Using a multi-dimensional ecological design, this study aimed first to analyse whether local environmental conditions can account for the spatial segregation of two Italian native decapods, the crayfish Austropotamobius italicus and the river cr[...]

Although disturbance processes play important roles in maintaining habitat heterogeneity, the potential effects of such processes on rare or endangered species is virtually unknown and difficult to test. We use an unplanned fire, which burned ha[...]

Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) were once common prairie inhabitants throughout western North America and were integral components within ecosystems and some Native American tribal cultures. In response to extirpation from tribal lands, the Blackfeet[...]

Traffic of plants and animals of wild origin is a major threat to biological diversity creating a need for legal protection of traded species. Epiphytic vascular plants are a diverse guild which provides the horticultural market with many specie[...]

Tropical oceanic islands contribute disproportion ably for their area to global biodiversity and this is especially true for islands with strong altitudinal gradients. On these islands, species richness and composition usually change with altitu[...]

Objective criteria are needed for ranking marine sites when examining candidate areas for protection measures. We suggest a Marine Classification Criterion (MCC) which allows the application of the widely used Ramsar 1% criterion for wetlands fo[...]

Accounting for habitat loss rates in sequential reserve selection: Simple methods for large problems
Atte Moilanen, Auteur ;
Mar Cabeza, Auteur
We develop reserve selection methods for maximizing either species retention in the landscape or species representation in reserve areas. These methods are developed in the context of sequential reserve selection, where site acquisition is done [...]

Much of metapopulation theory assumes that the persistence of individual populations in a metapopulation, and persistence of the metapopulation as a whole, is best modeled by the area of habitat patches and their isolation. Estimates of isolatio[...]

Understanding the factors influencing the timing of large movement events in pond-breeding amphibians has important conservation implications, especially with regard to establishing road closures aimed at minimizing road mortality. We examined t[...]
