A Typology of National Park Co-management Agreements in the Era of Reconciliation in Canada

Author(s): Bruce K; Mulrennan ME;

Parks Canada, in response to commitments undertaken towards reconciliation, has signaled its readiness to reassess the participation of Indigenous peoples in the co-management of national parks, national park reserves, and national marine conservation areas ...

Global assessment of effective population sizes: Consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule

Author(s): Clarke SH; Lawrence ER; Matte JM; Gallagher BK; Salisbury SJ; Michaelides SN; Koumrouyan R; Ruzzante DE; Grant JWA; Fraser DJ; ...

Effective population size (Ne) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations. Current guidelines recommend a min ...

Variation in a Darwin Wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Community along an Elevation Gradient in a Tropical Biodiversity Hotspot: Implications for Ecology and Conservation

Author(s): Flinte V; Pádua DG; Durand EM; Hodgin C; Khattar G; da Silveira LFL; Fernandes DRR; Sääksjärvi IE; Monteiro RF; Macedo MV; Mayhew PJ; ...

Understanding how biodiversity varies from place to place is a fundamental goal of ecology and an important tool for halting biodiversity loss. Parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera) are a diverse and funct ...

Global meta-analysis of urbanization stressors on insect abundance, richness, and traits

Author(s): Vaz S; Manes S; Khattar G; Mendes M; Silveira L; Mendes E; de Morais Rodrigues E; Gama-Maia D; Lorini ML; Macedo M; Paiva PC; ...

Anthropic stressors are among the greatest concerns in nature conservation. Among these, deforestation and urban expansion are major drivers of habitat loss, which is a major threat to biodiversity ...

Identifying climate change refugia for South American biodiversity

Author(s): Sales LP; Pires MM;

Refugia-based conservation strategies offer long-term effectiveness and minimize uncertainty on strategies for climate change adaptation. Here, we use distribution modelling to identify climate change refugia for 617 terrestrial mammals and quantify the rol ...

Population demography maintains biogeographic boundaries

Author(s): Schmidt C; Muñoz G; Lancaster LT; Lessard JP; Marske KA; Marshall KE; Garroway CJ;

Global biodiversity is organised into biogeographic regions that comprise distinct biotas. The contemporary factors maintaining differences in species composition between regions are poorly understood. Given evidence that populations with sufficient genetic ...

The effect of past defaunation on ranges, niches, and future biodiversity forecasts

Author(s): Sales LP; Galetti M; Carnaval A; Monsarrat S; Svenning JC; Pires MM;

Humans have reshaped the distribution of biodiversity across the globe, extirpating species from regions otherwise suitable and restricting populations to a subset of their original ranges. Here, we ask if anthropogenic range contractions since the Late Ple ...

Buy them out before they are built: evaluating the proactive acquisition of vacant land in flood-prone areas

Author(s): Atoba K; Newman G; Brody S; Highfield W; Kim Y; Juan A;

Rising flood damages have prompted local communities to implement buyout and property acquisition programmes to eliminate repetitive losses for at-risk properties. However, buyouts are often costly to implement and are reactionary solutions to flooding. Thi ...
