Global Biodiversity Conservation Priorities [PDF]

Science, 2006
The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation organizations have proposed nine templates of global priorities over the past decade.

Biodiversity Conservation

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
Abstract The University of Tokyo Hokkaido Forest (UTHF) manages extensive areas of mature natural forests using the Stand-based Silvicultural Management System, which provides a favorable environment for forest organisms. In addition to forest reserves, where no silvicultural management or logging is conducted, there are other areas where ...

Using Aerial Photogrammetry to Assess Stock-Wide Marine Turtle Nesting Distribution, Abundance and Cumulative Exposure to Industrial Activity

Remote Sensing, 2021
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.

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box

Animals, 2023
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 ...

How genomics can help biodiversity conservation.

Trends in Genetics, 2023
The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment, conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed management decisions.

Limited phylogeographic and genetic connectivity in Acacia species of low stature in an arid landscape

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
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 ...

Traditional ecological knowledge and its role in biodiversity conservation: a systematic review

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
In various parts of Africa, scholars have paid a great deal of attention to TEK, focusing mainly on their role in biodiversity conservation or natural resource management.

Two Methods of Monitoring Cats at a Landscape-Scale

Animals, 2021
Feral cats are difficult to manage and harder to monitor. We analysed the cost and the efficacy of monitoring the pre- and post-bait abundance of feral cats via camera-traps or track counts using four years of data from the Matuwa Indigenous Protected ...

Crowdfunding biodiversity conservation [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2018
Abstract Raising funds is critical for conserving biodiversity and hence so is scrutinizing emerging financial mechanisms that may help achieve this goal. Anecdotal evidence indicates crowdfunding is being used to support activities needed for biodiversity conservation, yet its magnitude and allocation remain largely unknown.

As old as the hills: Pliocene palaeogeographical processes influence patterns of genetic structure in the widespread, common shrub Banksia sessilis

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The impact of Quaternary glaciation on the development of phylogeographic structure in plant species is well documented. In unglaciated landscapes, phylogeographic patterns tend to reflect processes relating to persistence and stochasticity, yet other ...
