Assessing Biodiversity Declines Understanding human impact on biodiversity depends sound quantitative projection. Pereira et al. (p. 1496 , published online 26 October) review scenarios that have been developed for four main areas of concern: species extinctions, abundances and community structure, habitat loss degradation, shifts in the distribution biomes. are projected whole 21st century all scenarios, but with a wide range variation. Hoffmann 1503 draw results five decades' worth data...
Species are the fundamental units of biology, ecology and conservation, progress in these fields is therefore hampered by widespread taxonomic bias uncertainty. Numerous operational techniques based on molecular or phenotypic data have been designed to overcome this problem, yet existing procedures remain subjective inconsistent, particularly when applying biological species concept. We address issue developing quantitative methods for a classic technique systematic zoology, namely use...
The world’s tropical forests are being cleared rapidly, and ecologists claim this is causing a massive loss of species. This has its critics. Can we predict extinctions from the extent deforestation? We mapped percentage deforestation on islands Philippines Indonesia counted number bird species found only these islands. then used species‐area relationship to calculate predicted become globally extinct following Next, numbers insular southeast Asian endemic considered threatened—i.e., those...
Considerable resources and efforts have been directed at biodiversity conservation in recent years, but measures of the success programmes limited. Based on information population sizes, trends, threatening processes nature intensity actions implemented during 1994–2004, we assessed that 16 bird species would probably become extinct this period if for them had not undertaken. The mean minimum size these increased from 34 to 147 breeding individuals 1994–2004. In 1994, 63% declining...
Given the increasing rapprochement between aviculture and conservation organizations escalating global crisis in species conservation, we enumerate avian taxa that are subject to, or might most appropriately be considered for, conservation‐breeding programmes. Although overall total, at 257, is only 2·6% of extant avifauna, role for zoos remains crucial. Of this captive breeding judged ‘Necessary’ ‘Integral’ to efforts 45 spp (18%); great majority, it regarded as ‘Precautionary’ ‘Prudent’...
Translocations are an increasingly common tool in conservation. The maintenance of genetic diversity through translocation is critical for both the short- and long-term persistence populations species. However, relative spatio-temporal impacts translocations on neutral functional diversity, how this affects structure among conserved overall, have received little investigation. We compared impact translocating different numbers founders microsatellite major histocompatibility complex (MHC)...
The heavily traded Grey Parrot Psittacus erithacus is believed to have undergone rapid population decline, yet there are almost no quantitative data on abundance changes over time from anywhere within its huge range. We reviewed the species’ historical across Ghana, undertook targeted searches during 3‐ 5‐day visits 42 100‐km 2 cells country's forest zone, repeated counts at 22 parrot roosts first performed two decades ago and gauged around 900 people's perceptions of decline causes. In 150...
Abstract The importance of evolutionary conservation – how understanding forces can help guide decisions is widely recognized. However, the historical demography many endangered species unknown, despite fact that this have important implications for contemporary ecological processes and extinction risk. Here, we reconstruct population history Seychelles warbler ( A crocephalus sechellensis ) an model species. By 1960s, was on brink extinction, but its previous unknown. We used DNA samples...
Summary When species face extinction, captive breeding may be appropriate. However, unsuccessful, while reducing motivation and resources for in situ conservation impacting wild source populations. Despite such risks, decisions are generally taken without rigorous evaluation. We develop an individual‐based, stochastic population model to evaluate the potential effectiveness of captive‐breeding release programmes, illustrated by critically endangered Ardeotis nigriceps Vigors great Indian...
