geohabnet: An R package for mapping habitat connectivity for biosecurity and conservation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat connectivity is critical for the conservation of endangered and endemic species, and conversely, it can hinder efforts to contain the spread of harmful biological agents. Here, we introduce geohabnet: a general, spatially explicit, network‐based R package for evaluating, estimating and mapping landscape connectivity from continuous ...

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying individual animals from vocalizations is an emerging research area in computational bioacoustics. This non‐invasive approach reduces reliance on physical capture and tagging for wildlife monitoring. Recent advances in this area leverage deep learning and bioacoustic foundation models adapted from species‐level classifiers. However,

Spite in litigation

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper studies how litigation and settlement behaviour is affected by agents motivated by spiteful preferences under the American fee‐shifting rule compared to the English one. We conduct an experiment and find that litigation expenditures are overall higher under the English rule compared to the American rule—even for low‐merit cases ...

Credibility is trade policy

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Export participation is a forward‐looking decision that involves large up‐front investments with back‐loaded returns. This implies that trade responds to expected future policy as well as current policy. The same observed policy change can trigger a wide range of responses depending on how transitory or persistent that change is expected to be,

Is local all that matters?: An experiment on Canadian consumers’ preferences for produce

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Controlled environment agriculture is important in regions where traditional farming is constrained by short growing seasons. Of particular relevance, vertical farming is an innovative agricultural technology that enables year‐round production in Canada. However, Canadian consumers’ preferences for vertically farmed products remain a knowledge

Incentives and motivational crowding to address chronic wasting disease: An experiment with Alberta hunters

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Behavioral interventions, for example, through the use of incentives and information, are widely used by policymakers to induce welfare‐improving behavior. When these interventions are used in specific contexts such as environmental conservation, individual knowledge, experience, and attitudes can lead to motivational crowding and may limit ...

Comprehensive and representative conservation planning for biodiversity of ice‐free Antarctica

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antarctica is designated as a natural reserve devoted to peace and science, with Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) serving as the primary instrument for area‐based biodiversity protection. However, the existing ASPA network lacks the comprehensiveness and representativeness required under Annex V, Article 3(2), of the Madrid Protocol.
