Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

THE BEACHCARE PROGRAM: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN COASTAL DUNE RESTORATION

Revista Ouricuri, 2017
Coastal management through community involvement has significant advantages over non-participatory approaches as involving the community allows for consideration of multiple interests, resources, and skills that may expand the capacity for action and enhances local stewardship. Participation can help increase project efficiency as it avoids duplication

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Sand dune restoration experiments at Bei-Men Coast, Taiwan

Ecological Engineering, 2014
AbstractThe Bei-men barrier beach in southwestern Taiwan is a coastal plain with rivers, tidal channels and lagoons. Together with dunes and associated water bodies, the beach and tidal flats provide valuable habitat for many fauna and flora. However, in the last 3 decades, due to both natural and anthropogenic activities, the barrier beach and sand ...

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

28 years of vegetation change (1978 – 2006) in a calcareous coastal dune system [PDF]

, 2010
Changes in vegetation structure and composition over a 28 year period (1978–2006) following removal of human-induced disturbances, were examined in a calcareous coastal dune system in Point Nepean National Park (380 19’S, 1440 41’E) in south-eastern ...

Effectiveness of territorial protection categories in conserving an endemic island bird during population fluctuation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an
