Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
The Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB) is one of the most regulated and fragmented river systems in Australia. The basin's extensive river infrastructure development has supported growing water demands for irrigation, industry, domestic, and electricity production, but increased use of pumps for water diversion threatens aquatic species and biodiversity conservation. Of particular concern is the entrainment of fish from natural waterw...
From scientific models to decisions: exploring uncertainty communication gaps between scientists and decision-makersNARA Subscribed
Effective communication of uncertainty relies on transparent exchanges between scientists and decision-makers. However, significant gaps often exist between how scientists and decision-makers perceive, understand, and communicate uncertainty. This study examines the dynamics of uncertainty communication between scientists and decision-makers, employing a reflective thematic analysis of 32 interview datasets, comprising 17 scie...
Perca fluviatilis (the European perch) is one of the most common and well-studied freshwater fishes in the world, largely owing to its widespread distribution and popularity among anglers and aquaculturalists. It has been especially well-studied in its native ranges of Eurasia, but has received far less attention elsewhere. Here we review key aspects of the general biology and ecology of the European perch, by considering lear...
Can Satellite Products Recognise Extreme Precipitation Over Southeastern South America?NARA Subscribed
Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in southeastern South America (SESA). The limited rain gauge network in SESA could be overcome using satellite‐based synthetic precipitation data. This study analyses the capability of satellite products IMERG Final Run V06, PERSIANN, PERSIANN CCS‐CDR and PDIR‐NOW in capturing extreme precipitation characteristics over SESA in the 2001–2020 peri...
Genetic diversity is the foundation of biodiversity, and preserving it is therefore fundamental to conservation practice. However, global conservation efforts face significant challenges integrating genetic and genomic approaches into applied management and policy. As collaborative partnerships are increasingly recognized as key components of successful conservation efforts, we explore their role and relevance in the Australia...
Updates to the Melbourne Children’s Regional Infant Brain Software Package (M-CRIB-S)NARA Subscribed
The delineation of cortical areas on magnetic resonance images (MRI) is important for understanding the complexities of the developing human brain. The previous version of the Melbourne Children's Regional Infant Brain (M-CRIB-S) (Adamson et al. Scientific Reports, 10 (1), 10, 2020) is a software package that performs whole-brain segmentation, cortical surface extraction and parcellation of the neonatal brain. Available cortic...
Capability of satellite data to estimate observed precipitation in southeastern South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Precipitation is a fundamental component of the water cycle. Satellite‐derived precipitation estimates with high spatial resolution and daily to subdaily temporal resolution become very important in regions with a limited ground‐based measurement network, such as southeastern South America (SESA). This study evaluates the performance of four state‐of‐the‐art satellite products, including IMERG V.06 Final Run, PERSIANN, PERSIAN...
Toward sustainable harvest strategies for marine fisheries that include recreational fishingNARA Subscribed
Recreational fishing (RF) is a large yet undervalued component of fisheries globally. While progress has been made in monitoring, assessing, and managing the sector in isolation, integration of RF into the management of multi‐sector fisheries has been limited, particularly relative to the commercial sector. This marginalises recreational fishers and reduces the likelihood of achieving the sector's objectives and, more broadly,...
Achieving conservation outcomes in plant mitigation translocations: the need for global standardsNARA Subscribed
Many countries have legislation intended to limit or offset the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and development on threatened plants. Translocations are often integral to those mitigation policies. When translocation is used exclusively to mitigate development impacts, it is often termed a ‘mitigation translocation.’ However, both the terminology and processes vary regarding interpretation and application, resulting in inc...
Aim After environmental disasters, species with large population losses may need urgent protection to prevent extinction and support recovery. Following the 2019–2020 Australian megafires, we estimated population losses and recovery in fire‐affected fauna, to inform conservation status assessments and management. Location Temperate and subtropical Australia. Time period 2019–2030 and beyond. Major taxa Australian terrestrial a...
Terrestrial runoff can negatively impact marine ecosystems through stressors including excess nutrients, freshwater, sediments, and contaminants. Severe storms, which are increasing with global climate change, generate massive inputs of runoff over short timescales (hours to days); such runoff impacted offshore reefs in the northwest Gulf of Mexico (NW GoM) following severe storms in 2016 and 2017. Several weeks after coastal...
