Applying a decision-theory framework to landscape planning for biodiversity: follow-up to Watson et al

Article Abstract:

Watson et al. used the focal species approach to develop guidelines for the size and placement of eucalypt woodland remnants for conserving birds in a region of South Eastern Australia. They identified Easter Yellow Robin as a focal species for isolation and the Hooded Robin as the species most sensitive to habitat area and complexity.

Objectives for Multiple-Species Conservation Planning

Article Abstract:

Objective functions are derived that emphasize various levels of threat and applied to conservation planning. While those involving joint probabilities of extinction could be misleading, additive objectives did not present the same anomalies; hence objective function choice is crucial to conservation planning.
