Toward a shared vision for climate‐informed resource stewardship

Brian W. Miller, Gregor W. Schuurman, Wylie Carr, David Lawrence et autres

Climate‐change adaptation planning processes and tools are increasing in number and evolving rapidly. During times of innovation and proliferation, a potential danger is incoherence, when well‐intended contributions can overwhelm, create confusion, or mask complementarities. A shared vision is needed to avoid duplication, …

A landscape conservation perspective of state Species of Greatest Conservation Need

Healy Hamilton, Giovanni Rapacciuolo, John H. Kanter, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand et autres

Abstract State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs), including lists of Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), outline state strategies for protecting species and habitats in the United States. In developing the current, second revision SWAPs, states are increasingly pursuing coordinated landscape conservation approaches. …

Demonstrating a decision support process for landscape conservation design

Thomas W. Bonnot, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand, Nate D. Muenks, Frank R. Thompson

Abstract Despite the recent increase in landscape conservation and the design processes agencies are undertaking, there remains an implementation gap due to an inability to evaluate general strategies and account for uncertainties faced by managers. We demonstrated how a decision support process …

Using resiliency, redundancy, and representation in a Bayesian belief network to assess imperilment of riverine fishes

Corey G. Dunn, David A. Schumann, Michael E. Colvin, Logan J. Sleezer et autres

Abstract Conservation prioritization frameworks are used worldwide to identify species at greatest risk of extinction and to allocate limited resources across regions, species, and populations. Conservation prioritization can be impeded by ecological knowledge gaps and data deficiency, especially in freshwater species inhabiting …

Supporting habitat restoration in the northern Gulf of Mexico through synthesis of data on multiple and interacting benefits and stressors

Erin Kiskaddon, Harris Bienn, Scott A. Hemmerling, S. Dalyander et autres

Outcomes of landscape scale restoration and conservation can be maximized when planning is based upon quantitative and decision-relevant information. Existing tools to support data-driven planning are hindered by regionally inconsistent information and a need for advanced methods to analyze data of varying …

Embracing Ensemble Species Distribution Models to Inform At-Risk Species Status Assessments

Carlos Ramirez‐Reyes, Mona Nazeri, Garrett M. Street, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand et autres

Abstract Conservation planning depends on reliable information regarding the geographic distribution of species. However, our knowledge of species' distributions is often incomplete, especially when species are cryptic, difficult to survey, or rare. The use of species distribution models has increased in recent …

Ensemble Species Distribution Model Identifies Survey Opportunities for At-Risk Bearded Beaksedge (Rhynchospora crinipes) in the Southeastern United States

Carlos Ramirez‐Reyes, Garrett M. Street, Francisco J. Vilella, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand et autres

Locating additional occurrences of at-risk species can inform assessments of their status and conservation needs (including potential legal protections). The perennial bearded beaksedge (Rhynchospora crinipes) ranges from Mississippi to North Carolina, but known occurrences are limited. Because of the species' apparent rarity, …

Species distribution models to inform at-risk species status assessments in the southeastern US

Carlos Ramirez‐Reyes, Mona Nazeri, Garrett M. Street, Francisco J. Vilella et autres

Funding for this project was available thanks to cooperative agreement # F17AC00899 with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This project was also supported by McIntire-Stennis Funds # 1019539 and the Forest and Wildlife Research Center at Mississippi State University.

Occurrence and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Gar in River–Floodplain Habitats: Methods to Leverage Species Coexistence to Benefit Distributional Models

David A. Schumann, Michael E. Colvin, L. E. Miranda, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand

Abstract Habitat segregation and hypothesized biotic interactions among coexisting gar species may confound attempts to describe the distributions of these species by using only macrohabitat availability in the presence of conspecifics. However, the strength of interactions among gar species and the spatial …

Developing a decision-support process for landscape conservation design

Thomas W. Bonnot, D. Todd Jones‐Farrand, Frank R. Thompson, Joshua J. Millspaugh et autres

Planning for sustainable landscapes is hampered by uncertainty in how species will respond to conservation actions amidst impacts from landscape and climate change. Planning decisions, including tradeoffs among competing species objectives, are complex. We developed a decision-support framework that integrates dynamic-landscape metapopulation …
