DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.01.017
Abstract: Abstract Endangered species laws seek to prevent extinction by outlawing actions that may cause harm or lead to extinction. In doing so, these laws are sometimes criticized for limiting management flexibility and subjecting landowners to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108646
Abstract: Abstract Although they are the foundations of most efforts to conserve biodiversity, protected areas in the United States have, historically, not always been located in the most important areas to accomplish this goal. We investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112630
Abstract: Threatened species are inadequately represented within protected areas (PAs) across the globe. Species conservation planning may be improved by using public species-occurrence databases, but empirical evidence is limited of how that may be accomplished at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/conl.12629
Abstract: Compensation policies seek to counterbalance biodiversity losses caused by development; however, their effectiveness is rarely tested. We examined U.S. Species Conservation Banks (SCBs) in California, a compensation program initiated 30 years ago. We quantified the… read more here.
