Phenotypic plasticity may help species to persist in the face of rapid change, yet we lack a
management-friendly framework for incorporating plasticity into conservation practice. Here …

Resource managers have rarely accounted for evolutionary dynamics in the design or
implementation of climate change adaptation strategies. We brought the research and …

Cloning as it relates to the animal kingdom generally refers to the production of genetically
identical individuals. Because cloning is increasingly the subject of renewed attention as a …

Massive defaunation and high extinction rates have become characteristic of the

greatly stimulated public and scientific interest, producing a large body of literature and …

Earth system interventions (ESIs)—intentional large-scale interventions in Earth systems—
are not entirely new. However, in response to threats to sustainability, particularly from …

De‐extinction, or the process of resurrecting extinct species, has been advanced as a
promising new tool in conservation biology. Most scientific discussion of de‐extinction has …

The Anthropocene biosphere constitutes an unprecedented phase in the evolution of life on
Earth with one species, humans, exerting extensive control. The increasing intensity of …

Humans have served their needs and interests by modifying plants, animals, and
