Pelicice, Fernando Mayer; Agostinho, Angelo Antonio; Akama, Alberto; Andrade Filho, José Dilermando; Azevedo-Santos, Valter M. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:42:34Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-10-01; The Tocantins-Araguaia Basin is one of the largest river systems in South America, located entirely within Brazilian territory. In the last decades, capital-concentrating activities such as agribusiness, mining, and hydropower promoted extensive changes in land cover, hydrology, and environmental condit...
Integrating economic costs and biological traits into global conservation prior...
Loyola, Rafael Dias; Santos, Luiz Gustavo Rodrigues Oliveira; Almeida Neto, Mário; Nogueira, Denise Martins; Kubota, UmbertoBackground: Prioritization schemes usually highlight species-rich areas, where many species are at imminent risk of extinction. To be ecologically relevant these schemes should also include species biological traits into area-setting methods. Furthermore, in a world of limited funds for conservation, conservation action is constrained by land acquisition costs. Hence, including economic costs into conservation ...
Multi-objective optimization in systematic conservation planning and the repres...
Santos, Shana Schlottfeldt; Walter, Maria Emília Machado Telles; Carvalho, André Carlos Ponce de Leon Ferreira de; Soares, Thannya NascimentoBiodiversity crises have led scientists to develop strategies for achieving conservation goals. The underlying principle of these strategies lies in systematic conservation planning (SCP), in which there are at least 2 conflicting objectives, making it a good candidate for multi-objective optimization. Although SCP is typically applied at the species level (or hierarchically higher), it can be used at lower hie...

Priorização de ecorregiões para a conservação de vertebrados terrestres
Loyola, Rafael DiasOrientador: Thomas Michael Lewinsohn; Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Biologia; Resumo: Procurei identificar prioridades de conservação para vertebrados terrestres em diferentes escalas geográficas (da regional/continental à global), usando ecorregiões como unidades geográficas. Mais especificamente, avaliei (1) a correlação entre riqueza e endemismo exibida por vertebrados te...
