Biogeography and Conservation
There is hardly a region in the world where mycoheterotrophy does not occur. As far as we know, all orchid species are dependent on fungi during germination and early development and are therefore classi fi ed as initial mycoheterotrophs (Chap. 1 ). Orchidaceae have a worldwide distribution and occur in almost every terrestrial ecosystem apart from deserts and permafrosts. The distribution of f...
متن کاملIsland biogeography and conservation: strategy and limitations.
Strategy and Limitations increased catecholamine metabolism) in the central nervous system (10), the hippocampus could be one of the sites of this restoration process. The electrical activity of the hippocampus is unusual. While the rest of the brain shows a desynchronized EEG pattern during attention, learning, and paradoxical sleep, the hippocampus displays a syrichronized electrical activity...
متن کاملIntegrating Conservation and Restoration in a Changing World
Conservation biology and restoration ecology share a common interest in maintaining or enhancing populations, communities, and ecosystems. Much could be gained by more closely integrating the disciplines, but several challenges stand in the way. Goals differ, reflecting different origins and agendas. Because resources are insufficient to meet all needs, priorities must be established. Rapid env...
متن کاملBiotic homogenization: a new research agenda for conservation biogeography
Aim Biotic homogenization describes the process by which species invasions and extinctions increase the genetic, taxonomic or functional similarity of two or more biotas over a specified time interval. The study of biotic homogenization is a young and rapidly emerging research area in the budding field of conservation biogeography, and this paper aims to synthesize our current knowledge of this...
متن کاملBeyond Surrogacy—A Multi-taxon Approach to Conservation Biogeography
Biogeographic analysis of species turnover (b diversity) of plants and animals among regions often yields conflicting results, with regions of high b diversity identified for some taxonomic groups but not others. Such discordance calls into question the use of surrogate taxa to forge conservation plans. This discordance begs for a means of comparing multiple taxa across phyla in a manner that i...
