Journal ArticleDOI
A new predictor of the irreplaceability of areas for achieving a conservation goal, its application to real-world planning, and a research agenda for further refinement
TL;DR: The relationship between irreplaceability and other conservation planning concepts such as flexibility, rarity, endemism and complementarity is clarified, and two techniques are presented for extending this approach to measure irreplaceable in terms of multiple features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential biodiversity variables for mapping and monitoring species populations
Walter Jetz,Melodie A. McGeoch,Robert P. Guralnick,Simon Ferrier,Jan Beck,Mark J. Costello,Miguel Fernandez,Gary N. Geller,Petr Keil,Cory Merow,Carsten Meyer,Frank E. Muller-Karger,Henrique M. Pereira,Henrique M. Pereira,Eugenie C. Regan,Dirk S. Schmeller,Eren Turak +16 more
TL;DR: The unified concept presented links disparate data to downstream uses and informs a vision for species population monitoring in which data collection is closely integrated with models and infrastructure to support effective biodiversity assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Much Compensation is Enough? A Framework for Incorporating Uncertainty and Time Discounting When Calculating Offset Ratios for Impacted Habitat
Atte Moilanen,Astrid J.A. van Teeffelen,Astrid J.A. van Teeffelen,Yakov Ben-Haim,Simon Ferrier +4 more
TL;DR: This work analyzes how the fair offset ratio is influenced by uncertainty in the effectiveness of restoration action, correlation between success of different compensation areas, and time discounting to guarantee a robustly fair exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opinion: Sustainable development must account for pandemic risk.
Moreno Di Marco,Moreno Di Marco,Michelle L. Baker,Peter Daszak,Paul J. De Barro,Evan A. Eskew,Cecile Godde,Tom Harwood,Mario Herrero,Andrew J. Hoskins,Erica Johnson,Erica Johnson,William B. Karesh,Catherine Machalaba,Javier Navarro Garcia,Dean R. Paini,Rebecca Pirzl,Mark Stafford Smith,Carlos Zambrana-Torrelio,Simon Ferrier +19 more
TL;DR: Without an integrated approach to mitigating the disease emergence consequences of environmental change, countries’ abilities to achieve SDGs and GHSA targets will be compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeographical concordance and efficiency of taxon indicators for establishing conservation priority in a tropical rainforest biota.
Craig Moritz,Karen S. Richardson,Simon Ferrier,Geoffrey B. Monteith,John Stanisic,Stephen E. Williams,Trevor Whiffin +6 more
TL;DR: Predictions that taxon surrogates can be effective in highly diverse tropical systems where there is a strong history of vicariant biogeography are confirmed, but also indicate that correlated patterns for species richness and/or complementarity do not guarantee that one taxon will be efficient as a surrogate for another.
