Reinforcement of Environmental DNA Based Methods (Sensu Stricto) in Biodiversity Monitoring and Conservation: A Review

Biology, 2021
Recently developed non-invasive environmental DNA-based (eDNA) techniques have enlightened modern conservation biology, propelling the monitoring/management of natural populations to a more effective and efficient approach, compared to traditional ...

Eastern grasslands: Conservation challenges and opportunities on private lands

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Grasslands were once common in the eastern United States and provided habitat for numerous grassland‐dependent wildlife. However, native grasslands in this region have largely been eliminated as a result of conversion to other land uses (e.g., urban ...

Genetic analyses reveal demographic decline and population differentiation in an endangered social carnivore, Asiatic wild dog

Scientific Reports, 2021
Deforestation and agricultural intensification have resulted in an alarming change in the global land cover over the past 300 years, posing a threat to species conservation. Dhole is a monophyletic, social canid and, being an endangered and highly forest-

A population accounting approach to assess tourism contributions to conservation of IUCN-redlisted mammal species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Over 1,000 mammal species are red-listed by IUCN, as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable. Conservation of many threatened mammal species, even inside protected areas, depends on costly active day-to-day defence against poaching, bushmeat ...

Developing European conservation and mitigation tools for pollination services: approaches of the STEP (Status and Trends of European Pollinators) project [PDF]

, 2011
Pollinating insects form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide a vital ecosystem service to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying ...

Conservation gaps and priorities of range-restricted birds in the Northern Andes [PDF]

PeerJ
The ongoing destruction of habitats in the tropics accelerates the current rate of species extinction. Range-restricted species are exceptionally vulnerable, yet we have insufficient knowledge about their protection. Species’ current distributions, range
