The role of culture in conservation planning for small or endangered populations.
The role of culture in population structuring has received much recent attention (e.g., Slabbekoorn & Smith 2002; Freeberg 2004); for example, the 2005 International Mammal Congress (http://www.imc9.jp/) had a full symposium on the topic. The idea that culturally significant units (CSUs) should be considered in conservation planning is recent (Whitehead et al. 2004). But how generalizable is th...

The North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) provides a facilitative body for Canada, Mexico, and the United States to address common environmental concerns and promote biodiversity conservation. The CEC is implementing a North American Marine Protected Areas Network (NAMPAN) with a wide array of partners in governmental and nongovernmental sectors in order to protect marin...
متن کاملA graph-theory framework for evaluating landscape connectivity and conservation planning.
Connectivity of habitat patches is thought to be important for movement of genes, individuals, populations, and species over multiple temporal and spatial scales. We used graph theory to characterize multiple aspects of landscape connectivity in a habitat network in the North Carolina Piedmont (U.S.A). We compared this landscape with simulated networks with known topology, resistance to disturb...
متن کاملEvaluating the potential for conservation development: biophysical, economic, and institutional perspectives.
The widespread conversion of rural land to low-density residential development poses an immediate threat to biodiversity and to the provision of ecosystem services. Given that development will continue and environmental stakes are high, analyzing alternative growth strategies is critical. Conservation development is one such strategy that has the potential to benefit ecosystems and diverse stak...
متن کاملInterpreting beta-diversity components over time to conserve metacommunities in highly dynamic ecosystems.
The concept of metacommunity (i.e., a set of local communities linked by dispersal) has gained great popularity among community ecologists. However, metacommunity research mostly addresses questions on spatial patterns of biodiversity at the regional scale, whereas conservation planning requires quantifying temporal variation in those metacommunities and the contributions that individual (local...
