Predicting extinction risks under climate change: coupling stochastic population models with dynamic bioclimatic habitat models.

TL;DR: A novel mechanistic approach allows more complete and direct appraisal of future biotic responses than do static bioclimatic habitat modelling approaches, and will ultimately support development of more effective conservation strategies to mitigate biodiversity losses due to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant functional traits in relation to fire in crown-fire ecosystems

TL;DR: It is predicted that not all resprouters respond in a similar way everywhere because the associated plant traits of resprouter species vary in different places, and attempts to generalize predictions on the basis of the resprouting capacity may have limited power at a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scientific foundations for an IUCN Red List of ecosystems.

TL;DR: A new conceptual model for ecosystem risk assessment founded on a synthesis of relevant ecological theories is presented, providing a consistent, practical and theoretically grounded framework for establishing a systematic Red List of the world’s ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limits to the use of threatened species lists

TL;DR: This work discusses why threatened species lists are commonly used, and why, if and how they should be used to achieve these purposes; and why some of them perform poorly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Faustian bargains? Restoration realities in the context of biodiversity offset policies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the effectiveness of restoration as an approach for offsetting biodiversity loss, and conclude that many of the expectations set by current offset policy for ecological restoration remain unsupported by evidence.
