Connectivity underpins the persistence of life; it needs to inform biodiversity conservation
decisions. Yet, when prioritising conservation areas and develo** actions, connectivity is …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely tagged as valuable tools in a variety
of conservation assessments to address pressing conservation problems. However, these …

Globally, protected areas are being established to protect biodiversity and to promote
ecosystem resilience. The typical spatial conservation planning process leading to the …

Quantifying species distributions using species distribution models (SDMs) has emerged as
a central method in modern biogeography. These empirical models link species occurrence …

Aim Plasticity in migratory and foraging behaviour allows species to exploit dynamic and
novel habitats. This is especially important during seasonal transitions as species track …

Limited knowledge of the distribution, abundance, and habitat associations of migratory
species hinders effective conservation actions. We use Neotropical migratory birds as a …

The potential for large-scale afforestation, as a climate change mitigation strategy, has led to
national afforestation targets being proposed. These targets raise many questions, including …

The resources available for conserving biodiversity are limited, and so protected areas need
to be established in places that will achieve objectives for minimal cost. Two of the main …

Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Habitats along migratory routes may provide key resources for migratory species (eg
stopover habitat). For example, migratory juvenile salmon transit through estuaries on their …
