Applying a values-based decision process to facilitate comanagement of threatened species in Aotearoa New Zealand

Thalassa McMurdo Hamilton et al.

Summary: The Maori saying emphasizes the principle of cooperation in achieving success through working together. Despite reliance on Western science in conservation efforts, integrating indigenous values through values-based approaches can lead to more meaningful outcomes. Co-management between Maori and Pakeha in species conservation has been successful through structured decision making, promoting cooperation and compromise between different cultures.

The translocation trade-off for eastern sand darter (Ammocrypta pellucida): balancing harm to source populations with the goal of re-establishment

Karl A. Lamothe et al.

Summary: The study found that in order to successfully translocate eastern sand darter populations, a sufficiently large number of individuals from source populations is needed, and the risk of source population collapse when removing individuals should be carefully considered. Allee effects, density dependence, and stochasticity affect the probability of translocation success, and uncertainty and challenges add to the demand for source population size.

Year-round offshore distribution, behaviour, and overlap with commercial fisheries of a Critically Endangered small petrel

Johannes H. Fischer et al.

Summary: The study tracked the year-round movements and behavior of the Critically Endangered Whenua Hou diving petrel, identifying their offshore distribution and the overlap with commercial fishing effort. The research showed the importance of spatiotemporal management around breeding colonies to protect the species, highlighting the need for structured decision-making frameworks in conservation efforts. The results emphasize the significance of year-round studies in informing marine species conservation.

A modelling framework for integrating reproduction, survival and count data when projecting the fates of threatened populations

Summary: Ecological research aims to obtain reliable population estimates, but challenges arise from imperfect detection in wildlife populations. Recent methodological advances allow for integration of data sources to gain insights into unobserved population components.

Assessing the population impacts and cost-effectiveness of a conservation translocation

Charles B. Yackulic et al.

Summary: Translocations of humpback chub in the Colorado River tributary positively impacted adult abundance in six out of eight translocations evaluated. Each chub translocated per year was estimated to increase the equilibrium adult population size by 1.2 adults, reducing the need for non-native fish removal. The continuation of translocations at the current rate is expected to save approximately $50,000 per year by reducing the annual probability of removals from 0.26 to 0.15, with potential for further savings by considering factors such as winter/spring runoff and juvenile production estimates.

Preparing for translocations of a Critically Endangered petrel through targeted monitoring of nest survival and breeding biology

Johannes H. Fischer et al.

Summary: The recently described Whenua Hou diving petrel population includes around 200 adults breeding in a vulnerable dune system. Establishing a second breeding population through translocation is seen as beneficial, but careful monitoring data is essential due to the small size of the source population.

Capturing the dynamics of small populations: A retrospective assessment using long-term data for an island reintroduction

Doug P. Armstrong et al.

Summary: The study utilized Bayesian hierarchical models to analyze long-term data on a population of Petroica longipes on Tiritiri Matangi Island in New Zealand, finding that the key factors for replicating population dynamics were density-dependence in juvenile survival and post-release effects, while inclusion of other factors reduced the accuracy of projections. The study suggests that minimizing complexity may be less important than considering covariances in parameter estimates by integrating data analysis and population projections using Bayesian methods.
