Special Issue Information
The Institute for Development, Ecology, Conservation and Cooperation (IDECC) is a scientific organization devoted to international interdisciplinary research linking conservation ecology and environment management. The Institute has headquarters in Italy, Nigeria, Togo and Burkina Faso and is focused especially on tropical environments. In this Special Issue, we bring a selection of the latest scientific research papers from IDECC scientists and their collaborators, from universities and other research organizations throughout the world. The covered topics will be wide and comprehensive, including different taxonomic groups from invertebrates to vertebrates, in temperate and tropical areas. Special attention will be devoted to highlighting the conservation implications of the described patterns, with an emphasis on threatened taxa, environments and protected areas.
