Delivering resilience for people and nature in Anthropocene landscapes
The concept of resilience is widespread in strategies for enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, but, in practice, resilience means different things in different socio‐ecological and policy contexts and to different people. In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of consensus, hiding underlying assumptions and values and missing opportunities to identify strategies with mul…
Applying habitat suitability modelling to establish the species identity of ambiguous animal depictions in archaeology: New insights into the wild bovids of ancient Egypt
For researchers studying wildlife distributions of the past, the assignment of faunal depictions and remains to species can often present considerable challenges. Regrettably, many studies do not systematically consider all options and sources of evidence and, as a result, questionable identifications are widespread in the literature, which compromises the trustworthiness of meta-analyses of human-animal interactions in an environmental context. …
Reconciling diverse viewpoints within systematic conservation planning
Conservation encompasses numerous alternative viewpoints on what to value (features such as biodiversity, ecosystem services or socio‐economic benefits) and how to convert these values into conservation policies that deliver for nature and people. Reconciling these differing values and viewpoints in policy development and implementation is a perennial challenge. Balancing differing stakeholder viewpoints within a single conservation plan risks so…
Maintaining global biodiversity by developing a sustainable Anthropocene food production system
Humans have appropriated modern (food and biomass) and ancient (fossil fuels) biological productivity in unprecedented quantities over the last century, generating the biodiversity and climate 'crises' respectively. While the energy sector is gradually addressing the underlying cause of climate change, transitioning from biological to physical sources of energy, the biodiversity and conservation community seems more focussed on treating the sympt…
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species
Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective strategies to conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the number of studies evaluating how, how much, why, when, and where species will be impacted by climate change. We provide an overview of the rapidly developing field of climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) and describe key concepts, terms, steps and considerat…
Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming
A meta-analysis shows that species are shifting their distributions in response to climate change at an accelerating rate.
