Conservation-focused mapping of avian migratory routes using a pan-European automated telemetry network. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem‐specific, threats.

Capacity and capability of remote sensing to inform invasive plant species management in the Pacific Islands region. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The Pacific Islands region is home to several of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet its unique flora and fauna are under threat because of biological invasions. These invasions are likely to proliferate as human activity increases and large‐scale natural disturbances unfold, exacerbated by climate change. Remote sensing data and techniques

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Rapid Ocean Warming Drives Sexually Divergent Habitat Use in a Threatened Predatory Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
How ectothermic, mobile marine predators are responding to climate change is uncertain due to lack of species‐specific data, which can mask the true impact of this threat. We investigate the impact of environmental conditions and thermal extremes on the behavior and distribution of angelsharks, a highly threatened elasmobranch of global conservation ...

Value of combining transect counts and telemetry data to determine short‐term population trends in a globally threatened species

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract To evaluate conservation interventions, it is necessary to obtain reliable population trends for short (<10 years) time scales. Telemetry can be used to estimate short‐term survival rates and is a common tool for assessing population trends, but it has limitations and can be biased toward specific behavioral traits of tagged individuals ...

Berries and bullets: influence of food and mortality risk on grizzly bears in British Columbia Bayas y balas: influencia de la alimentación y el riesgo de mortalidad en los osos grizzly en la Columbia Británica Des baies et des balles: influence de l'alimentation et risques de mortalité chez les ours grizzlys de la Colombie‐Britannique

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 213, Issue 1, November 2023., 2023
We developed a spatialized surface for the primary food of grizzly bears in southeast British Columbia. After using this huckleberry patch layer to model habitat selection, fitness, and density, in a bottom‐up top‐down paradigm, we found that huckleberry patches near forestry roads contribute very little to fitness and density.

Tracking marine tetrapod carcasses using a low‐cost mixed methodology with GPS trackers, passive drifters and citizen science

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 2354-2361, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Drift experiments are essential to understand stranding patterns and estimate the mortality of beached animals. Most studies do not use telemetry technology due to the high costs of this methodology. The objective of this paper is to describe the possibilities of tracking marine tetrapod carcasses with a low‐cost and replicable methodology ...

Using historical spy satellite photographs and recent remote sensing data to identify high‐conservation‐value forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract High‐conservation‐value forests (HCVFs) are critically important for biodiversity and ecosystem service provisioning, but they face many threats. Where systematic HCVF inventories are missing, such as in parts of Eastern Europe, these forests remain largely unacknowledged and therefore often unprotected.
