Wildlife winners and losers of extensive small-livestock farming: a case study in the South African KarooBiodiversity and Conservation - Tập 28 - Trang 1493-1511 - 2019
Marine Drouilly, M. Justin O’Riain
Extensive farming is an important source of food and fibre and often the only viable land use in the more arid regions of the globe. Yet, land use transformation for livestock grazing can lead to natural habitat degradation and fragmentation, identified as the main threats to biodiversity worldwide. Understanding which species are “winners” (i.e. species with a higher relative abundance index on f...... hiện toàn bộ
Recreational trampling negatively impacts vegetation structure of an Australian biodiversity hotspotBiodiversity and Conservation - Tập 24 - Trang 2685-2707 - 2015
S. Mason, D. Newsome, S. Moore, R. Admiraal
Recreational trampling damage of natural vegetation is an increasing problem in the global context and has the potential to impact on vegetation communities that are of high ecological and socio-economic interest. Wildflower tourism in the national parks of southwest Australia, a global biodiversity hotspot, has the potential to damage the flora on which it depends through trampling.

Genetic evidence for sex-biased dispersal and cryptic diversity in the greater horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinumBiodiversity and Conservation - Tập 30 - Trang 847-864 - 2021

Dispersal plays an important role in the ecological and evolutionary processes of natural populations. Mating behavior (or mating system) is a critical factor shaping dispersal patterns and extents in social mammals, sometimes driving the evolution of sex-biased dispersal. Using molecular markers with contrasting modes of inheritance (mitochondrial DNA and nuclear microsatellites), we determined t...... hiện toàn bộ
Ghana ecological risks: a space law and science education approach to the management frameworksBiodiversity and Conservation - Tập 32 - Trang 3809-3824 - 2023
Emmanuel K Nartey
This article discusses what Ghana needs for the development of legal and scientific education programmes to manage framework of biodiversity and the ecosystem. The first part of the article examines literature produced on this topic, which offers many clues about the challenges and opportunities facing Ghana, as well as the lessons that can be learned from both other space nations and actors in th...... hiện toàn bộ
Conserving Britain's biodiversity. I:Thlaspi perfoliatum L. (Brassicaceae), Cotswold PennycressBiodiversity and Conservation - Tập 7 - Trang 915-926 - 1998
T. C. G. Rich, C. R. Lambrick, C. Kitchen, M. A. R. Kitchen
This paper describes the decline and conservation work carried out on the rare, statutorily protected species Thlaspi perfoliatum L. (Brassicaceae), Cotswold Pennycress, in England. This plant has been recorded historically in a total of about 45 native and 37 introduced sites. Surveys between 1986 and 1997 found populations in nine native sites and three introduced sites, suggesting an 80% loss o...... hiện toàn bộ
