Penguin tracking data for effective conservation in marine spatial planning

This study uses penguin tracking data to identify foraging areas and proposes dynamic spatial-temporal conservation strategies for marine protection.

A report card methodology to showcase progress towards threatened species recovery

This paper introduces a report card methodology to assess progress in threatened species recovery in Australia, revealing poor performance across key indicators.

Prioritizing Management for Cumulative Impacts

This paper identifies leverage nodes in an impact network to prioritize environmental management for reducing risks to ecosystems and species.

An objective-based prioritization approach to improve trophic complexity through ecological restoration

This paper develops a framework to optimize plant species mixes for ecological restoration by prioritizing species based on functional attributes that support trophic relationships and ecosystem services.

Uneven protection of persistent giant kelp forest in the Northeast Pacific Ocean

The paper maps giant kelp forest persistence in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and finds that 7.7% is fully protected, with lower protection rates moving southward.

Deforestation and bird habitat loss in Colombia

This study assesses the impact of deforestation on bird habitats in Colombia, finding widespread habitat loss and projecting increased threat levels by 2040.

Modification of forests by people means only 40% of remaining forests have high ecosystem integrity

The paper quantifies global forest modification, finding 40.5% of remaining forests have high ecosystem integrity, mostly in specific regions, and highlights the need for policies to protect these areas.

A Theory For Ecological Survey Methods To Map Individual Distributions

The paper develops a theory for designing ecological surveys to map individual distributions by considering spatial scales and detectability, showing tradeoffs between mapping resolution and coverage.
