Improving wild animal welfare through contraception.

To date, research on the welfare impacts of wildlife contraceptives has mostly been focused on the potential harms of contraceptives. However, there are compelling theoretical reasons to expect direct and indirect welfare benefits of wildlife contraceptives. These positive welfare effects would be experienced by more than just the treated individuals, because per capita resource availability will increase with decreasing numbers of individuals sharing a resource.

Williams claim that the data used in Sabo were improperly scaled to account for fishing effort, thereby invalidating the analysis. Here, we reanalyze the data rescaled per Williams and following the methods in Sabo Our original conclusions are robust to rescaling, thereby invalidating the assertion that our original analysis is invalid.

Monitoring of tropical freshwater fish resources for sustainable use.

Tropical freshwater ecosystems are some of the world's most biodiverse and productive systems where determining what sustainable exploitation of inland fisheries looks like is particularly challenging. One of the greatest obstacles to sustainable management is collecting and using quality data on fish production and yield. The biodiversity and hydro-ecology of these systems often under open-access governance, add to the complexity of managing them.
