Genome‐environment association analyses reveal geographically restricted adaptive divergence across the range of the widespread Eurasian carnivore Lynx lynx (Linnaeus, 1758)

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2023
Local adaptations to the environment are an important aspect of the diversity of a species and their discovery, description and quantification has important implications for the fields of taxonomy, evolutionary and conservation biology. In this study, we

Environmental management of the buffer zones of conservation units in urban area

open access: yesTerritorium: Revista Portuguesa de riscos, prevenção e segurança, 2011
This article examines, from a legal standpoint, the importance of the definition, diagnosis and establishment of criteria for the use, occupation and monitoring of buffer zones for conservation units of integral protection. The management of conservation

Geoconservation Initiatives in the State of Paraná (Brazil)

open access: yesGeoconservation Research, 2023
Even though geoconservation has advanced significantly in the last few decades, general awareness of its importance is limited, especially in Brazil. Here, we present an overview of geoconservation actions and initiatives in the state of Paraná.

The role of introgression and ecotypic parallelism in delineating intraspecific conservation units

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2020
Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate management of threatened species as parallelism may have ...

Field sports and conservation in the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2003
Many natural habitats exist on privately owned land outside protected areas, but few governments can afford to enforce or subsidize conservation of this biodiversity. Even in some developed countries, conservation subsidy schemes have only achieved limited success.

Integrated Landscape Change Analysis of Protected Areas and their Surrounding Landscapes: Application in the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Remote sensing tools have been long used to monitor landscape dynamics inside and around protected areas. Hereto, scientists have largely relied on land use and land cover (LULC) data to derive indicators for monitoring these dynamics, but these metrics ...
