A systematic review of snake translocations to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated,

Evaluating the success of functional restoration after reintroduction of a lost avian pollinator. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Conservation translocation is a common method for species recovery, for which one increasingly frequent objective is restoring lost ecological functions to promote ecosystem recovery. However, few conservation translocation programs explicitly state or monitor function as an objective, limiting the ability to test assumptions, learn from past ...

Identifying robust strategies for assisted migration in a competitive stochastic metacommunity. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Assisted migration (AM) is the translocation of species beyond their historical range to locations that are expected to be more suitable under future climate change. However, a relocated population may fail to establish in its donor community if there is high uncertainty in decision‐making, climate, and interactions with the recipient ...

Renewed coexistence as a conceptual reframing of animal reintroductions to foster sustainable human-wildlife coexistence. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Wildlife reintroductions are socioecological processes entailing the intentional movement of organisms by people. In animal reintroductions, there is growing recognition of the importance of human dimensions and efforts to integrate these into reintroduction projects. To conceptually reframe reintroductions as processes of renewed coexistence (

Temperature Conditions in Artificial Sea Turtle Nests: Toward Optimized Hatchery Management. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined how environmental and management factors, such as wall distance and egg numbers, influence nest temperatures of Olive Ridley sea turtles in a hatchery on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to species with temperature‐dependent sex determination, such as sea turtles.

Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...

Managing uncertainty in decision‐making for conservation science
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Science‐based decision‐making is the ideal. However, scientific knowledge is incomplete, and sometimes wrong. Responsible science‐based policy, planning, and action must exploit knowledge while managing uncertainty. I considered the info‐gap method to manage deep uncertainty surrounding knowledge that is used for decision‐making in ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Over 1 million species around the world are at risk of extinction, and conservation organizations have to decide where to invest their limited resources. Cost‐effectiveness can be increased by leveraging funding opportunities and increasing collaborative partnerships to achieve shared conservation goals. We devised a structured decision‐making

Mitigating the effects of climate change on the nests of sea turtles with artificial irrigation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract For sea turtles, like many oviparous species, increasing temperatures during development threaten to increase embryonic mortality, alter offspring quality, and potentially create suboptimal primary sex ratios. Various methods are being implemented to mitigate the effects of climate change on reproductive success, but these methods, such as ...

When discomfort enters our skin: Five feminists in conversation
Feminist Anthropology, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 151-169, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Created around, through and within discomfort, this piece weaves together the voices of five feminist scholars in an exploration of troubling affective and emotional experiences, offering material for critical theorizing and engaged scholarship. This inquiry started at a conference panel in July 2019.
