Managing uncertainty in decision‐making for conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Science‐based decision‐making is the ideal. However, scientific knowledge is incomplete, and sometimes wrong. Responsible science‐based policy, planning, and action must exploit knowledge while managing uncertainty. I considered the info‐gap method to manage deep uncertainty surrounding knowledge that is used for decision‐making in ...

A theoretical framework for upscaling species distribution models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2888-2899, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Species distribution models (SDM) have become one of the most popular predictive tools in ecology. With the advent of new computation and remote sensing technology, high‐resolution environmental data sets are becoming more and more common predictors in these modelling efforts.

A rural‐centric model for understanding women's later life precarity in an agrarian economy in Uganda

open access: yesPoverty &Public Policy, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 290-307, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aging as a woman within the context of agricultural transformation where production and consumption values shape everyday life raises concerns of later life precarity. Gender economic inclusion is imperative in the achievement of inclusive rural development.

De‐peripheralization and rural land capitalization: An empirical study of a public–private partnership in Zhaoqing, China

open access: yesRegional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1596-1611, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Classical urban geography theories determine the distribution of population, production and economic activities on geospatial features. Under this assumption, peripheral regions are rarely prosperous. Depopulation, weak industrial and employment structure and inefficient and fragmented land use form a negative feedback loop. Within the context

Making a case for the consideration of trust, justice, and power in conservation relationships

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract In conservation, trust and justice are increasingly recognized as both intrinsically valuable and critical for successful socioecological outcomes. However, the interdependence between these concepts has not been explored. The conservation trust literature provides examples of efforts to build trust between conservationists and local actors ...

Adapting participatory processes to fine‐tune conservation approaches in multiactor decision settings

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 804-815, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Conservation decisions are typically made in complex, dynamic, and uncertain settings, where multiple actors raise diverse and potentially conflicting claims, champion different and sometimes contradictory values, and enjoy varying degrees of freedom and power to act and influence collective decisions. Therefore, effective conservation actions

A network approach to prioritize conservation efforts for migratory birds

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 416-426, April 2020., 2020
Abstract Habitat loss can trigger migration network collapse by isolating migratory bird breeding grounds from nonbreeding grounds. Theoretically, habitat loss can have vastly different impacts depending on the site's importance within the migratory corridor.

To Ban or Not to Ban: The UK's Hamlet Moment With Farm Antibiotics

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This article applies the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) to examine post‐Brexit antimicrobial resistance (AMR) governance in UK agriculture, focusing on the contested regulation of prophylactic antibiotic use in farm animals. The study reveals how Brexit created a structural policy window, yet political and ideological dynamics rendered it ...

The Future of AI in the GCC Post‐NPM Landscape: A Comparative Analysis of Kuwait and the UAE

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Comparative evidence of how two Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states translate artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions into post–New Public Management (post‐NPM) outcomes are scarce because most studies focus on Western democracies. To fill this gap, we examine constitutional, collective choice, and operational rules that shape AI uptake in ...

Human Footprint Halves Tail Loss Rates in Geckos Worldwide

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic changes alter predator–prey systems worldwide. Defensive behaviour is shaped by the costs and benefits for individuals, and we hypothesise that tail shedding, as an escape strategy, has a higher cost for animals in human‐modified environments compared to natural landscapes. Therefore, our central objective was to evaluate the
