During the past few decades, many heathland species in Western Europe have declined significantly, mainly because of habitat loss. In particular, species that need active management for their survival may be more prone to extinction than later s[...]

A recovery programme for a population of Apollo butterflies in the Pieniny National Park was monitored over 12 years in order to assess its effectiveness. The programme was based on population ecology and metapopulation theory and its object was[...]

The ability to detect trends in population abundance is of obvious interest to wildlife managers. In recent years, the probability of detecting defined population trends has been the most common method of assessing monitoring programs. Such anal[...]

Urban developments and road networks extend their impacts on the surrounding habitats along a variable distance, affecting birds living in natural environments. This study identifies the threshold distances upon which several cities and roads, l[...]

We screened 351 species or genera for their response to disturbance in coastal sage scrub (CSS) to develop a 15-metric, 5-taxon Index of Biological Integrity (IBI). We collected data on ants, birds, herpetofauna, small mammals, and plants for tw[...]

Many temperate zone bat species form colonies during the highly synchronised summer breeding period allowing differences in foraging behaviour to be compared between females in different reproductive states. Such comparisons may clarify mechanis[...]

Classic metapopulation theory assumes relatively frequent population extinctions and colonisations on local habitat patches and consequently its interest is focused on spatial presence-absence patterns rather than on local population densities a[...]

Organic farming has been shown to be beneficial to many taxa associated with farmland habitats, but its importance in mosaic farmland landscapes is poorly understood. The impacts of organic farming have been suggested to be more pronounced in la[...]

An approach is presented which integrates an economic and an ecological model for designing cost-effective compensation payments for conservation of endangered species in real landscapes. The approach is used to develop a cost-effective payment [...]

Hybridization of a rare endemic with a more common congener can endanger the rarer species through gene swamping. This study used a combination of genetic, morphological and cytological analyses to assess the threat to Bell's twinpod (Physaria b[...]

Vegetation pattern in lowlands between active sand dunes has rarely been studied, but it may play an important role in maintaining the biodiversity This paper aims to quantify relationships between lowland area and species richness, composition [...]

Habitat fragmentation can cause population declines greater than those expected from habitat loss alone. This can result from detrimental "edge effects", which occur when predation rates are higher at habitat edges relative to interiors. The mar[...]

The success of invasive species control depends on management type, duration and recovery following management. Population models were here used to compare response and recovery of clipped and herbicide-treated Agropyron cristatum populations in[...]

Habitat destruction and introductions of invasive species have been primary causes of endemic species loss on oceanic islands. This paper addresses the question of whether a reintroduced population of a critically endangered island endemic, the [...]

The development of land for modern agriculture has resulted in losses of native prairie habitat. The small, isolated patches of prairie habitat that remain are threatened by fire suppression, overgrazing, and invasion by non-native species. We e[...]

Assessment of habitat use for species of conservation concern can lead to important measures for habitat conservation. In high-Andean Polylepis forests (3000-5000 m), two such species are the Giant Conebill (Oreomanes fraseri) and the Tawny Tit [...]
