Ecology, Management and Conservation of Vertebrates: 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vertebrates are one of the most threatened forms of biodiversity in the context of global climate change. The destruction and fragmentation of habitats and the impact of human activities, illegal trafficking, invasive alien species, emerging diseases and climate change are some of the main drivers behind the decline in their populations. Great effort has been made in recent decades to research and develop new methodologies for the study and quantification of these impacts, and to provide novel proposals to promote the conservation of this group of fauna. This Topic aims to gather a wide range of primary research papers regarding vertebrate conservation around the world, offering examples from a broad spectrum of themes representing the current state of the field.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Novel approaches to the biology of vertebrate conservation;

(2) Studies on the drivers of vertebrate population decline;

(3) The results of conservation plans and strategies;

(4) Relevant aspects of the ecology of vertebrate populations in relation to their conservation;

(5) The incorporation of local perspectives into vertebrate conservation.
