Limiting climate change to less than 2°C is the focus of international policy under convention (UNFCCC), and essential preventing extinctions, a Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The post‐2020 biodiversity framework drafted by CBD proposes conserving 30% both land oceans 2030. However, combined impact extinction risk species from limiting increasing extent protected conserved areas has not been assessed. Here we create conservation spatial plans minimize in tropics using data 289 219...
Conservation planning is crucial for megadiverse countries where biodiversity coupled with incomplete reserve systems and limited resources to invest in conservation. Using Peru as an example of a country, we asked whether the national system protected areas satisfies conservation needs. Further, complement existing system, identified prioritized potential using combination species distribution modeling, connectivity analysis. Based on set 2,869 species, including mammals, birds, amphibians,...
Abstract Ecuador will experience a significant expansion of the oil industry in its Amazonian region, one most biodiverse areas world. In view changes that are about to come, we explore conflicts between extraction interests and biodiversity protection apply systematic conservation planning identify priority should be protected different exploitation scenarios. First, quantified current extent blocks zones their overlap with two indicators: 25 ecosystems 745 species (whose distributions were...
Abstract Climate change research often relies on downscaled general circulation models (GCM), projections of future scenarios that are used to build ecological and evolutionary models. With more than 35 different GCMs widely available at a resolution 10 km finer, standardized methods understand the differences among GCM in region interest choose which use for analysis essential maximize relevance policy assure proper treatment uncertainty. To help researchers policymakers select form range...
Abstract Most existing protected area networks are biased to protect charismatic species or landscapes. We hypothesized that conservation designed include unseen biodiversity—species rich groups consist of inconspicuous taxa, affected by knowledge gaps—are more efficient than ignore these groups. To test this hypothesis, we generated distribution models for 3006 arthropod determine which were represented in three different sizes and biogeographic origin. assessed the efficiency each network...
The intensification and expansion of croplands are among the greatest threats to biodiversity, but likely responses these changes remain unknown for most species. Using data on 862 bird species in yields arable crops, we extrapolate vulnerability agriculture world's other terrestrial birds based their traits taxonomy. We estimate that 74-78% globally suffer population declines where natural habitats replaced by croplands, over half cannot persist cropland at even lowest current yields. Past...
Abstract Aim Mediterranean Chile is part of the five recognized mediterranean‐type climates in world and harbours a very rich floral diversity. Climate change has been reported as significant threat to its biodiversity. We used flora analyse how biodiversity patterns, measured by phylogenetic diversity, genus species richness will respond climate scenarios identify areas that harbour greatest evolutionary potential richness. also evaluated these spatial patterns are depicted within current...
Abstract Background and Aims Decompensated‐cirrhosis encompasses several stages with different prognosis, such as bleeding, ascites bleeding‐plus‐ascites. Development of further‐decompensation worsens survival, while non‐selective β‐blockers (NSBBs) can modify the risk. However, how this applies to each stage is uncertain. We aimed investigate, in decompensated‐cirrhosis, influence on mortality whether changes portal‐pressure (HVPG) under NSBBs these outcomes. Methods Patients variceal...
Growth rate, soluble protein content, osmotic stress and digestive enzyme activity were studied in early Litopenaeus schmitti postlarvae under different feeding regimens, by partially or completely replacing Artemia nauplii with Moina micrura. was significantly higher the fed a mixture of M. micrura, algae (0.030 mg dry weight (dw) larva−1 day−1, 17.4 ± 2.1% day−1), together on (0.027 dw 18.3 1.9% day−1). Complete replacement micrura produced lowest growth rate (0.018 14.3 1.6% day−1)...
Carvedilol is a non-selective β-blocker (NSBBs) with anti-α1-adrenergic activity, more effective than traditional NSBBs in reducing portal-pressure (HVPG). However, 35%-45% of patients still have insufficient HVPG-decrease. Statins ameliorate endothelial dysfunction, reduce hepatic vascular resistance, and pleiotropic effects. We investigated whether the addition simvastatin improves efficacy carvedilol on HVPG cirrhosis severe portal-hypertension suboptimal response to traditional-NSBBs.
Abstract Aim Long‐distance dispersal research in plants has long been dominated by the assumption that an association between plant diaspore adaptations and related transport vectors (standard dispersal) determines success of colonization. However, role a biogeographic context is being increasingly questioned, as evidence reveals unspecialized have successful colonizers recurrent non‐standard dispersal. We studied wind oceanic currents for long‐distance Americas Galápagos Islands with focus...
Abstract While the importance of ecosystem integrity has long been recognised (Leopold, 1949), conservation science tended to focus on measuring and monitoring species habitats, avoiding complexities working at level. Ecosystems are highly dynamic, defined by both living non-living components as well their interactions (CBD, 1992), making it difficult assess baseline levels integrity. We present a novel index that represents all terrestrial ecosystems globally 1km 2 resolution: Ecosystem...
Abstract Protected area (PA) extent has increased significantly over the last 150 years globally, but it is yet unclear whether progress in expanding coverage been accompanied by improved performance ecological representation. Here, we explore temporal trends of PA networks representing > 16,000 vertebrate and plant species tropical Andean countries based on bioclimatic niche modelling. We use a randomization analysis to assess representation gains time (1937–2015) are expected...
Conservationists have long argued that inadequate funding for managing protected areas (PAs) jeopardizes their ability to achieve conservation goals. However, this claim has rarely been substantiated by quantitative evaluations. To address this, we examined the impact of on PA effectiveness both at scale 17 national systems across Latin America and within a system (Ecuador), which had precise historical financial data. Most PAs reduced deforestation between 2000 2010, demonstrating crucial...
Species distribution models (SDMs) are popular tools for predicting the geographic ranges of species. It is common practice to use georeferenced records obtained from online databases generate these models. Using three species Phaedranassa (Amaryllidaceae) Northern Andes, we compare as predicted by SDMs based on (after standard data cleaning) with confirmed through extensive field searches. We also review identification herbarium collections. The species’ generated corroborated did not agree...
Abstract Ecosystems degradation, and consequently biodiversity loss, has severe impacts on people around the world. The Intergovernmental Platform Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is one of international initiatives that have emerged to inform policy makers aid decisions prevent further global focusing interdependence between natural systems human culture. IPBES promotes use scenarios modelling approaches as a fundamental tool advance understanding relationships drivers change,...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi averiguar se existe relação entre a qualidade percebida e o abandono desportivo. A população objeto de estudo foram 1.109 adolescentes. método coleta dados questionário EPOD. Na análise dos utilizadas as técnicas estatísticas tabelas contingência, comparação médias, correlações regressão linear. Os resultados mostraram que 40% adolescentes abandonaram desporto é boa, sendo os "treinadores" mais valorizado "espaços" esportivos menos valorizados. demonstram do...
