An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Spatiotemporal patterns of elephant and chimpanzee occurrence amid hunting in an unprotected African rainforest

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We used long‐term data (2008–2023) from an unprotected African rainforest facing hunting pressure and impending logging to model how Nigeria‐Cameroon chimpanzees and African forest elephants respond to hunting. We found that elephant occurrence declined with increasing terrain ruggedness and was not affected by hunting.

What Museum Guests Think About When They Think About Belonging

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A sense of belonging is one of the most fundamental human needs and is threaded through all aspects of a museum guest's experience. Using a previously validated model and survey of belonging in museums, we surveyed 1780 guests leaving eight different museums and similar cultural institutions across the United States.
