Prioritizing Conservation of Ungulate Calving Resources in Multiple-Use Landscapes
BACKGROUND Conserving animal populations in places where human activity is increasing is an ongoing challenge in many parts of the world. We investigated how human activity interacted with maternal status and individual variation in behavior to affect reliability of spatially-explicit models intended to guide conservation of critical ungulate calving resources. We studied Rocky Mountain elk (Ce...
متن کاملPredicting ecological connectivity in urbanizing landscapes
Nearly half the world's population lives in urban centers, and these areas are increasingly important components of regional and global land cover. However, their ecological attributes are often overlooked, despite the presence of species, ecosystem services, and risks associated with the spread of pests or threatening processes such as fire. Movement and dispersal of organisms contribute to sp...
متن کاملVariation in Plumage Coloration of Northern Cardinals in Urbanizing Landscapes
—Biologists know relatively little of how one of the most important avian phenotypic signals, feather coloration, may be affected by anthropogenic changes resulting from urbanization. We examined the relationship between urbanization and carotenoid-based plumage color of Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) in 13 riparian forests distributed across a rural-to-urban landscape gradient in c...
متن کاملPrioritizing multiple-use landscapes for conservation: methods for large multi-species planning problems.
Across large parts of the world, wildlife has to coexist with human activity in highly modified and fragmented landscapes. Combining concepts from population viability analysis and spatial reserve design, this study develops efficient quantitative methods for identifying conservation core areas at large, even national or continental scales. The proposed methods emphasize long-term population pe...
متن کاملThe Application of Ecological Principles to Urban and Urbanizing Landscapes
gene sequencers through advanced computers and networking to global-observing satellites-coupled with keen scientific curiosity present an opportunity for unprecedented advances. Together, we can make ecological science a mainstay of sustainability. While pursuing that goal, we need to ensure that our best efforts are made available to society along the way. The time of science remaining in its...
