Conservation Status of the World’s Fish Fauna: An Overviewhe conservation of aquatic organisms and their ecosystems. Notwithstanding this surge of interest, many aquatic ecosystems remain poorly understood because conservation biology remains primarily focused on the loss of biotic diversity in terrestrial environments. Loss of diversity in aquatic environ

Challenges in Insect Conservation: Managing Fluctuating Populations In Disturbed HabitatsFor example, insects and other arthropods contribute substantially to standing biomass; 1,000 kg/ha is an estimate for the United States (Pimentel . 1980). In most terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems they play critical roles as prey, predators, herbivores and pollinators (Free 1970; Debach and Ros

An Australian Perspective on Plant Conservation Biology in Practicetion of a number of recent symposium volumes (e.g., Saunders . 1987, 1990, 1993, 1995; Saunders and Hobbs 1992; Moritz and Kikkawa 1994; Bradstock . 1995; Hopper . 1996). My purpose here is to provide an overview of current Australian plant conservation practice and the scientific knowledge that has

Challenges and Approaches for Conserving Hawaii’s Endangered Forest Birdsof what the archipelago once supported. In fact, it is estimated that over two thirds of Hawaii’s forest bird species have gone extinct since human contact (Freed, Conant, and Fleisher 1987; Jacobi and Atkinson 1994). Few faunas on Earth and no other island avifauna have experienced as many recent e

Picking Up The Pieces: Botanical Conservation on Degraded Oceanic Islands. These largely colonial debates recognized the link between forest loss and watershed decline and the possibility that habitat loss can result in species loss. Currently, oceanic islands are manifesting very high levels of extinction that demand urgent and innovative approaches to conservation. The
