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 ...

Land sparing to make space for species dependent on natural habitats and high nature value farmland
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Empirical evidence from four continents indicates that human food demand may be best reconciled with biodiversity conservation through sparing natural habitats by boosting agricultural yields.

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 ...

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 ...

Improving the Design of a Conservation Reserve for a Critically Endangered Species
PLoS ONE, 2017 Setting aside protected areas is a key strategy for tackling biodiversity loss. Reserve effectiveness depends on the extent to which protected areas capture both known occurrences and areas likely to support the species.

Identification of functional transcription factor binding sites using closely related Saccharomyces species [PDF]
, 2005 Comparative genomics provides a rapid means of identifying functional DNA elements by their sequence conservation between species. Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) may constitute a significant fraction of these conserved sequences, but the ...
