Research highlights
June 2024: Judy and other FWS biologists organized and presented the session "From Listing to Recovery: the Science, Processes, and Challenges of the U.S. Endangered Species Act" at the 2024 Botany conference in Grand Rapids, MI
January 2024: Judy was on the Science Friday radio show to talk about the protections and successes of the Endangered Species Act!
June 2023: Our new paper on standardizing methods for matrix population models is out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution!
May 2022: Judy attended the Ecological Forecasting Initiative 2022 virtual conference to present on Species Status Assessments under the Endangered Species Act
February 2022: ABC Australia covered our new paper linking demographic and life history traits to IUCN status for both plant and animal species, using data from the COMPADRE & COMADRE Matrix Databases
September 2021: Excited to share two new papers: one comparing the survival rates of chimpanzees in ex situ populations in North America and Japan, another looks at the consistency between eBird and Breeding Bird Survey data at fine spatial and temporal scales
August 2021: Check out our new study in Global Change Biology where we used population viability analyses to assess climate change impacts on the Emperor penguin
June 2021: Our study looking at the demographic and genetic status of managed zoo populations over time is out now in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment!
April 2021: Our study summarizing how mammals respond to climate change demographically is out now in the Journal of Animal Ecology!
February 2021: Demographers can now contribute their own data directly into the COMPADRE & COMADRE Matrix Databases! Find out more here
