Changes in land-use/land-cover patterns in Italy and their implications for biodiversity conservation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three land-use/land-cover maps (from 1960 to 2000) covering the Italian peninsula to analyze the pattern of land use/land cover change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global habitat suitability models of terrestrial mammals.
Carlo Rondinini,Moreno Di Marco,Federica Chiozza,Giulia Santulli,Daniele Baisero,Piero Visconti,Michael R. Hoffmann,Jan Schipper,Simon N. Stuart,Marcelo F. Tognelli,Giovanni Amori,Alessandra Falcucci,Luigi Maiorano,Luigi Boitani +13 more
TL;DR: A global, fine-scale analysis of patterns of species richness is conducted, finding that the richness of mammal species estimated by the overlap of their suitable habitat is on average one-third less than that estimated by their geographical ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological networks as conceptual frameworks or operational tools in conservation
Luigi Boitani,Alessandra Falcucci,Alessandra Falcucci,Luigi Maiorano,Luigi Maiorano,Carlo Rondinini +5 more
TL;DR: It is maintained that ENs are of limited use for biodiversity conservation for several reasons, and there is no indication that the structural composition of core areas, corridors, and buffer areas could ensure the functional connectivity and improve the viability of more than a few species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of the Natura 2000 Network to Biodiversity Conservation in Italy
Luigi Maiorano,Luigi Maiorano,Alessandra Falcucci,Alessandra Falcucci,Edward O. Garton,Luigi Boitani +5 more
TL;DR: The Natura 2000 system is based on a site-specific expert-based strategy and is driven by direct and detailed knowledge of local diversity and could be enhanced by integrating it into a more general strategy that considers natural processes and the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms underlying these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gap analysis of terrestrial vertebrates in Italy: Priorities for conservation planning in a human dominated landscape
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of distribution models and extents of occurrence was used to perform a gap analysis and an irreplaceability analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the protected areas for the conservation of terrestrial vertebrates.
