Effect of scale on trait predictors of species responses to agricultureConservation Biology - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 463-472 - 2015
James J. Gilroy, Claudia A. Medina, Torbjørn Haugaasen, David P. Edwards
AbstractSpecies persistence in human‐altered landscapes can depend on factors operating at multiple spatial scales. To understand anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity, it is useful to examine relationships between species traits and their responses to land‐use change. A key knowledge gap concerns whether these relationships vary depending on the scale of response ...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of River Impoundment on Ecosystem Services of Large Tropical Rivers: Embodied Energy and Market Value of Artisanal FisheriesConservation Biology - Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 1222-1231 - 2009
David J. Hoeinghaus, Ângelo Antônio Agostinho, Luiz Carlos Gomes, Fernando Mayer Pelicice, Edson Kiyoshi Okada, João Dirço Latini, Elaine Antoniassi Luiz Kashiwaqui, Kirk O. Winemiller
Abstract: Applying the ecosystem services concept to conservation initiatives or in managing ecosystem services requires understanding how environmental impacts affect the ecology of key species or functional groups providing the services. We examined effects of river impoundments, one of the leading threats to freshwater biodiversity, on an important ...... hiện toàn bộ
Biological Criteria for Buffer Zones around Wetlands and Riparian Habitats for Amphibians and ReptilesConservation Biology - Tập 17 Số 5 - Trang 1219-1228 - 2003
Raymond D. Semlitsch, J. Russell Bodie
Abstract: Terrestrial habitats surrounding wetlands are critical to the management of natural resources. Although the protection of water resources from human activities such as agriculture, silviculture, and urban development is obvious, it is also apparent that terrestrial areas surrounding wetlands are core habitats for many semiaquatic species that depend on mesi...... hiện toàn bộ
Limiting Depredation by African Carnivores: the Role of Livestock HusbandryConservation Biology - Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 1521-1530 - 2003
Mordecai Ogada, Roșie Woodroffe, Nicholas Oguge, Laurence Frank
Abstract: Most large carnivore species are in global decline. Conflict with local people, particularly over depredation on livestock, is a major cause of this decline, affecting both nominally protected populations and those outside protected areas. For this reason, techniques that can resolve conflicts between large carnivores and livestock farmers ma...... hiện toàn bộ
Fishery Recovery in a Coral‐reef Marine Park and Its Effect on the Adjacent FisheryConservation Biology - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 1187-1199 - 1996
Tim R. McClanahan, Boaz Kaunda‐Arara
Numbers offish and their wet weights were estimated in Kenyan coral‐reef lagoons on seven reefs over 6 years. Two sites were protected from fishing for over 20 years, whereas the other five sites were heavily fished in recent years. A heavily fished site was converted into a marine park (Mombasa Marine National Park, approximately 10 km2 no fishing allowed), and the nu...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of traffic noise on tree frog stress levels, immunity, and color signalingConservation Biology - Tập 31 Số 5 - Trang 1132-1140 - 2017
Mathieu Troïanowski, Nathalie Mondy, Adeline Dumet, Caroline Arcanjo, Thierry Lengagne
AbstractDuring the last decade, many studies have focused on the detrimental effects of noise pollution on acoustic communication. Surprisingly, although it is known that noise exposure strongly influences health in humans, studies on wildlife remain scarce. In order to gain insight into the consequences of traffic noise exposure, we experimentally manipulated traf...... hiện toàn bộ
Catastrophic Decline in Mollusc Diversity in Eastern Tasmania and Its Concurrence with Shellfish FisheriesConservation Biology - Tập 18 Số 6 - Trang 1579-1588 - 2004
Graham J. Edgar, Cath R. Samson
Abstract:
We used historical patterns of deposition of mollusc shells to infer changes to inshore benthic assemblages in the southeastern Tasmanian region over the past 120 years. We identified and counted shells in slices embedded within 1m long 210Pb‐dated sediment cores were collected at 13 sites in water depths of 8...... hiện toàn bộ
Identifying Reefs of Hope and Hopeful Actions: Contextualizing Environmental, Ecological, and Social Parameters to Respond Effectively to Climate ChangeConservation Biology - Tập 23 Số 3 - Trang 662-671 - 2009
Tim R. McClanahan, Joshua E. Cinner, Nicholas A. J. Graham, Tim M. Daw, Joseph Maina, Selina M. Stead, Andrew Wamukota, Kevan Brown, Valentijn Venus, Nicholas Polunin
Abstract: Priorities for conservation, management, and associated activities will differ based on the interplay between nearness of ecosystems to full recovery from a disturbance (pristineness), susceptibility to climate change (environmental susceptibility [ES]), and capacity of human communities to cope with and adapt to change (social adaptive capac...... hiện toàn bộ
