We present a method for estimating broad trends in ecosystem area based on incomplete and heterogeneous data, developing a proof-of-concept for the first indicator of change in area of natural wetland, the Wetland Extent Trends (WET) index. We u[...]

Many countries have conservation plans for threatened species, but such plans have generally been developed without taking into account the potential impacts of climate change. Here, we apply a decision framework, specifically developed to ident[...]

Within a mosaic of agricultural and urbanized landscapes, shrub habitats are important refuges that help maintain biodiversity. Unfortunately, these habitats have been dramatically altered over the past several decades for practical and esthetic[...]

Negative impacts of some introduced carnivores like feral cats are well documented, widespread, and significant. Comparatively, the effects of feral dogs (individuals that are not associated with people or human settlements) on native wildlife a[...]

Due to ease of global transportation, disease threats to amphibians are expected to increase. Therefore it is crucial that we improve our understanding of factors which may depress disease resistance so that we can incorporate this information i[...]

Human induced climate change is having a dramatic impact on global biodiversity and insular assemblages are particularly vulnerable. However, the cascading impacts of tropical cyclones on insular ecosystems are poorly understood and expected to [...]

Incorporating climate change into conservation decision-making at site and population scales is challenging due to uncertainties associated with localized climate change impacts and population responses to multiple interacting impacts and adapta[...]

Analysis of multilocus genotypes is fundamental to conservation genetics, allowing inference ranging from population delineation to identification of dispersers; additionally, the natal range of a sample of unknown origin may be assigned. We inv[...]

On islands, invasive predators, particularly feral cats and rats, are key drivers of bird population decline and extinction. Diet studies can be used to assess predator impacts on prey populations. Here we first evaluated the resolution of morph[...]

Human preferences may generate purely anthropogenic positive feedback loops reinforcing either declines of overexploited populations or expansions of prized introduced species, potentially leading to species substitutions. I illustrate this proc[...]

The future persistence of biodiversity is likely to be affected by global climate change. We propose a qualitative framework for assessing the resilience of coastal species to climate change, incorporating current and likely future breeding succ[...]

Seismic surveys are widely used in marine geophysical oil and gas exploration, employing airguns to produce sound-waves capable of penetrating the sea floor. In recent years, concerns have been raised over the biological impacts of this activity[...]

Restoration activities are limited by funding and logistics. To optimise restoration efforts, we need to evaluate the effects of management actions on wildlife populations. In general, site-scale habitat quality has a stronger influence on habit[...]
