In a global environment of increasing species extinctions and decreasing availability funds with which to combat the causes biodiversity loss, maximising efficiency conservation efforts is crucial. The only way ensure maximum return on investment incorporate cost, benefit likelihood success actions into decision-making in systematic objective way. Here we report application Project Prioritization Protocol (PPP), first implemented by New Zealand Government, target prioritize threatened South...
Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) have been a feature of global biodiversity targets since 2010 (Aichi Targets, Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework), although the concept has only relatively recently formally defined. Although uptake limited to date, there is much interest in identifying OECMs contribute target protecting at least 30% terrestrial, freshwater and ocean areas by 2030, conjunction with protected areas. Australia long history area development...
We construct a state-and-transition model for mammals in tropical savannas northern Australia to synthesize ecological knowledge and understand mammalian declines. aimed validate the existence of alternative mammal assemblage states similar those arid Australian grasslands, speculate on transition triggers. Based grassland model, we hypothesized that assemblages are partitioned across rainfall gradients between substrates. also predicted typical regions boom periods would be prevalent with...
Surveys for warru (Petrogale lateralis MacDonnell Ranges race) were conducted in targeted areas of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands order to clarify distribution and status taxon South Australia. Presence was determined by animal sightings or fresh scats. The study identified extant sites adjacent known colonies Musgrave Tomkinson Ranges, indicating that, both locations, probably occur as larger metapopulations. highlighted that has disappeared from 93% its former range...
The population dynamics of warru (Petrogale lateralis MacDonnell Ranges race) were studied in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, South Australia, order to inform management and better understand race’s conservation ecology. Mark–recapture between 2005 2010 at three largest known remaining colonies, followed by POPAN modelling, indicated that sizes 23 New Well 24 Alalka Musgrave Ranges, 14 Kalka Tomkinson Ranges. Taking into account recent survey results, study confirmed are...
