Are we zoning out? Biases in the assessment of protected area zoning and a blueprint for a way forward
PAs implement zoning—dividing PAs into sections with different levels of human activity—to balance biodiversity conservation and resource use. Few studies measured the influence of zoning schemes on biodiversity conservation worldwide. Most studies are performed in MPAs and focus on species abundance in the fisheries framework, neglecting fundamental biodiversity features and limiting the understanding of zoning’s conservation effectiveness. We propose a framework to align PA zoning assessments with global biodiversity goals, emphasizing a more comprehensive approach to conservation metrics.

After two years of work, I'm super happy to share our last work of review on protected areas zoning. 🌲🪸Do we know if this space managment schemes actually works for Biodiversity? Check it out

Great to have this finally out! A whole summer of experiments at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social to look for behavioural and morphological signals of collapse in protists population🔬 Thanks to @duncanobrien.bsky.social @expecocons.bsky.social @dzchilds.bsky.social and John Jackson for the great team work
📢 new publiction led by @francescocerini.bsky.social in Ecology
We look at how press vs. pulse disturbances effect population collapse and how predictable that collapse is 🧪🔬

Multivariate signals of population collapse in a high‐throughput ecological experiment
Anticipating population declines is a crucial goal of conservation ecology. Recent conceptual work suggests that populations facing growing stressors should exhibit sequential shifts in behavior, mor....

A predictive timeline of wildlife population collapse
Nature Ecology & Evolution - The authors outline a framework for predicting animal population collapse under external stressors, based on a predictable sequence of observable changes through time.
