The study of the stratosphere-troposphere interaction is important as it can contribute to boosting predictability in the subseasonal-to-seasonal timescale, particularly regarding extremes. This manuscript investigates the relationship between the stratospheric polar vortex and its sudden stratospheric warming and the troposphere in regard to the reflective and absorptive states of the vortex. We explore the eddy heat flux in...

Recent conservation planning studies have presented approaches for integrating spatially referenced social (SRS) data with a view to improving the feasibility of conservation action. We reviewed the growing conservation literature on SRS data, focusing on elicited or stated preferences derived through social survey methods such as choice experiments and public participation geographic information systems. Elicited SRS data inc...

Whenever population viability analysis (PVA) models are built to help guide decisions about the management of rare and threatened species, an important component of model building is the specification of a habitat model describing how a species is related to landscape or bioclimatic variables. Model‐selection uncertainty may arise because there is often a great deal of ambiguity about which habitat model structure best approxi...
