A

15
Q

Diagnosing bird pop declines EXTERNAL

A

Green 1195 Ibis

16
Q

Rodrigues

A

Seems to be decrease in bird extinctions in 20-21st century - due to extinctions underestimated (lag of diagnosis due to Romeo error) But have identified 31 spp saved by conservation

17
Q

Hoegh-Guldberg - science

A

Low latitude population introductions to deal with higher temps as broader thermal tolerance - stag horn coral e.g.
Consider socio-econimic concerns, large carnivores or toxic plants to livestock area - ex situ conservation = store frozen gametes

18
Q

Pearson et al

A

Evolutionary change affecting spp distributions

  • bush crickets showed increased fraction of longer-winged individuals in populations = greater dispersal ability
  • not recognised by envelope model
19
Q

Caughley

A

DPP needs more theory to successfully apply, and SPP needs more practice, not very useful for endangered spp

20
Q

Hendrick et al

A

Comments on Caughley
-SPP provides useful theory and background for principles and experiment ideas to be tested for diagnosis of causes, providing guidance to conservation efforts - the Florida panther

21
Q

Ewers et al

A

Effects of fragmentation are magnified when there are interactions with CC, human-altered disturbance and spp interactions
Dont know long-term impacts of fragmentation as its recent

22
Q

Naidoo et al

A

Carbon storage and sequestration globally disposed and don’t depend on local beneficiaries - highest in low-human-density and high-biodiversity wilderness areas
Water provision and grassland production of livestock benefits with people closer
-lack of spatial concordance with biodiversity and ESs

23
Q

Brooks et al

A

Challenges with current prioritisation strategies
•not incorperate of megadiverse invertebrate taxa
•aquatic systems feature poorly in these, only 1 explicitly incorporates these systems
•freshwater priorities and effort to identify them lag even further behind

24
Q

Marvier

A

PAs not enough - extinction still high
-need community support in them, otherwise they will be downgraded and downsized
Need to reach wider population by demonstrating and teaching ppl of benefits of wildlife - as they don’t want to protect it for its own sake
Need to welcome diverse people with diverse motivations for protecting nature

25
Q

Haddad et al

A

No support found for negative effects of corridors - are small and manageable, outweighed by positive effects
-no effects of predators or pathogens from corridors
(but predator studies don’t look at prey populations)
-no evidence for unwanted distrubances or non-native species invasion (but not been well studied)
no support due to lack of sufficient data?

26
Q

Rodrigues et al

A

Very useful not only for determination of threats but the data it gives you on the spp
•Needs more funding and standardisation to increase data - lack of data on spp big problem, and lack of taxonomic knowledge problem too

27
Q

Cahill et al

A

Approaches for finding proximate causes:
-document local extinctions
-test whether pops gone extinction by comparing past and present ranges
-survey these areas (transects) around ranges where could be limited by climatic factors
-resurvey (avoid Romeo error)
-determine if related to global CC trends
-correlative analyses of which causes involved
-test with mechanistic analyses
(physiological tolerances etc.)

28
Q

Green

A

Correlative trends may be misleading if birds can move between selected areas of comparison
-manipulative experiments should be carried out

29
Q

Isabell et al

A

plant diversity = more ESs

  • 87% of 147 plant species promoted ecosystem functioning at least once
  • in different years, places, in different functions and under different environmental change scenarios
30
Q

Chen

A

Estimated shifts of spp to higher elevation 2-3x faster than previously reported
Greatest movements where the highest levels of warming were shown - shifts being sufficient to track temperature changes
-internal spp traits and external drivers important too as there is variability

31
Q

Venables et al

A

Demonstrated the economic value of manta ray and whale shark species in Momzabique to government, as people willing to pay large amounts of money to dive there - ecotourism ESs to try and enhance their conservation status and prevent exploitation
