Complete, accurate, mammalian phylogenies aid conservation planning, but not much.
In the face of unprecedented global biodiversity loss, conservation planning must balance between refining and deepening knowledge versus acting on current information to preserve species and communities. Phylogenetic diversity (PD), a biodiversity measure that takes into account the evolutionary relationships between species, is arguably a more meaningful measure of biodiversity than species d...
متن کاملUsing palaeontological data to assess mammalian community structure: Potential aid in conservation planning
a r t i c l e i n f o Taxon-free metrics of biodiversity health are crucial for present and future conservation efforts in the face of current global change. We investigated the distribution of species in combined diet and body size functional groups over the past 16 Ma in the Northern Great Plains to establish a pre-Holocene (before 11,000 ya, when humans arrived in North America) and pre-indu...
متن کاملCommunity-acquired pneumonia guidelines: much guidance, but not much evidence.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is changing. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in common causative bacteria, the development of new microbiological diagnostic techniques, new understandings in the area of severity assessment and the development of new antibiotics are just some of the issues. Methods of guideline writing have also evolved [1]. The categorisation of evidence an...
متن کاملAn aid to accurate planning of alar reconstruction in rhinoplasty.
Accurate placement of intranasal incisions to achieve external alar symmetry is difficult. A detailed anatomical knowledge of intranasal anatomy is required to allow an appropriate incision to be made within the nasal vestibule. By marking the level of the intracartilaginous incision on the external surface using a pair of alice forceps, the marking is subsequently transferred onto the vestibul...
متن کاملWIDER Working Paper No. 2013/020 Aid and poverty: Why does aid not address poverty (much)?
Aid is not generally aimed at the poorest people, though most multilateral or bilateral agencies would like to think they get included. However, donors’ strategies are generally blind to differentiation among the poor, and have not improved in this respect. The special provisions for the least developed countries, where many of the poorest people live, have not worked well. Aid to conflict-affe...
