Theory for designing nature reserves for single species.
We examine the question of the optimal number of reserves that should be established to maximize the persistence of a species. We assume that the mean time to extinction of a single population increases as a power of the habitat area, that there is a certain amount of habitat to be reserved, and that the aim is to determine how this habitat is most efficiently divided. The optimal configuration...
متن کاملLogic for designing nature reserves for multiple species.
We examine the logic of designing nature reserves to understand better how to integrate the concepts of representativeness and persistence. Simple models of viability are used to evaluate how the expected number of species in the reserve system changes with variation in the risk of extinction among species, their rate of occurrence, and the distribution of species. The optimal size of individua...
متن کاملTheory and Design of Nature Reserves
Managing landscapes In a 2008 review, David Lindenmayer and a long list of distinguished conservation biologists review two decades of research on landscape management [5]. They identify a set of 13 factors that anyone managing a landscape for conservation should consider, and they group those factors under four boad themes: setting goals, spatial issues, temporal issues, and management approac...
متن کاملDesigning nature reserves in the face of uncertainty.
Conservation reserves are a fundamental tool for managing biodiversity. The so-called SLOSS debate--should we have a Single Large Or Several Small reserves - is central to conservation theory. Population dynamic models suggest that the design that minimizes the risk of extinction of a species is case-specific, with the optimal number of reserves ranging between one and very many. Uncertainty is...
متن کاملNew tools for designing effective marine reserves
Marine reserves represent an emerging management tool, and are a challenge to the application of basic marine ecology to applied problems. Although some aspects of reserve science are extensively researched, new information on reserves is badly needed in at least two major areas 1) the impact that reserves have on the ecosystems in which they are imbedded, and 2) the way we can use complex ecol...
