Many sea turtle populations are recovering, highlighting the value of conservation efforts and long-term monitoring.
Biological invasions threaten biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, requiring substantial conservation management efforts. To examine how the planning literature addresses biological if environment could benefit from experiences terrestrial systems, we conducted a global systematic review. Out of 1149 scientific articles mentioning both 'conservation planning' 'alien' or any its alternative terms, 70 met our selection criteria. Most studies were related to...
Given the accelerating rate of biodiversity loss, need to prioritize marine areas for protection represents a major conservation challenge. The three-dimensionality life and ecosystems is an inherent element complexity setting spatial plans. Yet, confidence any recommendation largely depends on shifting climate, which triggers global redistribution biodiversity, suggesting inclusion time as fourth dimension. Here, we developed depth-specific prioritization analysis inform design protected...
Abstract The Natura 2000 network forms the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation strategy European Union and is largest coordinated protected areas (PAs) in world. Here, we demonstrated that fails to adequately cover marine environment meet target 10% set by Convention on Biological Diversity. relative percentage surface varies significantly among member states. Interestingly, seascape was lower for states with larger exclusive economic zones. Our analyses vast majority (93%) sites waters...
Identification of important habitats charismatic marine megafauna is essential to enhance our conservation capacity. Still, for species such as sea turtles that have a long-life span, complex life history and highly migratory nature, spatially delineating areas not simple task. Even in the case are identified, ability draw effective measures propose prioritization schemes faces additional challenges, due dynamic climate-driven redistribution habitats. Here, we compile database on foraging...
Abstract Terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems are connected via multiple biophysical ecological processes. Identifying quantifying links among is necessary for the uptake of integrated conservation actions across realms. Such particularly important species using habitats in more than one realm during their daily or life cycle. We reviewed information on 2,408 European concern found that 30% use Transportation service corridors, which fragment habitats, were identified as most...
Understanding how the ecological niches of species are formulated across space is critical for modeling current and predicting future distributions under climate change. Here, we examine stable realized distinct populations endangered green sea turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) which defined on basis genetic demographic data distributed around globe. We used 906 georeferenced records nesting sites that embedded within eight Regional Management Units to compare climatic niche each one units. an...
Abstract Aim Identifying processes that determine climatic niche dynamics is difficult, especially for wide‐ranging species where conservatism might differ at different life stages. Evolutionary history shapes niche, with populations of the same or phylogenetically close occupying similar conditions. However, geographical separation also leads to evolution as an adaptive response local Here, we use five sea turtle (loggerhead, green, leatherback, hawksbill, olive ridley) test whether short‐...
Climate change impacts on vertebrates have many implications. The thermal conditions of during incubation are known to influence morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits. Thus, temperatures consequences for ecological evolutionary processes, certain reptiles can determine sex. For oviparous reptiles, information the environment nests is often used estimate sex ratio, metabolic heat, their effects hatching success. This critical baseline not always available all species in regions,...
