Book Description

This useful new book answers the need for data-driven estimates of recent (1600 onwards) extinction rates as a basis for more accurate projections of extinction rates for the centuries to come. This book provides a more wide-ranging and data-driven treatment of present and likely future rates of extinction than any text currently available. It is directed broadly at senior undergraduates, postgraduate students and research workers in the fields of ecology, conservation biology and the environmental sciences. The authors highlight apparent differences in extinction rates among taxonomic groups and places, aiming to identify unresolved issues and important questions.

Endangered Species | Conservation | Outdoors & Nature | Subjects | Books
ASIN: B000QGZQGG

Product Description

As species disappear at an unprecedented rate, scientists work to conserve the Earth's biodiversity. In Conservation and Biodiversity, Andrew Dobson looks at the current state of endangered species management, exploring the economics of different conservation techniques and the practical possibilities for using the environment while sustaining it. Filled with case studies, it is a compelling investigation into a wide range of issues, from the ivory trade in elephants to the sale of rhino horns, from the function of zoos to the reintroduction of species to the wild. Conservation And Biodiversity introduces readers to problems, both scientific and economic, of quantifying the magnitude and value of biodiversity. What really is the extent of biodiversity loss and how does one go about figuring it out? Why is biodiversity valuable for the earth and ourselves, what can be done to conserve it? Dobson gives clear answers in this beautifully illustrated book. Conservation And Biodiversity offers a lucid explanation of how current extinction rates are figured and how species endangerment is determined. He also offers fascinating insights into managing endangered species and the economics of different conservation strategies. Filled with vivid case studies, Dobson cites the changes in animal populations before and after management attempts. Highly recommended!

Description:
Many dehesa zones in marginal areas are suffering from the abandonment of traditional farming practices. Herbivore grazing affects grassland dynamics, changing the species colonisation and extinction relationships via consumption, mechanical disturbance, seed dispersal and altered soil fertility due to dung-borne nutrient input. This paper analyses changes to floristic composition, species richness and heterogeneity as well as soil and light resources in relation to grazing abandonment in two characteristic topography-related types of dehesa habitat (upper slope and lower slope grasslands). Vegetation surveys were undertaken using five replicates in each habitat type in grazed and abandoned grasslands in the Guadarrama range in Central Spain with distric cambisol soils. Additional measurements of light and soil parameters were also undertaken. The results show an effect of grazing on resource availability. In general there was a smaller proportion of fine matter (clay), organic matter, total nitrogen, assimilable potassium and readily available water in abandoned as opposed to grazed zones. We did not find any effect of grazing on phosphorous availability. Abandonment reduces light availability at ground level in lower slope grasslands (wet meadows) but does not produce a significant reduction in upper slope (driest) grasslands, although there is an increased spatial heterogeneity in the availability of light associated with the presence of scattered shrubs. While the total number of species in abandoned zones did not significantly differ from grazed zones, floristic composition changed dramatically with abandonment in both habitat types, with less than 50% of common species. Also, floristic heterogeneity at the small scale increased with abandonment. Designers of agri-environmental policies applied to Mediterranean grasslands should be aware of the risk of widespread grazing abandonment and promote the diversification of grazing regimes across the landscape to maximize species diversity and take advantage of the benefits of low-density grazing in other functions of the ecosystem such as their productivity and stability.

Description:
Previous in situ studies of orchid population dynamics with conservation relevance have focused on one or a few populations in a limited area. Many species of orchids occur as hyperdispersed populations in ephemeral habitats (epiphytic, twig epiphytes, short lived or vulnerable host). In this contribution, we show that orchid populations that are patchily distributed and that exist in disturbance-prone environments may act somewhat like a metapopulation with high turnover and low correlation in population dynamics. We tested for evidence of metapopulation dynamics in the riparian orchid Lepanthes rupestris by sampling over 1000 sites (250 initially occupied, 750 initially unoccupied) in biannual surveys for 5 years. Extinction and colonization of groups of orchids on a single substrate or patch (either trees or boulders) was common and more or less consistent across different time periods, and asynchronous subpopulation dynamics were evident among the populations. From this we predict non-zero equilibrium values for site occupancy (P@?) of L. rupestris. Nevertheless, this study species differed from a typical Levins' metapopulation system in that small populations were more likely to go extinct than large populations, and that colonization of previously occupied sites was more common than colonization of initially unoccupied sites suggesting that site quality may influence population persistence and colonization. A major difficulty applying the metapopulation approach to orchid conservation is identifying empty sites suitable for colonization. In spite of this limitation, our study highlights the necessity of following multiple orchid subpopulations (e.g., an entire orchid ''metapopulation'' in the broad sense) may provide a more accurate basis for predicting persistence in epiphytic orchids.

Description:
Extinction rates are commonly estimated by comparing the number of species present in successive time-frames. Although straightforward in principle, recent studies have illustrated the importance of setting a clearly defined baseline, of identifying `transient' or `vagrant' species, and of avoiding a bias towards under-recording recent extinctions. This study attempts to address these issues by identifying native, non-transient species reliably recorded in Scotland during a 100-year baseline period (1850-1949), but absent from records collected over the following 50 years. From a baseline sample of 4019 species, 1.2-1.8% were missing or considered likely to have become extinct in Scotland by 1950-1999. Insect loss rates were of a similar order of magnitude to those of better-known taxa; a finding consistent with those of recent studies, despite differences in method, region and time-frame. There was no evidence of a substantial change in the extinction rate during the baseline period. The inclusion of transient species and those likely to have been overlooked during the follow-up period had a marked effect on the loss rate, raising the estimate by a factor of 2.5. It is suggested that this approach could provide a relatively robust indicator of change in extinction rates within selected groups, but only if time-frames and the treatment of transients are defined clearly.

Description:
Grey nurse sharks off the east coast of Australia are listed nationally as ''critically endangered'' under Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) and may number no more than 300 in New South Wales and southern Queensland waters. They are an inshore, coastal dwelling species and were severely depleted by spearfishing in the 1960s. The population has continued to decline despite protection since 1984. Their life history (long-lived to 25+ years), late maturation (6-8 years), low fecundity (maximum 2 live young biennially), specific habitat requirements, limited inshore distribution, and small population size render them particularly vulnerable to extinction. We estimated the time to quasi-extinction (years elapsed for the population to consist of = <50 females) for the grey nurse shark population off the east coast of Australia based on current estimates of abundance and known anthropogenic rates of mortality. Estimated minimum population size was 300 as of 2002, and minimum anthropogenic mortality assessed from recovered carcasses was 12/year of which 75% were females. We modelled time to quasi-extinction using deterministic age- and stage-classified models for worst-, likely and best-case scenarios. Population size was estimated at 300 (worst), 1000 (likely) and 3000 (best). Anthropogenic mortality was added to the model assuming either all carcasses are being recovered (best), or conservatively, that only 50% are reported (realistic). Depending on model structure, if all carcasses are being reported, quasi-extinction times for worst-, likely and best-case scenarios range from 13 to 16 years, 84-98 years and 289-324 years, respectively. If under-reporting is occurring, time to quasi-extinction ranges from 6 to 8 years, 45-53 years and 173-200 years, respectively. In all scenarios modelled the grey nurse shark population will decline if no further steps are taken to remove anthropogenic sources of mortality. Because estimates of quasi-extinction rate depend on initial population size, and sensitivity analysis revealed that population rate of change was most sensitive to changes in the survival probability of the smallest length classes, obtaining precise estimates of abundance and annual survival of young females is critical.
