Managing Habitats for Conservation
The Journal of Applied Ecology, 1995As it becomes ever more expensive to purchase land for conservation purposes, it is becoming increasingly important both to manage existing sites properly, and to create new habitats. This comprehensive volume provides a pragmatic, habitat by habitat guide to conservation management, in which the prescriptions and methods are based upon sound science ...

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
The development of transportation infrastructure requires a long planning, funding, and implementation cycle that often takes more than a decade for a particular project. Environmental mitigation is usually planned and implemented late in this process and on a project-by-project basis.

2023
Continental shelf and margins contains a wide variety of habitats that have traditionally remained poorly explored because of their inaccessibility to humans and low-light conditions. This is the case of marine caves, coralligenous outcrops, sponge grounds, maërl beds, or gorgonian and black coral gardens, among others.

Integrating sex-specific habitat use for conservation using habitat suitability models
Animal Conservation, 2011(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Divergent habitat utilization and niche partitioning can cause high degrees of ecological specialization even in generalist species. For example, sex-specific specialization results in differential habitat use, which, if neglected in monitoring studies, can lead to biased estimates of population sizes.

Habitat connectivity in biodiversity conservation
Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2015The study of landscape connectivity in conservation has increased considerably since the early part of the 21st century. While the implications of landscape connectivity are self-evident for conservation, they are also important for physical geography since a proper understanding of landscape patterns and processes allows for better landscape ...

Three Paradoxes of Habitat Conservation Plans
Environmental Management, 2009Habitat conservation plans (HCPs) are enabled under section 10(a) of the Endangered Species Act. The substantial increase since 1994 in the number of HCPs has motivated numerous critiques of nearly every aspect of HCPs. These critiques have overlooked several paradoxes that expose fundamental shortcomings of section 10(a) or its implementation. I refer

Distribution, Habitats and Conservation
2015Grasses are found on all continents, including Antarctica (Convey 2001), and exhibit remarkable ecological diversity. Species occur in deep shade of tropical forests, in full sun in deserts, from near the poles to the equator, and from sea level to high altitudes.
