Importance and spatial patterns of invisible fisheries in Amazonian clear-water rivers as revealed by fisher knowledge and collaboration. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
The graphical abstract highlights the research collaboration with fishers through interviews to record fishers' knowledge and participatory monitoring, to provide data on small‐scale fisheries in three clear water rivers (Trombetas, Tapajos and Tocantins).

Scale-Dependent Effects of Landscape Heterogeneity on Butterfly Functional and Taxonomic Diversity in Andean Urban Parks. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Local vegetation structure and landscape composition significantly affect butterfly diversity, underscoring the role of habitat quality in shaping butterfly assemblages ABSTRACT Urbanization poses a significant threat to biodiversity, reducing native species diversity in cities.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

A spatial planning approach for the identification of critical habitat for threatened species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The designation of critical habitat for the conservation of threatened species has long been recognized in the environmental legislation of different countries. However, translating vague legislation about critical habitat into practical real‐world designation remains challenging because of its sensitivity to many context‐ and species‐specific

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Applying the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology to classify, describe, and map ecosystems based on regional data and Indigenous knowledge. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Four streams of infromation, data, and knowledges are brought together into an ecosystem typology for the Tiwi Islands. The Typology contains written descriptions and conceptual models for each ecosystem, cross‐reference to other classification schemes, and a map of ecosystem distributions. Abstract Effective ecosystem conservation for biodiversity and

Survival of Eurasian lynx in the human-dominated landscape of Europe. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Survival and cause‐specific mortality rates are vital for evidence‐based population forecasting and conservation, particularly for large carnivores, whose populations are often vulnerable to human‐caused mortalities. It is therefore important to know the relationship between anthropogenic and natural mortality causes to evaluate whether they ...

Potential Adaptive Introgression From Dogs in Iberian Grey Wolves (Canis lupus). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Invading species along with increased anthropogenization may lead to hybridization events between wild species and closely related domesticates. As a consequence, wild species may carry introgressed alleles from domestic species, which is generally assumed to yield adverse effects in wild populations.

Methodology for Evaluating the Quality of Ecosystem Maps: A Case Study in the Andes

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016
Uncertainty in thematic maps has been tested mainly in maps with discrete or fuzzy classifications based on spectral data. However, many ecosystem maps in tropical countries consist of discrete polygons containing information on various ecosystem ...

Local Food Systems: Making Visible the Invisible Through Urban Agroecology

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2022
The world is going through the second wave of urbanization. Although cities still occupy a relatively small area, they are the main consumers of natural resources, energy and water.
