Using ecological niche modeling to determine avian richness hotspots
Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...
متن کاملTesting the Efficacy of Global Biodiversity Hotspots for Insect Conservation: The Case of South African Katydids
The use of endemism and vascular plants only for biodiversity hotspot delineation has long been contested. Few studies have focused on the efficacy of global biodiversity hotspots for the conservation of insects, an important, abundant, and often ignored component of biodiversity. We aimed to test five alternative diversity measures for hotspot delineation and examine the efficacy of biodiversi...

Indonesia is one of mega biodiversity countries and inhabited by 300.000 animal species including 1,531 bird species which constitutes 15 % of all bird in the world (Mittermeier et al. 1997, Andrew 1992). IUCN recorded 104 bird species to be endangered. In the world, about 350 parrot species are distributed primarily in hotspots of biodiversity such as Brazil, tropical Africa and Indonesia. Thi...
متن کاملIdentifying Carbon Sequestration Hotspots in Semiarid Rangelands (Case study: Baghbazm region of Bardsir city, Kerman province)
Carbon sequestration in rangeland ecosystems has been identified as a suitable strategy to offset greenhouse gas emissions that information of carbon sequestration hotspots is a good tool to improve rangeland management. Objectives for this study were to assessment potential carbon sequestration in various rangeland types, to identify carbon sequestration hotspots and to study the effective fact...
متن کاملThe Importance of Rotational Crops for Biodiversity Conservation in Mediterranean Areas
Nowadays we are seeing the largest biodiversity loss since the extinction of the dinosaurs. To conserve biodiversity it is essential to plan protected areas using a prioritization approach, which takes into account the current biodiversity value of the sites. Considering that in the Mediterranean Basin the agro-ecosystems are one of the most important parts of the landscape, the conservation of...
