- Finding the essential: Improving conservation monitoring across scales
- Source: Global Ecology and Conservation
- Author(s): C.A. Guerra, L. Pendleton, E.G. Drakou, V. Proença, W. Appeltans, T. Domingos, G. Geller, M. Giamberini, M. Gill, H. Hummel, S. Imperio, M. McGeoch, A. Provenzale, I. Serral, A. Stritih, E. Turak, P. Vihervaara,…
- Abstract: Here we develop a framework that uses an ecosystem-focused approach to support managers in identifying essential variables in an integrated and scalable approach. We advocate that this approach can complement current essential variable developments, by allowing conservation managers to draw…
- Reciprocity in restoration ecology: When might large carnivore reintroduction restore ecosystems?
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 234
- Author(s): J.M. Alston, B.M. Maitland, B.T. Brito, S. Esmaeili, A.T. Ford, B. Hays, B.R. Jesmer, F.J. Molina, J.R. Goheen
- Abstract: Carnivore reintroduction is often expected to revert community and ecosystem properties to their natural…
- Bird conservation and the land sharing‐sparing continuum in farmland‐dominated landscapes of lowland England
- Abstract: Empirical evidence from many regions suggests that most species would be least negatively affected if human food demand were met through high‐yield agricultural production and conservation of nonfarm ecosystems (land sparing), rather than through wildlife‐friendly farming over a larger area…
- Everything you Always Wanted to Know About Conservation and Human Behavior but Were Afraid to Ask
- Conservation Biology Book Review

- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 234
- Author(s): Erin E. Poor, Emmanuel Frimpong, Muhammad Ali Imron, Marcella J. Kelly
- Abstract: Despite the establishment of a national protected area system at the beginning of the 20th century to protect some of the world’s most biodiverse…
- Improving reintroduction success in large carnivores through individual-based modelling: How to reintroduce Eurasian lynx (<em>Lynx lynx</em>) to Scotland
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 234
- Author(s): Thomas S. Ovenden, Stephen C.F. Palmer, Justin M.J. Travis, John R. Healey
- Abstract: Globally, large carnivores have been heavily affected by habitat loss, fragmentation and persecution, sometimes resulting in local extinctions….
- Terrestrial vertebrates as surrogates for selecting conservation areas in a biodiversity hotspot in Mexico
- Source: Conservation Science and Practice
- Author(s): AG Monroy‐Gamboa, MÁ Briones‐Salas, S Sarkar, V Sánchez-Cordero
- Abstract: Systematic conservation planning (SCP) identifies priority areas for biodiversity conservation using surrogates for adequate representation of biodiversity content. The use of multiple well-known taxonomic groups rather than single ones as a surrogate set is expected to enable a better representation of most important biodiversity constituents in prioritizing conservation areas.
- Where to draw the line? Using movement data to inform protected area design and conserve mobile species
- Source: Biological Conservation
- Author(s): CY Choi, HB Peng, P He et al.
- Abstract: Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of modern conservation. For PAs that are established to conserve mobile species, it is important to cover all the key areas regularly used by these species. However, zonation and boundaries of PAs have often been established with limited knowledge of animal movements, leaving the effectiveness of some PAs doubtful.
