Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Standardizing assessment of novel methods for ecological data collection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Methodological advances in ecology enable more efficient data collection, yet researchers need to clearly and consistently report the ways in which these methods benefit their own research within the context of their specific needs. Here, we advocate for greater standardization and transparency when assessing new ecological data collection ...

Individual bird identification by modelling temporal structure in bioacoustic embeddings

Methods 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,

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership
