Assessing the extinction risk of insular, understudied marine species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Hydrothermal vents are rare deep‐sea oases that house faunal assemblages with a similar density of life as coral reefs. Only approximately 600 of these hotspots are known worldwide, most only one‐third of a football field in size. With advancing development of the deep‐sea mining industry, there is an urgent need to protect these unique ...

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Los moluscos bivalvos

, 2013
En este libro se considera a la biodiversidad como la variedad y variabilidad de los seres vivos y de los sistemas ecológicos que ellos integran. Por lo tanto, son tres los componentes de la diversidad biológica organizados en tres niveles: el de las especies (variedad), que son conjuntos de organismos afines capaces de reproducirse entre sí; el de los

Inter‐country differences in the cultural ecosystem services provided by cockles

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 71-87, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across countries are even rarer. In the case of shellfish, considerable ecosystem services focus has been placed on nutrient remediation, with relatively little on the cultural services provided, despite
