Keywords:

  • conservation planning in a changing world - planning for persistence in a changing world;
  • conservation community, biodiversity pattern - features, mapped spatially and ‘captured’ by conservation management activity;
  • integrating evolutionary considerations - into conservation planning;
  • phylogenetic diversity (PD), biodiversity index - measuring length of evolutionary pathways connecting set of taxa;
  • history of human intervention, conservation theory and practice - natural and anthropogenic;
  • dynamic processes of extinction and colonization - patterns in species' distributions, how distributions change;
  • dynamic geography of range collapse - extinction of a species, and population decline;
  • geographical range collapses, temporal patterns - designing conservation interventions;
  • predicting biodiversity change;
  • methods, forecasting climate-induced range changes and extinction - and species distribution models
