Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare. This study aims to evaluate the utility of expert elicitation for adaptive management in the New South Wales Saving our Species program in Australi...

Carrot ( Daucus carota ) is an important crop grown in Canada and globally. Fresh market carrots have strict cosmetic requirements to command full value at “Grade A” and are frequently downgraded for irregular shape, size, or pest damage. Organic farming presents challenges for nutrient management, soil health and pest control, which may be mitigated with cover cropping. A 3-year field experiment was conducted on a commercial...

This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that benthic communities on seamounts are distinct from those of other deep‐sea habitats at comparable depths. Analysis of the squat lobster fauna of deep‐sea habitats in the Southwestern Pacific revealed that the species composition of assemblages on seamounts was not statistically dissimilar from assemblages on slope and plateau habitat at comparable depths. However, composit...
