Cognitive and institutional barriers to effective natural resource management under global change
Abstract Many of the most challenging decisions facing natural resource managers today can be understood as time dependent. The concept of time‐dependent decisions is useful when considering natural resource management decisions that are characterized by nonstationarity in the underlying ecological system, uncertainty surrounding key ecological ...

Using value of information in recovery planning for imperiled species
Conservation planning often employs predictive models to prioritize alternative actions, but uncertainty related to lack of data or uncertainty in the influence of global change may erode confidence in predictions. Managers must choose between investing time and money to gather more information, or implementing conservation actions immediately, despite

Marine heatwave forecast triggers rapid response strategy for critically endangered red handfish
We demonstrate the value of proactive conservation in responding to climate extremes through Australia's first pre‐emptive rescue of a protected marine fish species, the Critically Endangered red handfish. Ahead of the 2023/2024 El Niño event, marine heatwave forecasts prompted the temporary removal of 25 red handfish from the wild.

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?
We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

The big impact of small change: Fresh estimates of English wheat market integration, 1693–1893
Abstract Using existing and new price data sets, we provide the first estimates of market integration across England over the entire 200 years of the industrial revolution. We document a significant, though not huge, integration improvement for markets furthest from London. Full integration was achieved by the 1830s. Our price data sets vary in quality
