A 2021 Horizon Scan of Emerging Global Biological Conservation Issues
Sutherland, William; Atkinson, Helen; Broad, Steven; Brown, Sam; Clout, Mick; Dias, Maria P.; Dicks, Lynn V.; Doran, Helen; Fleishman, EricaWe present the results from our 12th annual horizon scan of issues likely to impact biological conservation in the future. From a list of 97 topics, our global panel of 25 scientists and practitioners identified the top 15 issues that we believe society may urgently need to address. These issues are either novel in the biological conservation sector or represent a substantial positive or negative step-change in...
A horizon scan of emerging global biological conservation issues for 2020
Sutherland, William; Dias, Maria P.; Dicks, Lynn V.; Doran, Helen; Entwistle, Abigail C.; Fleishman, Erica; Gibbons, David W.; Hails, RosieIn this horizon scan, we highlight 15 emerging issues of potential relevance to global conservation in 2020. Seven relate to potentially extensive changes in vegetation or ecological systems. These changes are either relatively new, for example, conversion of kelp forests to simpler macroalgal systems, or may occur in the future, for example, as a result of the derivation of nanocelluose from wood or the rapid ...
Coefficient shifts in geographical ecology: an empirical evaluation of spatial ...
Bini, L. Mauricio; Diniz-Filho, J. Alexandre F.; Rangel, Thiago F. L. V. B.; Akre, Thomas S. B.; Albaladejo, Rafael G.; Albuquerque, Fabio S.A major focus of geographical ecology and macro ecology is to understand the causes of spatially structured ecological patterns. However, achieving this understanding can be complicated when using multiple regressions, because the relative importance of explanatory variables, as measured by regression coefficients, can shift depending on whether spatially explicit or non-spatial modelling is used. However, the ...
