Modulation of habitat-based conservation plans by fishery opportunity costs: a New Caledonia case study using fine-scale catch data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Numerous threats impact coral reefs and conservation actions are urgently needed. Fast production of marine habitat maps promotes the use of habitat-only conservation plans, where a given percentage of the area of each habitat is set as conservation ...

Predictive habitat modelling as a tool to assess the change in distribution and extent of an OSPAR priority habitat under an increased ocean temperature scenario:consequences for marine protected area networks and management [PDF]

, 2013
The aims of this study were to determine the extent and distribution of an OSPAR priority habitat under current baseline ocean temperatures; to illustrate the prospect for habitat loss under a changing ocean temperature scenario; and to demonstrate the ...

Livestock production land and conservation areas play a complementary role in the conservation of a critically endangered grassland bird

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
In many parts of the world, livestock production and biodiversity conservation are important land uses of native grasslands in agricultural landscapes. Approaches to managing grasslands typically differ between production farms and conservation areas as ...

Extending the interpretation of Natura 2000 habitat types beyond their definition can bias their conservation status assessment: An example with species-rich Nardus grasslands (6230*)

Ecological Indicators, 2023
In this study, taking as an example the species-rich Nardus stricta grasslands (habitat 6230*) within the Natura 2000 network of the Lombardy region (northern Italy, central southern Alps), we evaluated i) whether the spatial distribution of the habitat ...

Incorporating spatio-temporal connectivity for prioritized conservation of individual habitat patches in a dynamic landscape

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Habitat fragmentation has largely reduced biodiversity in the urban fringe. The prioritization of individual habitat patches can provide spatially explicit guidance for ecological conservation and restoration. Numerous studies discussed the effectiveness

Assessing the umbrella value of a range-wide conservation network for Jaguars (Panthera onca) [PDF]

, 2016
Umbrella species are employed as conservation short-cuts for the design of reserves or reserve networks. However, empirical data on the effectiveness of umbrellas is equivocal, which has prevented more widespread application of this conservation strategy.
