Assessing Terrestrial Ecosystem Resilience using Satellite Leaf Area Index
Remote Sensing, 2020 Quantitative approaches to measuring and assessing terrestrial ecosystem resilience, which expresses the ability of an ecosystem to recover from disturbances without shifting to an alternative state or losing function and services, is critical and ...

Plants, 2023 Plant mating systems shape patterns of genetic diversity and impact the long-term success of populations. As such, they are relevant to the design of seed collections aiming to maximise genetic diversity (e.g., germplasm conservation, ecological ...

Conserving Refugia: What Are We Protecting and Why?
Diversity, 2021 Refugia play an important role in contributing to the conservation of species and communities by buffering environmental conditions over time. As large natural landscapes worldwide are declining and are increasingly threatened by extreme events, critical

An individual-based modelling approach to estimate landscape connectivity for bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background. Preserving connectivity, or the ability of a landscape to support species movement, is among the most commonly recommended strategies to reduce the negative effects of climate change and human land use development on species.

Allele Surfing and Holocene Expansion of an Australian Fig (Ficus—Moraceae)
Diversity, 2021 The creek sandpaper fig of southeastern Australia, Ficus coronata Spin, is culturally significant to Australian traditional owners who made use of the leaves to smooth timber and ate the fruit.

Conserving the genetic diversity of condemned populations: Optimizing collections and translocation
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 We consider approaches for conserving genetic diversity from plant populations whose destruction is imminent. We do this using SNP genotype data from two endangered species, Pimelea spicata and Eucalyptus sp. Cattai. For both species, we genotyped plants

Diversity, 2020 Ecological restoration requires balancing levels of genetic diversity to achieve present-day establishment as well as long-term sustainability. Assumptions based on distributional, taxonomic or functional generalizations are often made when deciding how ...
