- Wolverines in winter: indirect habitat loss and functional responses to backcountry recreation – Heinemeyer – 2019 – Ecosphere
- Source: Ecosphere
- Author(s): Kimberly Heinemeyer, John Squires, Mark Hebblewhite et al
- Abstract: Outdoor recreation is increasingly recognized to impact nature and wildlife, yet few studies have examined recreation within large natural landscapes that are critical habitat to some of our most rare and potentially disturbance‐sensitive species.
- Military training areas facilitate the recolonization of wolves in Germany
- Source: Conservation Letters
- Author(s): Ilka Reinhardt, Gesa Kluth, Carsten Nowak et al.
- Abstract: Wolves (Canis lupus) are currently showing a remarkable comeback in the highly fragmented cultural landscapes of Germany. We here show that wolf numbers increased exponentially between 2000 and 2015 with an annual increase of about 36%. We demonstrate that the first territories in each newly…
- Nature conservation on decommissioned military training areas – German approaches and experiences
- Source: Journal for Nature Conservation
- Author(s): Götz Ellwanger, Karin Reiter
- Abstract: Military training areas (MTAs) host high numbers of endangered habitats and species due to their large area, generally low fertilizer and biocide exposure, and a high…
- Prioritizing restoration of fragmented landscapes for wildlife conservation: A graph-theoretic approach
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 232
- Author(s): Denys Yemshanov, Robert G. Haight, Frank H. Koch, Marc-André Parisien, Tom Swystun, Quinn Barber, A. Cole Burton, Salimur Choudhury, Ning Liu
- Abstract: Anthropogenic disturbances fragmenting wildlife habitat greatly contribute to extinction risk for many species. In western Canada, four decades of oil and gas exploration have created a network of seismic lines, which are linear disturbances where seismic equipment operates…
- There’s a place for us: New research reveals humanity’s roles in ecosystems
- In two back-to-back symposia a cross-disciplinary cohort of scientists will present the first comprehensive investigations of how humans interacted with plant and animal species in different cultures worldwide through time.
- Forest fires as an opportunity for ecosystem recovery
- It is estimated that globally there are more than two million hectares of land in need of restoration. The fires that occurred in those places provided the people who manage them with an opportunity to change, via a suitable process of ecological restoration, the previous bad forestry practices.
- Adaptive marine conservation planning in the face of climate change: What can we learn from physiological, genetic and ecological studies?
- Source: Global Ecology and Conservation
- Author(s): Gil Rilov, Antonios D. Mazaris, Vanessa Stelzenmüller, Brian Helmuth, Martin Wahl, Tamar Guy-Haim, Nova Mieszkowska, Jean-Baptiste Ledoux, Stelios Katsanevakis
- Abstract Rapid anthropogenic climate change is a major threat to ocean biodiversity, creating a fast-moving target for marine conservation. Strategic conservation planning, and more recently marine spatial planning (MSP) are among the most promising management tools…
- China and India lead in greening of the world through land-use management
- Source: Nature Sustainability
- Author(s): Chi Chen, Taejin Park, Xuhui Wang et al.
- Abstract: Recent satellite data (2000–2017) reveal a greening pattern that is strikingly prominent in China and India and overlaps with croplands world-wide. China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area..
