The creation of protected areas (PAs) is not always based on science; consequently, some
aquatic species may not receive the same level of protection as terrestrial ones. The …

Vital rates for small, non‐breeding individuals are important components of population
dynamics for many species, but often individuals of these sizes are difficult to locate, capture …

Over the past decade, vertebrate populations globally have experienced significant declines
in distribution and abundance. Understanding the reasons behind these population declines …

Invasive mammalian predators are efficient at driving native animal declines. The red fox
