Biodiversity gains from efficient use of private sponsorship for flagship species conservation
|
To address the global extinction crisis, both efficient use of existing conservation funding and new sources of funding are vital. Private sponsorship of charis... |
Protected areas in Borneo may fail to conserve tropical forest biodiversity under climate change
|
Protected areas (PAs) are key for conserving rainforest species, but many PAs are becoming increasingly
isolated within agricultural landscapes, which may have... |
Alleles underlying larval foraging behaviour influence adult dispersal in nature
|
The dispersal and migration of organisms have resulted in the colonisation of nearly every possible habitat and ultimately the extraordinary diversity of life. ... |
Managing the whole landscape: historical, hybrid, and novel ecosystems
|
The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes, particularly in the areas more affected by urban and ... |
Impacts of mountaintop mining on terrestrial ecosystem integrity: identifying landscape thresholds for avian species in the central Appalachians, United States
|
Reclaimed mine-dominated landscapes (less forest and more grassland/shrubland cover) elicited more negative (57 %) than positive (39 %) species responses. Negat... |
Australia is ‘free to choose’ economic growth and falling environmental pressures
|
Over two centuries of economic growth have put undeniable pressure on the ecological systems that underpin human well-being. While it is agreed that these press... |
Mountain landscapes offer few opportunities for high-elevation tree species migration
|
Climate change is anticipated to alter plant species distributions. Regional context, notably the spatial complexity of climatic gradients, may influence specie... |

The Montérégie Connection: linking landscapes, biodiversity, and ecosystem services to improve decision making
|
To maximize specific ecosystem services (ES) such as food production, people alter landscape structure, i.e., the types of ecosystems present, their relative pr... |
THE COST OF INACTION: RECOGNISING THE VALUE AT RISK FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
|
The asset management industry—and thus the wider community of investors of all sizes— is facing the prospect of significant losses from the effects of clima... |
National Conservation Training Center Training Announcement: Decision Analysis for Climate Change - ALC3196
|
Natural resource managers are increasingly tasked with understanding climate
change impacts and using this knowledge in making decisions. Yet the
uncertainty ... |
Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas
|
Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within- lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may af... |
Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species
|
Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overl... |
A large source of low-volatility secondary organic aerosol
|
Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. Their condensable oxidation products can form secondary organic aerosol, a... |

Human mining activity across the ages determines the genetic structure of modern brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) populations
|
Humans have exploited the earth’s metal resources for thousands of years leaving behind a legacy of toxic metal contamination and poor water quality. The sout... |
Anthropogenic environments exert variable selection on cranial capacity in mammals
|
It is thought that behaviourally flexible species will be able to cope with novel and rapidly changing environments associated with human activity. However, it ... |
Functional response of U.S. grasslands to the early 21st-century drought
|
Grasslands across the United States play a key role in regional livelihood and national food security. Yet, it is still unclear how this important resource will... |
