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

The Value of Reference Genomes in the Conservation of Threatened Species. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2019 Conservation initiatives are now more crucial than ever—over a million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction over the coming decades. The genetic management of threatened species held in insurance programs is recommended; however, few are ...

Cities are hotspots for threatened species
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2015 AbstractAimAlthough urbanization impacts many species, there is little information on the patterns of occurrences of threatened species in urban relative to non‐urban areas. By assessing the extent of the distribution of threatened species across all Australian cities, we aim to investigate the currently under‐utilized opportunity that cities present ...

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 ...

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 ...
