Mapping Biodiversity and Setting Conservation Priorities for SE Queensland’s Rainforests Using DNA Barcoding
Australian rainforests have been fragmented due to past climatic changes and more recently landscape change as a result of clearing for agriculture and urban spread. The subtropical rainforests of South Eastern Queensland are significantly more fragmented than the tropical World Heritage listed northern rainforests and are subject to much greater human population pressures. The Australian rainf...
متن کاملGlobal biodiversity conservation priorities.
The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation organizations have proposed nine templates of global priorities over the past decade. Here, we review the concepts, methods, results, impacts, and challenges of these prioritizations of conservation practice within th...
متن کاملDNA Barcoding for Honey Biodiversity
Honey is produced by honeybees from nectar and from secretions of living plants. It reflects the honeybees’ diet and the local plant communities. Honey also shows different plant compositions in different geographical locations. We propose a new method for studying the plant diversity and the geographical origin of honey using a DNA barcoding approach that combines universal primers and massive...
متن کاملGlobal Priorities for Marine Biodiversity Conservation
In recent decades, many marine populations have experienced major declines in abundance, but we still know little about where management interventions may help protect the highest levels of marine biodiversity. We used modeled spatial distribution data for nearly 12,500 species to quantify global patterns of species richness and two measures of endemism. By combining these data with spatial inf...
متن کاملSetting Conservation Priorities – A Key Biodiversity Areas Analysis for the Seychelles Islands
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are areas identified as being important for the conservation of biodiversity due to the presence of threatened species or habitats, or particularly high levels of biodiversity. They are a useful concept for setting site conservation priorities, combining other categories such as biodiversity hotspots, Important Bird Areas and ‘ecoregions’. An analysis of the terres...
