Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Data justice and biodiversity conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Increases in data availability coupled with enhanced computational capacities are revolutionizing conservation. But in the excitement over the opportunities afforded by new data, there has been less discussion of the justice implications of data used in conservation, that is, how people and environments are represented through data, the ...

Near‐term ecological forecasting for dynamic aeroconservation of migratory birds
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1777-1786, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Near‐term ecological forecasting has the potential to mitigate negative impacts of human modifications on wildlife by directing efficient action through relevant and timely predictions. We used the U.S. avian migration system to highlight ecological forecasting applications for aeroconservation.

基于长时序MODIS的陕西省近20年生态质量时空变化及其驱动力研究
Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023 人口激增和随之带来的气候变化对区域生态环境产生胁迫,生态环境质量的动态定量评估可为地区生态环境保护战略部署和区域生态文明建设提供研究支撑。陕西省现有生态质量评价的研究多基于区县尺度的统计数据,但普遍存在时间跨度小且难以揭示其内在驱动力的问题。基于2001—2018年MODIS数据计算陕西省生长季遥感生态指数(RSEI),运用趋势分析法、Hurst指数法、偏相关分析法于像元尺度探究陕西省2001—2018年生态质量时空演变规律及其对气候和人类活动的响应。结果表明:(1)陕西省近20年来生态质量持续改善 ...

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.
