Over the last two decades, numerous studies have shown that alien predators contributed to
amphibian population declines. Both experimental studies and correlative field surveys …

Feral cats are directly responsible for a large percentage of global extinctions, particularly on
islands. We reviewed feral cat eradication programs with the intent of providing information …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

We compared the historic and current geographical ranges of 43 North American carnivores
and ungulates to identify large-scale patterns in range contractions and expansions …

As one moves from the core to the periphery of a species' geographical range, populations
occupy less favourable habitats and exhibit lower and more variable densities …

1. Introduced predators account for a large part of the extinction of endemic insular species,
which constitutes a major component of the loss of biodiversity among vertebrates …

Recent archaeological research has fundamentally altered our understanding of the scope
of past human impacts on nondomesticated animal populations. Predictions derived from …

Aim We examined the range contraction of 309 declining species of animals and plants to
determine if the contraction dynamics better matched predictions based on the demographic …

While important advances have been made in recovering threatened species and restoring
damaged habitats on offshore islands, effective conservation management is also required …

▪ Abstract Conservation in New Zealand is failing to halt an ongoing decline in biodiversity.
Classical problems of ecosystem loss and fragmentation have largely been countered in …
