Navigating protected areas networks for improving diffusion of conservation practices
<p>The Natura 2000 protected area network is the cornerstone of European Union's biodiversity conservation strategy. These protected areas range across multiple biogeographic regions, and they include a diversity of species assemblages along with a diversity of managing organizations, altogether making difficult to pool relevant sites to facilitate the flow of knowledge significant to their management. Here we introduce an approach to navigating protected area networks that has the potential to foster systematic identification of key sites for facilitating the exchange of knowledge and diffusion of information within the network. To demonstrate our approach, we abstractly represented Romanian Natura 2000 network as a co-occurrence network, with individual sites as nodes and shared species as edges, further combining into our analysis network topology, community detection, and network reduction methods. We identified most representative Natura 2000 sites that may increase the transfer of information within the national network of protected areas, detected clusters of sites and key sites for maintaining network cohesiveness, and highlighted the subsample of sites that retain the characteristics of the entire network. Our analysis provides implications for protected area prioritization by proposing a network perspective approach to collaboration rooted in ecological principles.</p>

Multiple-benefit Conservation in Practice: Metrics Data for Quantifying Multidimensional Impacts of Landscape Change in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta
<p><strong>SUMMARY</strong><br> These data represent estimated mean value, standard error, and units for a range of metrics by land cover class in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Metrics are grouped into three major categories: Agricultural Livelihoods (including metrics for gross production value, number of agricultural jobs, and annual wages per employee), Water Quality (in terms of the application rates for pesticides identified as critical pesticides, groundwater contaminants, and those posing a high or moderate risk to aquatic organisms), and Climate Change Resilience (qualitative scores representing relative tolerance for heat, drought, and flood).</p> <p><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong><br> These data were developed to facilitate projecting the net impacts of land cover change scenarios on multiple metrics of interest to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, including potential benefits and trade-offs. They were used in initial analyses of scenarios representing habitat restoration and perennial crop expansion, and they are required for using the R package "DeltaMultipleBenefits", which provides the code and work flow for repeating the initial analyses or analyzing new scenarios.</p> <p>For additional details about the development and applications of these data, please see: </p> <ul> <li>Dybala KE, et al.

Influences on charitable giving for conservation: Online survey data of 1,331 respondents across the US, August 2017
This dataset records survey data collected from an online panel of 1,331 anonymous, nationwide U.S respondents. Data collection was both initiated and completed in August 2017. Survey data is of two major types. The first type, information about respondents, includes (1) select background and demographic information; (2) a brief version of a social desirability scale, measured to test and control for potential bias related to socially desirable responding; and (3) a scale developed to measure moral inclusivity, conceptualized as the breadth of an individual’s moral community (i.e., to what extent do different types of entities “count,” in a moral sense). The second type of data records information about an experimental message manipulation featured in the survey. The dataset includes one variable indicating which of seven manipulated textual messages each respondent viewed, along with several variables used as metrics of response to the messages, including (1) attitudes toward the message; (2) hypothetical willingness to donate for the cause promoted in the message; (3) perceived moral salience of the message (i.e., the extent to which it was perceived as a matter of moral concern); (4) manipulation checks, to test whether the manipulated elements of the messages were perceived as intended, and (5) a donation set-up, in which individuals were given the option to donate between $0 and $5 for a conservation organization, from an incentive fee provided by the researchers.
Conservation and management of migratory fauna and dams in tropical streams of Puerto Rico
1. Compared to most other tropical regions, Puerto Rico appears to have dammed its running waters decades earlier and to a greater degree. The island has more large dams per unit area than many countries in both tropical and temperate regions (e.g., 3x that of the U.S.), and the peak rate of large dam construction occurred two and three decades prior to reported peak rates in Latin America, Asia and Africa.2. Puerto Rico is a potential window into the future of freshwater migratory fauna in tropical regions, given the island's extent and magnitude of dam development and the available scientific information on ecology and management of the island's migratory fauna.3. We review ecology, management and conservation of migratory fauna in relation to dams in Puerto Rico. Our review includes a synthesis of recent and unpublished observations on upstream effects of large dams on migratory fauna and an analysis of patterns in free crest spillway discharge across Puerto Rican reservoirs. Analyses suggest that large dams with rare spillway discharge cause near, not complete, extirpation of upstream populations of migratory fauna. They also suggest several management and conservation issues in need of further research and consideration. These include research on the costs, benefits and effectiveness of simple fish/shrimp passage designs involving simulating spillway discharge and the appropriateness of establishing predatory fishes in reservoirs of historically fishless drainages.

Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation
<p>Big, time-scaled phylogenies are fundamental to connecting evolutionary processes to modern biodiversity patterns. Yet inferring reliable phylogenetic trees for thousands of species involves numerous trade-offs that have limited their utility to comparative biologists. To establish a robust evolutionary timescale for all ~6000 living species of mammals, we developed credible sets of trees that capture root-to-tip uncertainty in topology and divergence times. Our 'backbone-and-patch' approach to tree-building applies a newly assembled 31-gene supermatrix to two levels of Bayesian inference: (i) backbone relationships and ages among major lineages, using fossil node- or tip-dating; and (ii) species-level 'patch' phylogenies with non-overlapping in-groups that each correspond to one representative lineage in the backbone. Species unsampled for DNA are either excluded ('DNA-only' trees) or imputed within taxonomic constraints using branch lengths drawn from local birth-death models ('completed' trees). Joining time-scaled patches to backbones results in species-level trees of extant Mammalia with all branches estimated under the same modeling framework, thereby facilitating rate comparisons among lineages as disparate as marsupials and placentals. We compare our phylogenetic trees to previous estimates of mammal-wide phylogeny and divergence times, finding that (i) node ages are broadly concordant among studies, and (ii) recent (tip-level) rates of speciation are estimated more accurately in our study than in previous 'supertree' approaches where unresolved nodes led to branch length artifacts. Credible sets of mammalian phylogenetic history are now available for download at <a href="http://vertlife.org/phylosubsets">http://vertlife.org/phylosubsets</a>, enabling investigations of long-standing questions in comparative biology.</p>
Supplementary Material - The conservation status of the Cretan Endemic Arthropods under Natura 2000 network
<p>Arthropod decline has been globally and locally documented, yet they are still not sufficiently protected. Crete (Greece), a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, is a continental island renowned for its diverse geology, ecosystems and endemicity of flora and fauna, with continuous research on its Arthropod fauna dating back to the 19th century. Here we investigate the conservation status of the Cretan Arthropods using Preliminary Automated Conservation Assessments (PACA) and the overlap of Cretan Arthropod distributions with the Natura 2000 protected areas. Moreover we investigate their endemicity hotspots and propose candidate Key Biodiversity Areas. In order to perform these analyses, we assembled occurrences of the endemic Arthropods in Crete located in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Crete together with literature data. These assessments resulted in 75% of endemic Arthropods as potentially threatened. The hotspots of endemic taxa and the candidate Key Biodiversity Areas are distributed mostly on the mountainous areas where the Natura 2000 protected areas have great coverage. Yet human activities have significant impact even in those areas, while some taxa are not sufficiently covered by Natura 2000.

The reason for this is that we found that lineages were <br>overall unsupported, so better predictions can be arrived at by excluding this<br>source of uncertainty in the underlying intensity process.</p> <p>The raster brick has 66 layers. Each layer provides either the mean predicted<br>log intensity in each grid cell across the species range or else provides<br>the standard error of that predicted log intensity.

Updated distribution and conservation perspectives of marmosine opossums from Colombia
<p>These maps are the results of ecological niche modeling (via MaxEnt) and expert's opinions. Models are based on localities from recent taxonomic reviews, catalogues, museum specimens, and curated GBIF data. Models where tuned specifically for each species and evaluated in different modeling areas (see original publication for details). These maps represent the potential distribution ranges of the Marmosini species of Colombia, but were individually adjusted based on biogeographic barriers (see article for details).</p>

Assessing ambitious nature conservation strategies in a below 2-degree and food-secure world – supplementary spatial data
<p><strong>Assessing ambitious nature conservation strategies in a below 2-degree and food-secure world – supplementary spatial data</strong></p><p><strong>Authors: </strong>Marcel Kok, Johan Meijer, Willem-Jan van Zeist, Jelle Hilbers, Marco Immovilli, Jan Janse, Elke Stehfest, Michel Bakkenes, Andrzej Tabeau, Aafke Schipper, Rob Alkemade</p><p><strong>Point of contact:</strong> <a href="mailto:Marcel.Kok@pbl.nl">Marcel.Kok@pbl.nl</a></p><p><strong>Research paper summary:</strong> Global biodiversity is projected to further decline under a wide range of future socio-economic development pathways, even in sustainability-oriented scenarios. This raises the question how biodiversity can be put on a path to recovery, the core challenge for the implementation of the CBD Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. We designed two ambitious global conservation strategies, 'Half Earth' (HE) and 'Sharing the Planet' (SP), and evaluated their ability to restore terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity and to provide nature's contributions to people (NCP), while also limiting global warming below 2 degrees and ensuring food security. We applied the integrated assessment framework IMAGE with the GLOBIO biodiversity model, using the 'Middle of the Road' Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP2) with its projected human population growth as baseline. We found that the HE strategy performs generally better for terrestrial biodiversity (biodiversity intactness (MSA), Area of Habitat, Living Planet Index, Red List Index) in currently still natural regions. The SP strategy yields more improvements for biodiversity in human-used areas, for freshwater biodiversity and for regulating NCP (pest control, pollination, erosion control, water quality). However, both strategies were insufficient to restore biodiversity and corresponded with considerable increases in food security risks and global temperature. Only when we combined the conservation strategies with a portfolio of 'integrated sustainability measures', including climate change mitigation and reductions of food waste and animal product consumption, our scenarios resulted in a restoration of biodiversity and NCP while keeping global warming below two degrees and food security risks below the baseline projection.</p><p><strong>Contents:</strong> This repository contains the supplementary spatial data describing the specific prioritization of conservation areas under the Half Earth (HE) and Sharing the Planet (SP) scenarios, and the resulting scenario land use and MSA data sets for the year 2050, including also a baseline (BL) scenario. All spatial data is in geotiff format at a 10 arcsecond resolution in WGS84 coordinate system.
