Biodiversity conservation gaps in Brazil: A role for systematic conservation planning

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2018
A recent study aimed to estimate the biodiversity conservation gaps of the Brazilian protected area network by analysing more than 880 thousand records of species presence from online databases.

Bridging the conservation genetics gap by identifying barriers to implementation for conservation practitioners

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Despite its recognised importance for species’ persistence, integrating genetics into conservation management has proved problematic, creating a “conservation genetics gap”, which could widen with the advent of advanced genomic techniques.

Distribution Modeling and Gap Analysis of Shorebird Conservation in Northern Brazil

Remote Sensing, 2023
Migratory shorebirds are currently at significant risk, with populations of multiple species dropping globally, often due to habitat disruption and loss. The coast of northern Brazil, along the states of Pará and Maranhão, encompasses one of the broadest

Diversity patterns and conservation gaps of Magnoliaceae species in China

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Magnoliaceae, a primitive group of angiosperms and distinguished ornamental plants with more than 100 species in China, is one of the most threatened plant family in the wild due to logging, habitat loss, over-collection and climate change. To provide a scientific guide of its conservation for policymakers, we explore the diversity patterns of 114 ...

Biodiversity Conservation and the Earth System: Mind the Gap [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020
One of the most striking human impacts on global biodiversity is the ongoing depletion of large vertebrates from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Recent work suggests this loss of megafauna can affect processes at biome or Earth system scales with potentially serious impacts on ecosystem structure and function, ecosystem services, and biogeochemical

Closing the knowledge‐action gap in conservation with open science [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2021
Abstract The knowledge‐action gap in conservation science and practice occurs when research outputs do not result in actions to protect or restore biodiversity. Among the diverse and complex reasons for this gap, three barriers are fundamental: knowledge is often unavailable to practitioners and challenging to interpret or difficult ...

Data gaps and opportunities for comparative and conservation biology [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
Biodiversity loss is a major challenge. Over the past century, the average rate of vertebrate extinction has been about 100-fold higher than the estimated background rate and population declines continue to increase globally. Birth and death rates determine the pace of population increase or decline, thus driving the expansion or extinction of a ...

Using Tracking Data to Identify Gaps in Knowledge and Conservation of the Critically Endangered Siberian Crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus)

Remote Sensing, 2022
The critically endangered Siberian crane (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) is the world’s third most endangered species of crane. Despite the enhanced conservation actions in recent years, there are pieces of evidence that suggest that its population is ...
