facebook groups after the Camp Fire 营地火灾后灾害专用脸书群组中出现的众包复原力组织紧张关系 Las tensiones de la resiliencia del crowdsourcing en grupos de facebook específicos para desastres después del incendio del campamento

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 ...

Social valuation of biodiversity relative to other types of assets at risk in wildfire

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Environmental crises, such as wildfires, can cause major losses of human life, infrastructure, biodiversity, and cultural values. In many such situations, incident controllers must make fateful choices about what to protect—and hence what to abandon.

Experimentally testing animal responses to prescribed fire size and severity

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Deserts are often highly biodiverse and provide important habitats for many threatened species. Fire is a dominant disturbance in deserts, and prescribed burning is increasingly being used by conservation managers and Indigenous peoples to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change, invasive plants, and land‐use change. The size, severity,
