To What Extent Can Life History Strategies Inform Reptile Conservation Planning?
Conservation planners must effectively target interventions to reduce the extinction risk of species. If we can use a species' life history strategies to predict their responses to interventions, thi...

In this article, we explore whether life history data can inform conservation planning.

Using Dynamic Energy Budget Integral Projection Models and PCA, we test if species’ positions along life history strategy axes predict variables of conservation interest.

This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re celebrating the incredible women in our community! From research labs to to the field, they’re shaping the future and paving the way for more to follow 🔬✨ #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #WeAreNCL
A collage of 15 images showcasing women in various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. The images depict women conducting laboratory experiments, giving presentations, working outdoors in nature, engaging in field research, operating drones, beekeeping, diving for marine studies, and participating in conferences. The settings range from laboratories and lecture halls to outdoor environments, highlighting the diversity of scientific careers.
