The rapid global spread and human health impacts of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, show humanity's vulnerability to zoonotic disease pandemics. Although anthropogenic land use change is known be major driver pathogen spillover from wildlife populations, scientific underpinnings use-induced have rarely been investigated landscape perspective. We call for interdisciplinary collaborations advance knowledge on implications emergence with a view toward informing decisions needed...
Abstract A series of vegetation changes take place in tropical ecosystems during the Pennsylvanian Subperiod. The most notable change, recognizable from palynology and plant macrofossils at Middle Late boundary Illinois Basin, is extirpation, or local extinction, certain lineages arborescent lycopsids, followed by their replacement stem group marattialean tree ferns. leading hypothesis suggests a significant change precipitation regime as cause. To test this hypothesis, we examine vascular...
The rapid, global spread and human health impacts of SARS-CoV-2, the agent COVID-19 disease, demonstrates humanity's vulnerability to zoonotic disease pandemics. Although anthropogenic land use change is known be major driver pathogen spillover from wildlife populations, scientific underpinnings use-induced have rarely been investigated macro-ecology perspective. We call on colleagues advance our knowledge implications for emergence. A wide range disciplinary cosmologies, approaches, tools...
The theory and practice of connectivity conservation have matured, we are now at the point where intentional, landscape-scale ecological networks poised to play an indispensable role in drive protect conserve least 30% Earth's lands waters by 2030. Clearly, achieving "30x30" goal is urgent matter as a big step toward what nature needs. stark conclusions latest IPCC report leave no doubt that 2020s will be decisive decade for planet, there broad scientific agreement biodiversity climate...
In response to recent alignment of political leadership in Canada and the United States with respect global nature conservation imperatives, a nascent intentional dialogue has emerged on transboundary connectivity between two countries. February April 2021, meetings were remotely convened, bringing together more than 160 participants from key government agencies, non-governmental organizations Indigenous Nations engaged both Participants generated 25 concrete ideas for next steps 11 broad...
With increasing threats facing ecosystems around the world, conservationists are looking for innovative approaches to address complex nature of transboundary issues. Large landscape conservation (LLC) extends beyond protected area boundaries and potentially national borders. Though recognition LLC is growing, we have a limited understanding what supports or inhibits efforts across diverse geographies, which limits efficacy as strategy combat ecological threats. Networks can provide support...
Despite increasing expertise and resources for planning ecological corridors, initiatives face implementation challenges in integrating science governance. The coproductive capacities framework identifies normative, cognitive, social, material factors that support scientifically-informed action. This study asked how enable transition from to the Sangay-Podocarpus Connectivity Corridor (Corredor de Conectividad Sangay-Podocarpus; CCSP), Ecuador's first designated corridor, linking multiple...
Author(s): Schuver, Austin; Oppler, Gabriel | Abstract: This visual essay in "The Photographer's Frame" explores aspects of the natural and cultural complexity that is a hallmark large landscape conservation.
