TL;DR: It is proposed that species distribution modellers should get involved in real decision-making processes that will benefit from their technical input and have the potential to better bridge theory and practice, and contribute to improve both scientific knowledge and conservation outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation planners tend to ignore improved accuracy of modelled species distributions to focus on multiple threats and ecological processes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use text mining to analyse 641 peer-reviewed conservation prioritisation articles published between 2006 and 2012 and find that only 10% of articles specifically mention SDMs in the abstract, title, and/or keywords.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guy Pe'er,Guy Pe'er,Yiannis G. Matsinos,Karin Johst,Kamila W. Franz,Kamila W. Franz,Camille Turlure,Viktoriia Radchuk,A.H. Malinowska,Janelle M. R. Curtis,Ilona Naujokaitis-Lewis,Brendan A. Wintle,Klaus Henle +12 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive protocol for the design, application, and communication of PVAs (DAC-PVA), which has 3 primary elements, which defines what a useful PVA is and highlights important aspects that need to be considered during these processes; and the third element focuses on communication of PVA to ensure clarity, comprehensiveness, repeatability, and comparability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Latitudinal gradients in herbivory on Oenothera biennis vary according to herbivore guild and specialization
TL;DR: Overall, it is shown that every pattern of herbivory (positive, negative and no relationship) is possible across a latitudinal gradient, and this variation depends on the insects' degree of specialization and feeding guild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity analyses of spatial population viability analysis models for species at risk and habitat conservation planning.
Ilona Naujokaitis-Lewis,Janelle M. R. Curtis,Janelle M. R. Curtis,Peter Arcese,Jordan S. Rosenfeld +4 more
TL;DR: A lack of standards for sensitivity analysis and reporting in spatial PVAs has the potential to compromise the ability to learn collectively from PVA results, accurately interpret results in cases where model relationships include nonlinearities and interactions, prioritize monitoring and management actions, and ensure conservation-planning decisions are robust to uncertainties in spatial and nonspatial parameters.
