Assessing gaps in marine conservation in California

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2006
Implementation of marine conservation strategies lags far behind terrestrial conservation efforts. Quantifying what is protected and what is not, or “gap analysis”, helps to show just how much work there is to do; systematic conservation planning provides guidance on how to best fill those gaps. We conducted the first marine gap analysis for California

Biodiversity hotspots and conservation gaps in Iran

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2017
Iran is one of the most important countries in the Middle East for biodiversity conservation. Because of the high habitat diversity in Iran, a wide range of animal species can live in the country. However, there is lack of knowledge about biodiversity hotspots in Iran.

Effective primate conservation education: gaps and opportunities

American Journal of Primatology, 2010
AbstractConservation education goals generally include influencing people's conservation awareness, attitudes, and behaviors. Effective programs can help foster sustainable behavior, improve public support for conservation, reduce vandalism and poaching in protected areas, improve compliance with conservation regulations, increase recreation carrying ...

Addressing knowledge gaps in reptile conservation

Biological Conservation, 2016
Abstract Reptiles are the most species-rich group of terrestrial vertebrates, yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of their extinction risk. Only 45% of described reptile species have been assessed by IUCN to date (4648 of 10,400 species); of these, 20% (945 species) are threatened with extinction, and 19% (867 species) are Data Deficient.

Selective conservation of GAP-43 structure in vertebrate evolution

Neuron, 1989
GAP-43 (a.k.a. B-50, F1, pp46, or neuromodulin) is a major growth cone membrane protein whose expression is widely correlated with successful axon elongation, but whose function remains unknown. To distinguish the structural features of GAP-43 most relevant to its cellular functions, we have determined features of the protein that are most highly ...

Evolutionary biology and practical conservation: bridging a widening gap

Molecular Ecology, 2007
AbstractAt the ecosystem, species and population level, available measures suggest that average rates of loss of populations and habitats are now around 1% per year and seem likely to increase in the future. Habitat conversion continues in most parts of the world, especially in areas of high species richness, and novel threats, especially climate ...

Conserved usage of gap and homeotic genes in patterning the CNS

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1999
The homeotic and cephalic gap genes play central roles in the specification of the anteroposterior animal body axis. Genetic studies carried out in Drosophila and mouse now demonstrate that these genes are also involved in embryonic brain development. The homeotic genes act in posterior brain patterning, and the cephalic gap genes act in anterior brain

Biodiversity: bridging the gap between condition and conservation

Hydrobiologia, 2003
The aim of this study is to create a two-tiered assessment combining restoration and conservation, both needed for biodiversity management. The first tier of this approach assesses the condition of a site using a standard bioassessment method, AUSRIVAS, to determine whether significant loss of biodiversity has occurred because of human activity.

Public Lands, Private Conservation: Bridging the Gap

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
This paper was written as a background paper for a workshop held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in October 2015. The Province of Alberta has been expressing interest in conservation and biodiversity offsets for some time, and is making gradual progress on the development of policy tools.
