Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Integrating habitat suitability, socioeconomics, and infrastructure to assess global biological invasion risk under climate change: A case study of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...
