Evaluating harvest risk with limited data: A case study on polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in East Greenland

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
We developed a state‐dependent modeling and management framework to evaluate the demographic effects of different harvest strategies on the East Greenland polar bear subpopulation. This paper is for scientists undertaking wildlife harvest risk assessments for conservation and management, and for wildlife managers responsible for establishing ...

Using Integrated Species Distribution Models to Improve Range Size Metrics for IUCN Red List Assessments

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Estimates of a species' Area of Occupancy (AOO) and Extent of Occurrence (EOO) are key metrics for Red List assessments. Presence‐only species distribution models (SDMs) with arbitrary thresholding are commonly used for this task even when data could support more rigorous analyses. We evaluate the advantages of integrated SDMs (iSDMs) over

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Habitat Selection and Intrapopulation Spatial Segregation in an Arctic Top Predator at the Southern Limit of Its Range

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Located at the southern extent of the species' range, polar bears in James Bay exhibited intrapopulation variation in space use, resulting in two spatial clusters during the on‐ice season. Some bears remained within southern James Bay, whereas others ranged more broadly north of the bay.

Jaguar Range‐Wide Connectivity: Prioritising Core Areas and Corridors Between and Within Protected Areas and Indigenous Lands

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using movement‐based connectivity models, we identify priority core areas and dispersal corridors for jaguars across the Americas, revealing strong connectivity in South America but major fragmentation in Mexico, Central America and the Atlantic Forest.

Quantifying post‐release behaviour of a critically endangered elasmobranch over two capture events using high‐resolution archival tag data

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1616-1627, September 2026.
Abstract During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event.

Marine heatwaves shape size‐dependent thermal exposure, habitat use and marine residency in Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1628-1644, September 2026.
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in high‐latitude oceans, yet behavioural responses of anadromous fishes to these potential stressors during short marine feeding seasons remain poorly understood. We combined acoustic telemetry (internal temperature and depth) with satellite‐derived sea surface temperature data to quantify Arctic char ...
