Site-selection algorithms and habitat loss

Article Abstract:

Research supports the inclusion of spatial population modeling in habitat reserve network design. Data were obtained from studies in which all sites are kept as suitable species habitat and studies in which habitat is lost. Basic algorithms for site selection may be inadequate if species persistence is linked to sites not in a reserve network.

Ecological effectiveness: conservation goals for interactive species

Article Abstract:

The importance of incorporating the level of interactivity between species in wildlife conservation management is examined. This will alleviate the short-term aspect of recovery goals, and prevent them from becoming spatially and numerically minimalistic. Wolf and sea otter populations are used as an illustration.
