Threatened species legislation and threatened species recovery: does the former lead to the latter? [PDF]
, 2004 Vision statements and key action statements are primary and useful tools for threatened species recovery and threat abatement. In this chapter I provide a view of the necessary vision and key action statements. Listing a species or biological entity through threatened species legislation may or may not lead to its recovery, and this factor should be ...

Identifying functionally distinctive and threatened species
Biological Conservation, 2022 AbstractFunctional traits determine species’ responses to environmental change and/or determine species’ effects on ecosystem functions. When species with distinctive functional traits are threatened, there is a risk that ecosystem properties are also threatened.

Genetic effects of long-term captive breeding on the endangered pygmy hog [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Long-term captive populations often accumulate genetic changes that are detrimental to their survival in the wild. Periodic genetic evaluation of captive populations is thus necessary to identify deleterious changes and minimize their impact through ...

Plant rarity in fire-prone dry sclerophyll communities
Scientific Reports, 2022 Understanding the responses of rare species to altered fire disturbance regimes is an ongoing challenge for ecologists. We asked: are there associations between fire regimes and plant rarity across different vegetation communities?

How local antipredator response unbalances the rock-paper-scissors model [PDF]
Chaos 32, 123142 (2022), 2022 Antipredator behaviour is a self-preservation strategy present in many biological systems, where individuals join the effort in a collective reaction to avoid being caught by an approaching predator. We study a nonhierarchical tritrophic system, whose predator-prey interactions are described by the rock-paper-scissors game rules.

How to ensure threatened species monitoring leads to threatened species conservation [PDF]
Ecological Management & Restoration, 2018 SummaryMonitoring is essential for effective conservation and management of threatened species and ecological communities. However, more often than not, threatened species monitoring is poorly implemented, meaning that conservation decisions are not informed by the best available knowledge. We outline challenges and provide best‐practice guidelines for
