Wild bongo density estimation and population viability analysis improves conservation management

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus) are rare, mostly nocturnal forest antelopes in tropical Africa that are prized by trophy hunters for their large size, curved horns, and colorful pelage.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Adaptive data collection strategies for spatial capture–recapture monitoring: Linking monitoring approaches to seasonal variation in density and space use

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Effective monitoring of wildlife populations is critical for conservation, but long‐term, large‐scale efforts are often limited, leading to inconsistent and disconnected site‐based data. This study evaluated adaptable, search–encounter data collection strategies for lions (Panthera leo) in Nairobi National Park across three surveys (2018, 2021 and 2022)

Environmental Performance Drivers: A Political Cost Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 4102-4147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT We contribute to the business strategy and the environment literature by examining the effect of political cost pressures on corporate environmental performance in the context of United Kingdom‐listed firms. Drawing on a sample of non‐financial firms from the FTSE All‐Share Index over a period of 10 years (2013–2022), we construct novel ...

Densities and perceptions of jaguars in coastal Nayarit, Mexico

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
Conservation of large carnivores will require greater analyses of population parameters, habitat use, and distribution in multiuse landscapes as human populations increase and agriculture expands.

Mountains Without Borders: Scaling up Conservation Success for Snow Leopards

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 1-4, March 2026.
This special issue assembles pioneering research addressing three critical and interconnected challenges: establishing where viable populations persist at range edges, advancing methods to monitor this cryptic species and its prey effectively, and evaluating whether landscapes remain connected across political boundaries.

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data

Jaguar Density at the Northeastern Limit of Its Distribution in Mexico

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study presents the first estimate of jaguar density in northeastern Mexico using a spatial capture–recapture model with random thinning, which incorporates both identified and unidentified camera trap detections. Conducted over 91 days with 104 cameras, the model yielded a density of 1.29 individuals per 100 km2 in the El Cielo–Sierra de Tamalave ...

Spatially Explicit Capture-Recapture Through Camera Trapping: A Review of Benchmark Analyses for Wildlife Density Estimation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Camera traps have become an important research tool for both conservation biologists and wildlife managers. Recent advances in spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) methods have increasingly put camera traps at the forefront of population ...

Detection of Manufacturing Defects in Lithium-Ion Batteries-Analysis of the Potential of Computed Tomography Imaging

Energies, 2023
Realising an ideal lithium-ion battery (LIB) cell characterised by entirely homogeneous physical properties poses a significant, if not an impossible, challenge in LIB production.
