The lack of accurate distribution maps and reliable abundance estimates for marine species can limit the ability of managers to design scale-appropriate management measures for a stock or population.

Since the beginning of the 20th Century, a complex web of national, regional and international regulatory instruments has developed to handle environmental degradation, so that it can be further used by humans today or in the future, not because Nature deserves, per se, not to be destroyed.

Biodiversity and Geography [PDF]
Abstract We combine a new economic geography model of agglomeration and dispersion of economic activity with an ecological–economic model of species diversity to examine optimal policies of biodiversity conservation in a two-region world. Species diversity is inevitably impaired by anthropogenic impact.

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box
Conservation translocations have become increasingly popular for ‘rewilding’ areas that have lost their native fauna. These multispecies translocations are complex and need to consider the requirements of each individual species as well as the influence ...

A biodiversity-employment framework to protect biodiversity [PDF]
Abstract Protecting biodiversity matters for the sustainability transition, but nothing yet seems to be able to halt the rate of biodiversity loss. The promotion of green jobs fuels questionable ideas, among which that there are green vs non-green jobs, and that the latter can be progressively replaced by green jobs.

In defence of biodiversity [PDF]
The concept of biodiversity has played a central role within conservation biology over the last thirty years. Precisely how it should be understood, however, is a matter of ongoing debate. In this paper we defend what we call a classic multidimensional conception of biodiversity.

Widespread plant species are expected to maintain genetic diversity and gene flow via pollen and seed dispersal. Stature is a key life history trait that affects seed and potentially pollen dispersal, with limited stature associated with limited ...

How much biodiversity is concealed in the word “biodiversity”?
Amidst a global biodiversity crisis1, the word 'biodiversity' has become indispensable for conservation and management2. Yet, biodiversity is often used as a buzzword in scientific literature. Resonant titles of papers claiming to have studied 'global biodiversity' may be used to promote research focused on a few taxonomic groups, habitats, or facets ...
