Population and geographic range dynamics: implications for conservation planning.
Continuing downward trends in the population sizes of many species, in the conservation status of threatened species, and in the quality, extent and connectedness of habitats are of increasing concern. Identifying the attributes of declining populations will help predict how biodiversity will be impacted and guide conservation actions. However, the drivers of biodiversity declines have changed ...
متن کاملGeographic Information Science Implications for Urban and Regional Planning
This paper was prepared in response to the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) 1999 Summer Assembly application challenge. The purpose of that challenge was to review the achievements and implications of geographic information science relevant to urban and regional planning. The review identified five areas of geographic information science contributions: geographic...
متن کاملTemporal dynamics of nutrition, parasitism, and stress in colobus monkeys: implications for population regulation and conservation.
The need to develop conservation plans calls for the ability to identify ecological factors that influence population density. Because stress is known to affect fecundity and mortality, increasing stress may provide a warning of potential population declines. We examined the effects of temporal variation in nutrition and parasitism on stress in endangered red colobus monkeys in Kibale National ...
متن کاملEcological correlates and conservation implications of overestimating species geographic ranges.
Species range maps based on extents of occurrence (EOO maps) have become the basis for many analyses in broad-scale ecology and conservation. Nevertheless, EOO maps are usually highly interpolated and overestimate small-scale occurrence, which may bias research outcomes. We evaluated geographical range overestimation and its potential ecological causes for 1158 bird species by quantifying EOO m...
متن کاملRange-wide analysis of wildlife habitat: Implications for conservation
The range-wide habitat status of many endangered species is unclear. We evaluated the status and spatial distribution of the habitat of the endangered giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) across its entire geographic range (i.e., six mountain regions located in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, China) by integrating field and remotely sensed data to develop a habitat distribution model. Res...
