Conservation practitioners face the complex challenge of addressing global biodiversity threats within social-ecological systems with multiple jurisdictions, numerous interest groups, and changing environmental conditions. Bridging the research-to-implementation gap between scientists and managers, which integrates diverse perspectives that represent the variety of considerations impacting management outcomes can help to infor...
Context matters: emotional responses to urban greening interventions depend on city settingNARA Subscribed
Urban green spaces deliver a remarkable range of human health and well-being benefits, and there is substantial, global effort into incorporating urban greening into the design of cities. However, intense competition for space in cities means small interstitial gaps in the urban fabric are being used for many contemporary green spaces, such as planter boxes or raised garden beds. These small urban greening interventions have b...
Economic Assessment of Potato Response to Struvite and Conventional Phosphorus Fertilizer in Eastern CanadaNARA Subscribed
Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are essential but potentially inefficient, especially in shallowrooted potatoes. A 3-year field experiment (2016-2018) was conducted in four distinct sites in Eastern Canada to investigate economic and environmental impacts of struvite-based slow-release and conventional P fertilizers in potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.). Marginal return (MR = gross revenue-total operating cost) was assessed for differe...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Exploring the data demands and global opportunities for reconstructing morphological responses to climate changeNARA Subscribed
There is growing evidence that morphological change is a widespread response to the warming climate. The empirical basis for understanding this process has, to date, largely been correlative analyses of morphological time series. However, it is not clear what constitutes sufficient temporal sampling for assessing long-term morphological change. We analyzed two long-term high-quality morphological datasets, one including 33 spe...
Aim Eucalypt species are known for their diversity of bark types and adaptation to fire and drought. Eucalypts with stringy bark and ribboning bark are notorious for accumulating large amounts of bark fuels compared to other tree species. In this study, we examined the fire regime (fire frequency and intensity) and bioclimatic distributions of 12 contrasting eucalypt bark types, and provided maps of eucalypt bark type distribu...
Aim Efforts to retain and restore forest integrity—the degree to which a forest's structure and function are not modified by humans—are increasingly underpinning global biodiversity conservation efforts. However, there is still much uncertainty around how species respond to changes in forest integrity. Geographically variable responses would have consequences for conservation planning assessments and targeted conservation acti...
Capacity and capability of remote sensing to inform invasive plant species management in the Pacific Islands regionNARA Subscribed
The Pacific Islands region is home to several of the world's biodiversity hotspots, yet its unique flora and fauna are under threat because of biological invasions. These invasions are likely to proliferate as human activity increases and large‐scale natural disturbances unfold, exacerbated by climate change. Remote sensing data and techniques provide a feasible method to map and monitor invasive plant species and inform invas...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Introduction Elasmobranchs, such as sharks and rays, are among the world’s most endangered vertebrates, with over 70% loss in abundance over the past 50 years due to human impacts. Zooarchaeological baselines of elasmobranch diversity, distribution, and exploitation hold great promise for contributing essential historical contexts in the assessment of contemporary patterns in their taxonomic diversity and vulnerability to huma...
