As systems of marine protected areas (MPAs) expand globally, there is a risk that new MPAs
will be biased toward places that are remote or unpromising for extractive activities, and …

Vast gaps in available information on the spatial distribution of biodiversity pose a major
challenge for regional conservation planning in many parts of the world. This problem is …

The Cape Floristic Region of South Africa is a global biodiversity hotspot. In 1998, a process
of conservation planning began in the region that required quantitative targets for …

Studies of wetlands in Australia, as in other countries, have taken a wide variety of
approaches to defining, surveying and classifying these environments. Past and current …

This paper demonstrates how the power form of the Species–Area Relationship (SAR) can
be used to set conservation targets for land classes using biodiversity survey data. The log …

Classifications that group rivers and streams with similar ecological characteristics are used
increasingly to underpin conservation and resource management planning. Uses include …

Native vegetation of the NSW south coast, escarpment and southeast tablelands was
classified into 191 floristic assemblages at a level of detail appropriate for the discrimination …

Twenty-two vascular plant communities occurring on, and adjacent to the Cumberland Plain
and Hornsby Plateau, are defined using a multi-variate analysis of quantitative field survey …

Geographic isolation substantially contributes to species endemism on oceanic islands
when speciation involves the colonisation of a new island. However, less is understood …

Cell identity is specified by a core transcriptional regulatory circuitry (CoRC), typically limited
to a small set of interconnected cell‐specific transcription factors (TFs). By mining global …
