Biodiversity loss is a result of interacting ecological and economic factors, and it must be
addressed through an analysis of biodiversity conservation policies. Ecological-economic …

Abstract Purpose of Review We examined recent literature on promoting habitat connectivity
in the context of climate change (CC) and land-use change (LUC). These two global change …

Context Conservation scientists recommend maintaining and restoring ecological
connectivity to sustain biodiversity in the face of land-use and climate change. Alternative …

Aim Changes in land use and cover (hereafter land use) affect freshwater ecosystems at
different spatial scales. We tested the effects of land use on the dispersal capacity of stream …

The future of biodiversity conservation depends on efforts applied across large landscapes,
the scale at which many key ecological and evolutionary processes take place. Because the …

Plans for expanding protected area systems (prioritizations) often aim to facilitate
connectivity. To achieve this, many approaches—based on different assumptions and …

Abstract Information about biotic interactions (eg competition, predation, parasitism,
diseases, mutualism, allelopathy) is fundamental to better understand species distribution …

Biodiversity hotspots are rich in endemic species and threatened by anthropogenic
influences and, thus, considered priorities for conservation. In this study, conservation …

Small protected areas dominate some databases and are common features of landscapes,
yet their accumulated contributions to biodiversity conservation are not well known. Small …

Context An important output of connectivity science is the identification of priority areas for
the conservation of landscape connectivity. However, current connectivity conservation …
