Landscape ecology approaches to wetland species conservation: a case study of two turtle species in Southern Maine

Article Abstract:

The habitat use and movements of two turtle species that will assess the importance of conserving multiple wetlands and the upland matrix in which they occur is studied. The results show that protecting small wetlands, maintaining generous terrestrial buffers around individual wetlands, and conserving wetlands in groups are important components of a landscape approach to species conservation.

Refining normative concepts in conservation

Article Abstract:

The 'Current Normative Concepts in Conservation' written by Callicott et al. will join the ranks of conservation biology classics because it shines a beacon of clarity into a morass of confusing buzzwords and concepts. It has provided a real service in developing the glossary and seeking a bridge between the goals of compositionalists and functionalists.

A response to "Current Normative Concepts in Conservation" by Callicott et al.

Article Abstract:

The 'Current Normative Concepts in Conservation' by Callicott et al. (1999) attempts to distinguish between 'compositionalists,' and 'functionalists'. Most conservationistsE move back and forth in emphasis depending on circumstances indicating that the gulf between compositionalism and functionalism is simply not as vast at the authors could make it.
