Conservation Priorities in a Biodiversity Hotspot: Analysis of Narrow Endemic Plant Species in New Caledonia
New Caledonia is a global biodiversity hotspot facing extreme environmental degradation. Given the urgent need for conservation prioritisation, we have made a first-pass quantitative assessment of the distribution of Narrow Endemic Species (NES) in the flora to identify species and sites that are potentially important for conservation action. We assessed the distributional status of all angiosp...
متن کاملExtinction debt in calcareous grasslands PLANT SPECIES EXTINCTION DEBT IN A TEMPERATE BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT: COMMUNITY, SPECIES AND FUNCTIONAL TRAITS APPROACHES
Destruction and fragmentation of (semi-) natural habitats are considered the main causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. Plant species may exhibit a slow response to fragmentation, resulting in the development of an extinction debt in fragmented plant communities. The detection of extinction debt is of primary importance in habitat conservation strategies. We applied two different approaches pr...
متن کاملContrasting plant diversification histories within the Andean biodiversity hotspot.
The Andes are the most species-rich global biodiversity hotspot. Most research and conservation attention in the Andes has focused on biomes such as rain forest, cloud forest, and páramo, where much plant species diversity is the hypothesized result of rapid speciation associated with the recent Andean orogeny. In contrast to these mesic biomes, we present evidence for a different, older divers...
متن کاملPrioritization of sites for plant species restoration in the Chilean Biodiversity 1 Hotspot : A spatial multi - criteria decision analysis approach
19 20 Various initiatives to identify global priority areas for conservation have been developed over the last 20 21 years (e.g. Biodiversity Hotspots). However, translating this information to actionable local scales has 22 proven to be a major task, highlighting the necessity of efforts to bridge the global-scale priority areas with 23 local-based conservation actions. Furthermore, as these g...
