Ethics and Ecology of Conserving Aquatic Species in North American Deserts

Edited by David L. Propst, Jack E. Williams, Kevin R. Bestgen, Christopher W. Hoagstrom ...

North American deserts—lands of little water—have long been home to a surprising diversity of aquatic life, from fish to insects and mollusks. With European settlement, however, water extraction, resource exploitation, and invasive species set many of these native aquatic species on downward spirals. In this book, conservationists dedicated to these creatures document the history of their work, ... Read more

The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation

by Robin L. Chazdon ...

For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second ... Read more

Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Adaptation

by Jodi A. Hilty, Annika T.H. Keeley, William Z. Lidicker Jr., Adina M. Merenlender ...

Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller patches of habitat, they must compete more aggressively for dwindling food resources and territory. This is more than just an unfortunate side effect of human progress. As key species populations dwindle, ecosystems are losing ... Read more

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically disrupted by human interventions—for example, when wolves and cougars are removed, allowing deer and beaver to become destructive—yet have only recently begun to be considered in the development of conservation and management ...
