Biodiversity conservation: Does phylogeny matter?
To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary not only to maximize the number of taxa that are saved today, but also to guarantee the maintenance of high levels of biological diversity in the future. A recent analysis argues that, to achieve this, consideration of phylogeny is essential.
متن کاملThe calculus of biodiversity: integrating phylogeny and conservation.
TREE vol. 15, no. 3 March 2000 Conclusions The strength of this workshop was in the exchange it promoted between new theory and new data. Both are allowing us not only to ask new questions, but also to return to old ones using tools that were not available to the contempories of Fisher, Haldane and Wright. It seems probable that progress in population genetics will continue apace with the rapid...
متن کاملDoes conservation on farmland contribute to halting the biodiversity decline?
Biodiversity continues to decline, despite the implementation of international conservation conventions and measures. To counteract biodiversity loss, it is pivotal to know how conservation actions affect biodiversity trends. Focussing on European farmland species, we review what is known about the impact of conservation initiatives on biodiversity. We argue that the effects of conservation are...
متن کاملDoes Term Expansion Matter for the Retrieval of Biodiversity Data?
While term expansion techniques are well investigated for many domains, semantic enrichment of keyword queries for the retrieval of scientific datasets is still paid little attention to. In particular, a systematic analysis of which kind of semantically related concepts lead to the most relevant results is missing. Based on query expansion techniques, we semantically enriched search queries pro...
متن کاملQuantifying Biodiversity: Does It Matter What We Measure?
The pace and severity of the current extinction crisis is unprecedented, and there is a large disparity between the scale of the problem and the available recourses with which to mitigate it. Prioritising conservation efforts is therefore critical. With the extinction of species, we lose not only taxonomic diversity but also the ecosystem services they provide and the evolutionary history repre...
