EDGE2: advancing the prioritisation of threatened evolutionary history for conservation action

The paper introduces EDGE2, an updated metric for prioritizing species with threatened evolutionary history, showing it prioritizes species with fewer close relatives more than the original EDGE method.

Ecological theory predicts ecosystem stressor interactions in freshwater ecosystems, but highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the additive null model

The paper uses ecological theory and food web models to predict stressor interactions in freshwater ecosystems, finding additive interactions are most frequent but sampling limitations may mask non-additive effects.

Modelling parameter uncertainty reveals bushmeat yield versus survival trade-offs in heavily-hunted duiker Cephalophus spp.

The paper models parameter uncertainty in duiker hunting to show trade-offs between bushmeat yield and survival, finding that quota-based harvesting creates a yield-extinction risk trade-off while proportional harvesting avoids it but is harder to implement.

The Madingley General Ecosystem Model predicts bushmeat yields, species extinction rates and ecosystem-level impacts of bushmeat harvesting

The paper uses the Madingley General Ecosystem Model to predict bushmeat yields, extinction rates, and ecosystem impacts of harvesting duiker-sized herbivores, showing results comparable to single-species models.

Modelling variation in bushmeat harvesting among seven African ecosystems using the Madingley Model: yield, survival and ecosystem impacts

This study uses the Madingley Model to simulate bushmeat harvesting across seven African ecosystems, finding that yield and ecosystem impacts vary significantly based on climate-driven differences in trophic structure.
