Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Applying tradable permits to biodiversity conservation: effects of space-dependent ecological benefits and cost heterogeneity on habitat allocation [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the cost-effective allocation of habitat for endangered species under spatio-temporally heterogeneous economic development. To address the dynamic dimension of the problem we consider tradable development rights (TDR) as the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Ecological benefits of tourism management and the challenges of habitat classification
Global Ecology and ConservationNature-based tourism is increasingly popular, with destination competitiveness tied to natural assets or protection status. While tourism often poses conservation challenges, limited research explores its potential ecological benefits when management ...

Use of Occupancy Models to Evaluate Expert Knowledge-based Species-Habitat Relationships
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2012 Expert knowledge-based species-habitat relationships are used extensively to guide conservation planning, particularly when data are scarce. Purported relationships describe the initial state of knowledge, but are rarely tested.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Moving Beyond Static Species Distribution Models in Support of Conservation Biogeography [PDF]
Aim: To demonstrate that multi-modeling methods have effectively been used to combine static species distribution models (SDM), predicting the geographical pattern of suitable habitat, with dynamics landscape and population models in order to forecast ...
