Incorporating costs and processes into systematic conservation planning in a biodiversity hotspot
… to stem the rapid destruction of biodiversity, conservationists must set clear priorities for action. Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) is an approach that uses spatially explicit data to identify areas that meet conservation targets efficiently, usually focusing on species’ representation. …

SAGE-GROUSE AND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT: INTEGRATING SCIENCE WITH CONSERVATION PLANNING TO REDUCE IMPACTS
<p>Effective conservation planning in the face of rapid land use change requires knowledge of which habitats are selected at landscape scales, where those habitats are located, and how species ultimately respond to anthropogenic disturbance. I assessed sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) large …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
Conservation planning often relies on delineating intraspecific units to capture ecological and evolutionary diversity. To do this, traditional frameworks often emphasize genetic or taxonomic criteria as a first line of evidence for evolutionary significance. While useful, this approach assumes …
