  • A decade of nature: Evolving approaches to Melbourne’s ‘nature in the city’

    Open AccessJudy Bush, Cathy Oke et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Cities have important roles in biodiversity restoration and management. Local municipalities, as key land managers, play critical roles since some species are restricted to small patches of urban habitat, and some are considered threatened. Evolving approaches to urban nature policy, strategy and implementation demonstrate increasing sophistication and complexity, with approaches transitioning towards the adoption of more complex objectives, that…

  • Ecological connectivity in environmental impact assessments: Modelling alternative highway bypass scenarios

    Darrel Tiang Chin Fung, Rodney Van Der Ree et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2023

    Road building is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally. This study addressed common challenges for spatially explicit ecological assessments of linear infrastructure EIAs, by first providing an overview of existing approaches and then applying a connectivity model with scenario analysis of alternative road alignments for a road bypass in Beaufort, Australia. The application included an expert-based connectivity model using a combin…

  • Quantifying the importance of urban trees to people and nature through tree removal experiments

    Open AccessCamilo Ordóñez, Caragh G Threlfall et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Experimentally manipulating urban tree abundance and structure can help explore the complex and reciprocal interactions among people, biodiversity and the services urban forests provide to humans and wildlife. In this study we take advantage of scheduled urban tree removals to experimentally quantify the benefits that urban trees provide to humans and wildlife. Specifically, we aim to understand how trees affect: (1) bird and mammal abundance and…

  • The seven lamps of planning for biodiversity in the city

    Open AccessKirsten M Parris, Marco Amati et al.ARTICLECities2018Cited by: 8References: 115

    Cities tend to be built in areas of high biodiversity, and the accelerating pace of urbanization threatens the persistence of many species and ecological communities globally. However, urban environments also offer unique prospects for biological conservation, with multiple benefits for humans and other species. We present seven ecological principles to conserve and increase the biodiversity of cities, using metaphors to bridge the gap between th…

  • When Ecological Information Meets High Wildlife Value Orientations: Influencing Preferences of Nearby Residents for Urban Wetlands

    Tanja M Straka, Dave Kendal et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2016

    Preferences for landscapes are critical because they can drive landscape changes over time. The mediating role of wildlife value orientations in influencing preferences for urban wetlands through the provision of ecological information (based on insectivorous bats) was experimentally tested. Residents (N = 198) were asked about their preferences for wetlands, as depicted in 27 photographs. Half of the participants were provided with ecological in…

  • Wildlife Tunnel Enhances Population Viability

    Open AccessRodney Van Der Ree, Dean Heinze et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2009Cited by: 1

    Roads and traffic are pervasive components of landscapes throughout the world: they cause wildlife mortality, disrupt animal movements, and increase the risk of extinction. Expensive engineering solutions, such as overpasses and tunnels, are increasingly being adopted to mitigate these effects. Although some species readily use such structures, their success in preventing population extinction remains unknown. Here, we use population viability mo…
