Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution 2020 Highlights
Author: Mark A. Elgar
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889666077
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
If nothing else, 2020 reminded us that, whether we like it or not, human society forms part of a broader ecological community that includes species with management challenges. My experience in Melbourne highlighted how environmental threats to humanity are best managed when governments adopt evidence-based strategies (that might also require incentives for human cooperation). Fundamental research, ranging from quantitative natural history to broader insights about ecological and evolutionary processes, invariably forms the backbone of such evidence. The collection of papers in this 2020 Highlights eBook represents a sample of articles in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution that contribute to our collective wisdom in the discipline and generated sizeable interest among our readers. We hope you also find them interesting.

Advances in the Conservation of Large Terrestrial Mammals
Author: R. Terry Bowyer
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832549535
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Large mammals are threatened worldwide. Life histories characterized by long life spans, delayed age at first reproduction, iteroparity, small litter sizes, high maternal investment in offspring, and long generation times expose many iconic large mammals to elevated risks of extinction. Among these risks are habitat loss, habitat degradation, escalating threats of climate change, illegal killing, disease, or inbreeding. Comprehending the threats faced by large mammals, and exploring how to counter those challenges effectively, are important steps toward conserving wild populations now and in the near future.

Effective Conservation Science
Author: Peter M. Kareiva
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198808976
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This novel text assembles some of the most intriguing voices in modern conservation biology. Collectively they highlight many of the most challenging questions being asked in conservation science today, each of which will benefit from new experiments, new data, and new analyses. The book's principal aim is to inspire readers to tackle these uncomfortable issues head-on. A second goal is to be reflective and consider how the field has reacted to challenges to orthodoxy, and to what extent have or can these challenges advance conservation science. Furthermore, several chapters discuss how to guard against confirmation bias. The overall goal is that this book will lead to greater conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity by harnessing the engine of constructive scientific scepticism in service of better results.
