New paper: Extinction debt in plant communities: where are we now? In this commentary we build upon an interesting study published in Journal of Vegetation Science ... New paper: Population viability at extreme sex ratio skews produced by temperature dependent sex determination. For species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) there is the fear that rising temperatures may lead to single-sex populations and population extinction.... New OA Article: Importance of Roadless Areas for the European Conservation Network We demonstrated that the enlargement of the EU conservation network could be achieved by designating RAs as protected sites, or by incorporating adjacent RAs... New OA paper: Advancing marine conservation in European and contiguous seas with the MarCons Action An new paper that summarizes the main regulatory framework for marine conservation in European and contiguous seas, outlines the need for maritime (or marine) spatial planning (MSP) ... New Publication: Knock-on effects of national risk assessments on conservation of global biodiversity January 2017 Terrorism, natural hazards and global biodiversity conservation… Our new paper which is now available on line, suggests that risk of national security issues should be incorporated into the management schemes of Marine Protected Areas.. New Publication: Manifestation of maritime piracy as an additional challenge for global conservation January 2017 Check out the new paper published in Marine Policy exploring the spatial patterns of hostile acts against ships and marines. Interestingly hotspots of anti-shipping acts overlap with marine biodiversity hotspots, likely to alter conservation efficiency. New Publication: Using climatic suitability thresholds to identify past, present and future population viability October 2016 Our new study was just published in Ecological Indicators! we generate a threshold as an index of a minimum climatic suitability required to sustain large populations, offering an alternative way of interpreting the outputs of climatic niche models.
