Context Scale is the lens that focuses ecological relationships. Organisms select habitat at
multiple hierarchical levels and at different spatial and/or temporal scales within each level …

This review provides an overview and integration of the use of resilience concepts to guide
natural resources management actions. We emphasize ecosystems and landscapes and …

The vast scope of conservation problems has forced biologists and managers to rely on"
surrogate" species to serve as shortcuts to guide their decision making. These species …

The goal of the present study is to assess how landscape configuration influenced the
distribution of life‐history traits across bird, carabid beetle and butterfly communities of …

The harbour porpoise is a highly mobile species and thus represents a considerable
challenge in the context of using marine protected areas (MPAs) for conservation. The shelf …

Resource selection functions (RSFs) can be used to map suitable habitat of a species based
on predicted probability of use. The spatial scale may affect accuracy of such predictions. To …

Areas of high conservation value were identified in the Western Ghats using a systematic
conservation planning approach. Surrogates were chosen and assessed for effectiveness …

Niche differentiation, the partitioning of resources along one or more axes of a species'
niche hyper-volume, is widely recognised as an important mechanism for sympatric species …

Animals select habitat resources at multiple spatial scales. Thus, explicit attention to scale
dependency in species–habitat relationships is critical to understand the habitat suitability …

Owing to the huge number of invertebrate species, the paucity of available data and lack of
accessible resources to carry out comprehensive surveys of invertebrates, it is necessary for …
