Dataset for "Assessing the exposure of forest habitat types to projected climate change – implications for Bavarian protected areas"
<p>This dataset relates to the publication C. Steinacker, C. Beierkuhnlein, A. Jaeschke (2019), "Assessing the exposure of forest habitat types to projected climate change—Implications for Bavarian protected areas", Ecology and Evolution. doi:<a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5877"> 10.1002/ece3.5877</a>.</p> <p>The file contains:</p> <ul> <li>the R script,</li> <li>the model outputs (raster data of projected distribution of habitat types),</li> <li>the results of the range change analysis,</li> <li>the protected area shapefile with information on the elevational range inside of them and their projected environmental suitability for the corresponding habitat types.</li> </ul> <p>The products build on freely available data (e.g. distribution data from the EEA under the Habitats Directive). All data sources are cited in the related publication. Methodologically, we applied correlative species distribution models and further spatial and geostatistical analyses. We used R (e.g. biomod2-package) as well as GIS-software to conduct the analyses. More detailed descriptions of the methodology are placed in the publication.</p>

Data for the project: Shifts in habitat suitability for harbour porpoises leads to reduced importance of Marine Protected Areas
<p><span>Location data from 111 tracked harbour porpoises were collected over the period 1997–2022 as part of a long-term satellite telemetry monitoring program in Denmark</span><span>. Individual harbour porpoises were fitted with Argos satellite tags after being incidentally trapped in pound nets, which are used in near-shore commercial fisheries in the Inner Danish waters</span><span>. </span><span>Argos tags were programmed to make a limited number of daily satellite uplinks and acquire a location at pre-defined times (time of day and duty cycles) to increase the battery lifetime. Duty cycles of the tags varied between 1 and 4 days. Pre-processing of l</span><span>ocation data included filtering out unlikely locations using the Argos-Filter v7.03 </span><span>and the removal of locations on land and those collected within 24 hours after tagging to reduce behavioural bias caused by capture and tagging</span><span>.</span><span> After the data cleaning process, 9 345 <span>locations collected by 111 harbour porpoises were included in this study with an average tracking duration of 118.5 days per individual (min = 8 days, max = 522 days).</span></span></p> <p><span><span>Dataset includes coordinates (latitude and longitude ) of each location and the season and time period it was collected.</span></span></p>
Conservation of birds in fragmented landscapes requires protected areas
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For successful conservation of biodiversity, it is vital to know whether protected areas in increasingly fragmented landscapes effectively conserve species. However, how large habitat fragments must be and what level of protection is required to sustain species, remains poorly known. We compiled a global dataset on almost 2000 bird species in 741 forest fragments varying in size and protection status, and show that protection is associated with higher bird occurrence, especially for threatened species. Protection becomes increasingly important with increasing size of forest fragments. For forest fragments >50 ha our results show that strict protection (IUCN cat. I-IV) is strongly associated with higher bird occurrences, whereas fragments should be at least 175 ha to observe a positive effect of moderate protection (cat. V-VI). This meta-analysis quantifies the importance of fragment size, protection status, and their interaction for the conservation of bird species communities, and stresses that protection should not be limited to large pristine areas.</p>
