Evaluating surrogates of genetic diversity for conservation planning. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Protected‐area systems should conserve intraspecific genetic diversity. Because genetic data require resources to obtain, several approaches have been proposed for generating plans for protected‐area systems (prioritizations) when genetic data are not available. Yet such surrogate‐based approaches remain poorly tested.

Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

Using disposable food packaging materials as printing, embedding, and sectioning media in the plant anatomy lab. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise During the COVID‐19 pandemic lockdown, all laboratory work was suspended, and we were obliged to work from home, causing delays in our research. As the disruption to supply chains made it difficult to obtain our regular lab supplies, we were obliged to search for substitutes.

Building pondscapes for amphibian metapopulations. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The success of ponds constructed to restore ecological infrastructure for pond‐breeding amphibians and benefit aquatic biodiversity depends on where and how they are built. We studied effects of pond and landscape characteristics, including connectivity, on metapopulation dynamics of 12 amphibian species in Switzerland.

Prioritizing the reassessment of data‐deficient species on the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite being central to the implementation of conservation policies, the usefulness of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is hampered by the 14% of species classified as data‐deficient (DD) because information to evaluate these species’ extinction risk was lacking when they were last ...

Advancing the operationalization of national policy styles
European Policy Analysis, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 200-218, Summer 2023., 2023 Abstract While national policy styles have (re)gained academic attention in recent comparative public policy work, the concept still needs a widely accepted operationalization that can allow the collection and analysis of data across contexts while steering away from construct validity threats.

Digest of Middle East Studies, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 319-339, Fall 2022., 2022 Abstract The involvement of faith‐based organizations in the provision of social welfare has been popular in discourse and policy over the last several decades. This policy is often recommended as a remedy to the underfunded and underdeveloped social welfare system in late industrializing countries.

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract When in 2010 the world's governments pledged to increase protected area coverage to 17% of the world's land surface, several Central African countries had already set aside 25% of their northern savannas for conservation. To evaluate the effectiveness of this commitment, we analyzed the results of 68 multispecies surveys conducted in the seven
