ABSTRACT Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation are key drivers of global species loss. Their effects may be understood by focusing on: (1) individual the processes threatening them, (2) human‐perceived landscape patterns their correlation with assemblages. Individual decline as a result interacting exogenous endogenous threats, including loss, degradation, isolation, changes in biology, behaviour, interactions species, well additional, stochastic threats. Human‐perceived that...
Anthropogenic trade and development have broken down dispersal barriers, facilitating the spread of diseases that threaten Earth's biodiversity. We present a global, quantitative assessment amphibian chytridiomycosis panzootic, one most impactful examples disease spread, demonstrate its role in decline at least 501 species over past half-century, including 90 presumed extinctions. The effects been greatest large-bodied, range-restricted anurans wet climates Americas Australia. Declines...

Abstract: The conservation of biological diversity has become one the important goals managing forests in an ecologically sustainable way. Ecologists and forest resource managers need measures to judge success or failure management regimes designed sustain diversity. relationships between potential indicator species total biodiversity are not well established. Carefully studies required test presence abundance other taxa maintenance critical ecosystem processes forests. Other indicators...
While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those - matrix are equally important to preserving global maintaining forest health. In this volume, leading scientists David B. Lindenmayer Jerry F. Franklin argue that of requires a comprehensive multiscaled approach includes both reserve non-reserve areas. They lay foundations for such strategy, bringing together latest scientific information landscape...
From analysis of published global site biomass data (n = 136) from primary forests, we discovered (i) the world's highest known total carbon density (living plus dead) 1,867 tonnes per ha (average value 13 sites) occurs in Australian temperate moist Eucalyptus regnans and (ii) average values were higher for sampled forests 44) than tropical 36) boreal 52) is number sites forest biome).

The majority of the world's forests are used for multiple purposes, which often include potentially conflicting goals timber production and biodiversity conservation. A scientifically validated management approach that can reduce such conflicts is retention forestry, an modeled on natural processes, emerged in last 25 years as alternative to clearcutting. portion original stand left unlogged maintain continuity structural compositional diversity. We detail forestry's ecological role, review...
The loss of large old trees in many ecosystems around the world poses a threat to ecosystem integrity.
Dispersal is a fundamental process that influences the response of species to landscape change and habitat fragmentation. In an attempt better understand dispersal in Australian bush rat, Rattusfuscipes, we have combined new multilocus autocorrelation method with hypervariable microsatellite genetic markers investigate fine‐scale (<1 km) patterns spatial distribution structure. The study was conducted across eight trapping transects at four sites, total 270 animals sampled. Spatial analysis...
