Abstract: Conservation decisions about how, when, and where to act are typically based on our expectations for the future. When world is highly unpredictable we working from a limited range of expectations, however, will frequently be proved wrong. Scenario planning offers framework developing more resilient conservation policies when faced with uncontrollable, irreducible uncertainty. A scenario in this context an account plausible consists using few contrasting scenarios explore...

The provisioning of sustaining goods and services that we obtain from natural ecosystems is a strong economic justification for the conservation biological diversity. Understanding relationship between these changes in size, arrangement, quality habitats fundamental challenge resource management. In this paper, describe new approach to assessing implications habitat loss ecosystem by examining how provision different dominated species trophic levels. We then develop mathematical model...
In population ecology, there has been a fundamental controversy about the relative importance of competition-driven (density-dependent) regulation vs. abiotic influences such as temperature and precipitation. The same issue arises at community level; are sizes driven primarily by changes in abundances cooccurring competitors (i.e., compensatory dynamics), or do most species have common response to environmental factors? Competitive interactions had central place ecological theory, dating...
Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction and disease emergence, but the negative impacts climate on parasite diversity are undocumented. We compiled most comprehensive spatially explicit data set available for parasites, projected range shifts in changing climate, estimated rates eight major clades. On basis 53,133 occurrences capturing geographic ranges 457 species, conservative model projections suggest that 5 to 10% these species committed by 2070 from...
Protected areas (PAs) remain central to the conservation of biodiversity. Classical PAs were conceived as that would be set aside maintain a natural state with minimal human influence. However, global environmental change and growing cross-scale anthropogenic influences mean can no longer thought ecological islands function independently broader social-ecological system in which they are located. For resilient (and contribute resilience), must able adapt changing social conditions over time...
Summary Anthropogenic stressors affect the ecosystems upon which humanity relies. In some cases when resilience is exceeded, relatively small linear changes in can cause abrupt and nonlinear ecosystems. Ecological regime shifts occur exceeded enter a new local equilibrium that differs its structure function from previous state. resilience, amount of disturbance system withstand before it into an alternative stability domain, important framework for understanding managing ecological systems...
