Data from: Constrained optimization of landscape indices in conservation planning to support ecological restoration in New Caledonia
<p>1. Curbing habitat loss, reducing fragmentation, and restoring connectivity are frequent concerns of conservation planning. In this respect, the incorporation of spatial constraints, fragmentation, and connectivity indices into optimization procedures is an important challenge for improving decision support.</p> <p>2. Here we present a novel optimization approach developed to accurately represent a broad range of conservation planning questions with spatial constraints and landscape indices. Relying on constraint programming, a technique from artificial intelligence based on automatic reasoning, this approach provides both constraint satisfaction and optimality guarantees.</p> <p>3. We applied this approach in a real case study to support managers of the ``Côte Oubliée -- `Woen Vùù -- Pwa Pereeù'' provincial park project, in the biodiversity hotspot of New Caledonia. Under budget, accessibility, and equitable allocation constraints, we identified restorable areas optimal for reducing forest fragmentation and improving inter-patch structural connectivity, respectively measured with the effective mesh size and the integral index of connectivity.</p> <p>4. Synthesis and applications. Our work contributes to more effective and policy-relevant conservation planning by providing a spatially-explicit and problem-focused optimization approach. By allowing an exact representation of spatial constraints and landscape indices, it can address new questions and ensure whether the solutions will be socio-economically feasible, through optimality and satisfiability guarantees. Our approach is generic and flexible, thus applicable to a wide range of conservation planning problems such as ecological restoration planning, reserve or corridor design.</p>
Literature search: Remote sensing in conservation and ecology
<p>This file provides the raw data of a literature search that was conducted to demonstate the growing relevance and rapid devleopment of remote sensing in relation to conservation and ecology within academia. The search was performed using Scopus, a database of peer-reviewed literature, using the string "remote sensing" AND ["conservation" OR "ecology"].</p>

Raw data for: Novel food resources and conservation of ecological interactions between the Andean Araucaria and the Austral parakeet
<p><span>In fragile ecosystems, the introduction of exotic species could alter some ecological processes. The Austral parakeet (<em>Enicognathus</em> <em>ferrugineous</em>) shows close ecological and evolutionary relationships with the Andean Araucaria (<em>Araucaria</em> <em>araucana</em>), so any alteration in these interactions may have negative consequences for both partners and for ecosystem functioning and structure. We conducted extensive roadside surveys to estimate the abundance of parakeets in the northern Patagonian Andes over four years and recorded the food plants consumed by foraging flocks. The use of native habitats and humanized areas like villages and farms was influenced by Araucaria seed crop. In masting years, the large seed crop allowed a massive use of this resource during the non-breeding season, and even during the breeding season. The exploitation of exotic plants was minor in the masting year, but became predominant in non-masting years, especially during the non-breeding season. This feeding switch towards exotic plants primarily arose because the low Araucaria seed crop in non-masting years is entirely consumed just after production by domestic and wild exotic mammals living in Araucaria forests year-round, thus forcing the displacement of parakeets towards anthropic habitats to exploit exotic plants. Given the degradation of the remaining Andean Araucaria forests due to the impact of exotic mammals on the ecological interaction between Araucaria and Austral parakeets, ambitious programs to exclude or reduce the density of these alien mammals, including livestock, are warranted. </span></p>
