Sampling mass mortality events to enable diagnoses: A protocol using freshwater mussels
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 250-268, February 2025.Abstract Many taxa around the globe are threatened by often unexplained mass mortality events (MMEs), which can decimate populations and compromise key ecosystem functions. One example of a highly threatened taxon facing frequent MMEs is freshwater mussels (Unionida).

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 1, January/February 2025.ABSTRACT Globally, hundreds of thousands of rangers patrol protected areas every day. The data they collect have immense potential for monitoring biodiversity and threats to it. Technologies like SMART (Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool), which facilitate the management of ranger‐collected data, have enhanced this potential.

Opportunistic bacteria and mass mortality in ungulates: lessons from an extreme event
Ecosphere, 2019 Mass mortality events in wildlife are a growing concern. Under conditions of rapid global change, opportunistic responses in bacterial commensals, triggered by environmental stressors, may be increasingly implicated in die‐offs.

Rewilding through inappropriate species introduction: The case of European bison in Spain
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2024.The increasing pressure to release bisons as a wild species in Spain, as an ecological analogue of the extinct steppe bison Bison priscus, makes it an excellent example to reflect on whether the rewilding of Europe would be, or not, biogeographically advisable. We scrutiny this proposal taking into account the best available evidence on the species, in

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2012 One of the crucial issues of our decades is how to stop the loss of biodiversity. Policy–makers need reliable data to base their decisions on. Managing wildlife populations requires, first of all, science–based knowledge of their abundance, dynamics ...

Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2024.Commonly used two‐sex discrete‐time population projection models rely on mating functions developed for continuous‐time frameworks that overestimate the number of unions between reproductive individuals. We propose a novel mating function that is robust by obeying all properties necessary to be ecologically valid and flexible by accommodating all ...
