Une nouvelle recherche fait le point sur l’extinction des espèces animales... et leur redécouverte

Une nouvelle recherche fait le point sur l’extinction des espèces animales... et leur redécouverte | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
Il existe des centaines d’espèces disparues à travers le monde et leur nombre augmente de décennie en décennie. Pourquoi certaines espèces sont redécouvertes, alors que d’autres ne le sont pas ?

Mammal assemblage composition predicts global patterns in emerging infectious disease risk - Wang - Global Change Biology

Mammal assemblage composition predicts global patterns in emerging infectious disease risk - Wang - Global Change Biology | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

As a source of emerging infectious diseases, wildlife assemblages (and related spatial patterns) must be quantitatively assessed to help identify high-risk locations. Previous assessments have largely focussed on the distributions of individual species; however, transmission dynamics are expected to depend on assemblage composition. Moreover, disease–diversity relationships have mainly been studied in the context of species loss, but assemblage composition and disease risk (e.g. infection prevalence in wildlife assemblages) can change without extinction.

Faunal Species Conservation in the Melanesian Pacific Islands

Faunal Species Conservation in the Melanesian Pacific Islands | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
This special issue focuses on the species conservation and management of microfauna in the developing Melanesian Pacific Islands. This special issue of Pacific Conservation Biology focuses on the species conservation and management of macrofauna in the developing Melanesian Pacific Islands, and spans marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. It includes new information related to known species as well as collations on species groups that are not well documented but are highly threatened.

Anticiper les changements futurs pour protéger les oiseaux d’eau en Méditerranée

Anticiper les changements futurs pour protéger les oiseaux d’eau en Méditerranée | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
Près de 500 zones humides méditerranéennes fortement menacées par le changement climatique et la perte des milieux naturels futurs ne sont toujours pas protégées, parmi lesquelles 32 présentent un enjeu majeur pour la conservation des oiseaux d’eau. Ces résultats ont été publiés dans la revue scientifique Biological Conservation et coordonnés par l’Institut de recherche pour […]

Non-material costs of wildlife conservation to local people and their implications for conservation interventions - ScienceDirect

•Current research on the costs of wildlife conservation tends to focus on material aspect of human well-being.

•Limited studies on non-material costs are characterised by conceptual ambiguity, which limits comparability.

•A better understanding of non-material costs of wildlife conservation can improve wildlife conservation.

•We define, categorizeand characterize non-material costs of wildlife conservation. 

•Implications for measuring non-material costs and designing socially just conservation interventions are discussed.
