Biodiversity in the Age of Ecological Indicators

Acta Biotheoretica, 2006
The multifarious nature of biodiversity is considered in relation to difficulties of definite determination and managerial mandates for monitoring. At a micro scale there is some convergence with the concept of community, but the linkage is largely lost in the spectra of temporal scope, spatial scales, successional seres, and taxonomic trajectories ...

Microbial ecology and biodiversity in permafrost

Extremophiles, 2006
Permafrost represents 26% of terrestrial soil ecosystems; yet its biology, essentially microbiology, remains relatively unexplored. The permafrost environment is considered extreme because indigenous microorganisms must survive prolonged exposure to subzero temperatures and background radiation for geological time scales in a habitat with low water ...

Assessing Biodiversity and Ecological Stability

Science, 2000
Jocelyn Kaiser, in her News Focus article “Rift over biodiversity divides ecologists” (25 Aug., p. [1282][1]), repeats the conventional wisdom that Robert May's theoretical work in the 1970s showed that diversity works against stability.

Evolutionary ecology and the conservation of biodiversity

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996
Studies on evolving interactions among species and the coevolutionary process have suggested that the conservation of biodiversity requires a broad geographic perspective, if the `interaction biodiversity' of the earth is to be conserved with its species diversity. Continued maintenance of the geographic mosaic of specialization, defense and population

Biodiversity and Ecological Redundancy

Conservation Biology, 1992
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of which biota to choose to best satisfy the conservation goals for a particular region in the face of inadequate resources, Biodiversity is taken to be the integration of biological variability across all scales, from the genetic, through species and ecosystems, to ...

Ecological Economics and Biodiversity

2014
The new field of ecological economics recognizes the importance of containing economic growth within the biophysical limits of the biosphere and the need for a new economic model that recognizes and maintains the diversity of functions and species in the planet’s ecosystems (Costanza and Daly 1987, Daly and Farley 2010).
