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...

Age‐based life‐history information provides a foundation for evaluating population dynamics and vulnerability of coral reef fishes, yet many commercially important species from the tropical western Pacific remain poorly characterized. In this study, we examined the age, growth, and reproductive life histories of three reef‐associated species harvested in Guam's commercial fishery: the blacktip grouper Epinephelus fasciatus , t...

The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach highlights the interdependence of water, energy and food resources, all of which play central roles in agriculture, especially irrigation. A WEF nexus lens was applied to Mpumalanga's Crocodile River catchment, a vital irrigation area that significantly contributes to South Africa's staple food production. The region faces rising water demand and excessive withdrawals, threatening wat...

Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is transmitted nonpersistently by multiple aphid species and has become an emerging threat to chile pepper production in regions of the United States where peppers are grown in the vicinity of alfalfa, the primary reservoir of the pathogen. Because nonpersistent transmission limits the effectiveness of chemical vector control, management strategies that reduce exposure to viruliferous aphids are need...
