Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Patient‐reported outcomes and visual function after four refractive strategies in cataract surgery: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and visual function across four groups of public cataract patients: emmetropia, mini‐monovision, monovision with partial‐range of field (RoF) narrow intraocular lenses (IOLs) and patients implanted with partial‐RoF extended IOLs.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...
