Abstract Citizen science (CS) is receiving increasing attention as a conduit for Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in ecosystem stewardship conservation. Drawing on field experience scientific literature, we explore the connection between CS ILK demonstrate approaches how can generate useful while at same time strengthening systems. invites laypersons to contribute observations, perspectives, interpretations feeding into In contrast, be understood systems its own right, with practices...
Increased conservation action to protect more habitat and species is fueling a vigorous debate about the relative effectiveness of different sorts protected areas. Here we review literature that compares areas managed by states Indigenous peoples and/or local communities. We argue these can be hard comparisons make. Robust comparative case studies are rare, epistemic communities producing them fractured language, discipline, geography. Furthermore distinction between forms protection on...

Abstract Amphibians are typically intolerant of high temperatures and dehydrating conditions, small species particularly susceptible to desiccation. The rockhole frog, Litoria meiriana (Hylidae), is diurnal often observed on rocks in the sun near streams tropical Australia. These hot, desiccating conditions avoided by most frog species. We measured microclimate areas used frogs activity, body hydric state free‐ranging individuals this frog. also plaster models further explore dynamic nature...
