Ecoregion Prioritization Suggests an Armoury Not a Silver Bullet for Conservation Planning
In the face of accelerating species extinctions, map-based prioritization systems are increasingly useful to decide where to pursue conservation action most effectively. However, a number of seemingly inconsistent schemes have emerged, mostly focussing on endemism. Here we use global vertebrate distributions in terrestrial ecoregions to evaluate how continuous and categorical ranking schemes ta...
متن کاملGeophysics Is Not a Silver Bullet, but Worth a Shot.
Hydrogeologists have long been interested in using geophysical measurements to answer questions about the Earth. Originally used to find ore bodies or oil and gas, geophysics’ sensitivity to water was originally considered a nuisance. While looking for metallic ore using electricalinduced polarization, for instance, early geophysicists found that groundwater controlled most of the measured sign...
متن کاملPls: a Silver Bullet?
We are writing this editorial because it appears to us that some researchers in the Information Systems community view partial least squares modeling (PLS; also referred to as path analysis with composites or soft modeling) as some type of magical silver bullet. These researchers are less critical about the use of PLS than they should be. In spite of cautiously proposed rules of thumb available...
متن کاملA method for spatial freshwater conservation prioritization
1. Freshwater ecosystems are amongst the most threatened and poorly protected globally. They continue to be degraded through habitat loss, pollution and invading species and conservation measures are urgently needed to halt declining trends in their biodiversity and integrity. 2. During the past decade a suite of decision support tools and computational approaches have been developed for effici...
متن کاملMulti-Action Planning for Threat Management: A Novel Approach for the Spatial Prioritization of Conservation Actions
Planning for the remediation of multiple threats is crucial to ensure the long term persistence of biodiversity. Limited conservation budgets require prioritizing which management actions to implement and where. Systematic conservation planning traditionally assumes that all the threats in priority sites are abated (fixed prioritization approach). However, abating only the threats affecting the...
