conservation. However, those reviews do not include evaluation of whether the …

While the relatively stable land use and land cover (LULC) patterns is an important feature of
protected areas (PAs), the influence of this feature on future species distribution and the …

Up to now, global conservation priorities are far from incorporating megadiverse invertebrate
taxa. Thus, an important emerging field in biological conservation is how we might manage …
