Most conservation planning to date has focused on protecting today's biodiversity with the
assumption that it will be tomorrow's biodiversity. However, modern climate change has …

Geodiversity—the variability of Earth's surface materials, forms, and physical processes—is
an integral part of nature and crucial for sustaining ecosystems and their services. It provides …

Climate change and habitat fragmentation are considered key pressures on biodiversity. In
this paper we explore the potential synergetic effects between these factors. We argue that …

The field of conservation aims to protect biodiversity—the diversity of life on earth in all its
forms. Traditional conservation objectives and measures have already been expanded and …

With the loss of biodiversity has come increasing debate as to how best to preserve it.
Conservation strategies have largely focused on patterns of diversi? ty, or how to maximize …

In a rapidly changing climate, conservation practitioners could better use geodiversity in a
broad range of conservation decisions. We explored selected avenues through which this …

Conservation biology has traditionally focused on the fine scale and the species level of
biological organization (Soule and Wilcox 1980), and biotic conservation is only one of the …

Climate change is among the greatest challenges to biodiversity conservation globally. In
response to climatic changes, species around the world have already started to shift their …

Protected areas are key conservation tools for biodiversity management, but they are failing
to protect species from current climate change. Focusing on protected areas representing …

Species ranges are seldom at equilibrium with climate, because several interacting factors
determine distribution, including demographic processes, dispersal, land use, disturbance …
