Global effects of forest modification on herpetofauna communities. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract As the area covered by human‐modified environments grows, it is increasingly important to understand the responses of communities to the novel habitats created, especially for sensitive and threatened taxa. We aimed to improve understanding of the major evolutionary and ecological processes that shape the assemblage of amphibian and reptile ...

Translating habitat class to land cover to map area of habitat of terrestrial vertebrates. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) is defined as the “habitat available to a species, that is, habitat within its range” and is calculated by subtracting areas of unsuitable land cover and elevation from the range. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Habitats Classification Scheme provides information on species habitat ...

Evaluating surrogates of genetic diversity for conservation planning. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Protected‐area systems should conserve intraspecific genetic diversity. Because genetic data require resources to obtain, several approaches have been proposed for generating plans for protected‐area systems (prioritizations) when genetic data are not available. Yet such surrogate‐based approaches remain poorly tested.

野生动物学报, 2009 基于现有的安徽省两栖爬行动物分布资料,系统整理物种分布数据,建立两栖爬行动物地理分布原始数据库。运用GIS技术,以县级行政区为地理单元,分析物种丰富度格局,通过多元统计分析,研究物种多样性的区域分异。结果表明,皖南山地丘陵和大别山山地丘陵地带物种丰富度最高:淮北平原、江淮丘陵的物种丰富度相对较低;但淮北平原和江淮丘陵的部分山地丘陵物种丰富度相对较高。根据各县的分布型物种数量分布,当聚为2组（Jaccard系数大于7.612）时,安徽省物种分布型区域分异基本上呈现山区系组（皖南山区和大别山区 ...

Effects of spatial autocorrelation and sampling design on estimates of protected area effectiveness. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract Estimating the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in reducing deforestation is useful to support decisions on whether to invest in better management of areas already protected or to create new ones. Statistical matching is commonly used to assess this effectiveness, but spatial autocorrelation and regional differences in protection ...

Community-informed and codesigned research to understand the impacts of railways on wildlife. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Trains cause mortalities of several animal species, but the ecological impacts of railways are understudied. Most research on wildlife–train collisions has focused on large mammals, but understanding railway‐specific risks for underrepresented taxa, especially vulnerable species, is important for developing effective mitigation strategies ...

Evaluating protected areas' coverage of threats to terrestrial biodiversity. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Protected areas (PAs) are vital for biodiversity conservation and have expanded globally. However, increasing pressures on biodiversity make it difficult to achieve conservation goals. Using threat probability maps based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the World Database of Protected Areas, we analyzed the ...
