Of Ethics and Ecosystems: A Bifocal Perspective on Biodiversity Conservation
notion of biodiversity and form a concrete definition by which conservationists can define what exactly it is that they value and wish to preserve. A review of biodiversity definitions will accompany a growing and exhaustive list of components which make up the sort of phenomena which create biological variation, resulting ultimately in an inclusive list of biodiversity components and the manne...
متن کاملA Household Perspective for Biodiversity Conservation
Many researchers have implicated human population density in species endangerment, but these correlative studies do not demonstrate causality. We propose that hypotheses implicating human population density in wildlife endangerment at global and national scales owe their public and academic currency as thoroughly to inductive reasoning and repetition as to scientific experimentation. It follows...
متن کاملTowards a food web perspective on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
One of the most common questions asked by researchers across a variety of scientific disciplines is ‘How does the number of nodes connected together into a network influence the efficiency and reliability of that network?’. While social scientists and epidemiologists might think of ‘nodes’ and ‘connections’ as people interacting within a social network, computer scientists, neurologists, and ci...
متن کاملHarmonizing Biodiversity Conservation and Productivity in the Context of Increasing Demands on Landscapes
Biodiversity conservation and agricultural production are often seen as mutually exclusive objectives. Strategies for reconciling them are intensely debated. We argue that harmonization between biodiversity conservation and crop production can be improved by increasing our understanding of the underlying relationships between them. We provide a general conceptual framework that links biodiversi...
متن کاملGlobal food security, biodiversity conservation and the future of agricultural intensification
Under the current scenario of rapid human population increase, achieving efficient and productive agricultural land use while conserving biodiversity is a global challenge. There is an ongoing debate whether land for nature and for production should be segregated (land sparing) or integrated on the same land (land sharing, wildlife-friendly farming). While recent studies argue for agricultural ...
