Spatiotemporal Assessment of Littoral Waterbirds for Establishing Ecological Indicators of Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Waterbirds are vital indicators of anthropogenic influence on the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Our study relates temporal waterbird data to key environmental gradients at catchment scale that have a structural or functional ...

The project ANSER (Adriatic Transborder Interreg IIIA) for the evaluation of wetland ecological role for waterbird resting and wintering in Northern Adriatic [PDF]

, 2007
La Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia ha avviato nel 2005, in qualità di Lead Partner, il progetto ANSER, che mira a valutare il ruolo ecologico delle zone umide per la sosta e lo svernamento degli uccelli acquatici nell’Adriatico settentrionale ed a ...

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

The entanglement between the IUCN Red List and international biodiversity law

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (red list) is of fundamental importance for nature conservation and biodiversity protection. I considered the interaction between the red list and international biodiversity law (IBL), the legal regime that aims to protect biodiversity at a global level ...

Navigating multiple objectives, partners, and jurisdictions: Decision analysis for range‐wide conservation planning for an at‐risk species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We describe a collaborative, multi‐partner, multi‐objective structured decision making process to develop a range‐wide conservation planning framework to recover an at‐risk species—the gopher frog. The process identified optimal, site‐specific management strategies that balanced population outcomes and cost, depending on the weight decision makers ...

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.
