Open DOI
A classification approach to categorize urbanized landscapes in California and trait variation in Maltese starthistle
There is increasing evidence that the traits of organisms can differ in urban environments, but defining what makes an environment “urban” is difficult. There are many variables associated with increasing human impacts that might be asso...

Habitat use by critically endangered North Pacific right whales linked to sea ice dynamics at varying spatial scales
Documenting distributional shifts in populations is critical for understanding ecosystem function and developing effective conservation strategies, particularly for rare and understudied species. The Critically Endangered eastern populat...

Biodiversity isn't measured in tons: Making sense of nature in the context of sustainable agriculture
In this review, we articulate several important but often overlooked concepts, trends, and perspectives in the biodiversity monitoring space, specifically in the context of transforming agriculture and the wider food system. We describe ...

Open DOI
Variable spatial management implications based on different seabird distribution and diversity metrics
As resource managers strive to balance marine ecosystem health and services with diverse ocean uses, the spatial and temporal dynamics of species distributions—and their overlap with both static and dynamic human activities—should be car...

Improving predictions of insect harassment for barren‐ground caribou in the Arctic
Many populations of barren‐ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ) have declined or are declining, which is concerning given their ecological role in Arctic ecosystems and their societal role in northern communities. Insect harassment is an...

Facilitative N niche complementarity through grass–legume balance in the Anthropocene: A conceptual synthesis
Grasslands cover nearly 40% of the terrestrial surface and support essential ecosystem services, yet their biodiversity, productivity, and stability are increasingly threatened by climate extremes, land use change, and disruption of biog...

Chital group size: More about food, less about fear in predator‐dominated tropical forests
Group size in ungulates is believed to reflect a balance between antipredator strategies and competition for resources. We studied chital ( Axis axis ) group sizes across habitat types representing variation in food availability and pred...

Using environmental DNA to identify emerging Pacific salmon habitats and support Indigenous governance
Northern watersheds are facing rapid hydroclimatic reorganization driven by climate warming, glacier retreat, and intensifying land use. These changes are altering the distribution and accessibility of aquatic habitats, creating both ris...

Application of close‐kin mark–recapture to an American black bear population using harvest samples
Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) offers a promising alternative to traditional mark–recapture methods for estimating wildlife population parameters. CKMR estimates demographic parameters by identifying genetic relationships between indivi...

DNA metabarcoding reveals key floral resources for native pollinators in post‐fire landscapes
Wildfires are a natural disturbance in dry ponderosa pine forest ecosystems, and are increasing in frequency and severity across western North America. The effects of wildfire on biotic and abiotic conditions have important implications ...
