Stefano Canessa (1) 1 Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent’s Park, London, UK. E: science@canessas.com, T:@can_essay Assisted colonisation is a new and untested conservation technique, which means its potential outcomes are typically uncertain. This is not unusual for conservation, due to our incomplete knowledge of complex and variable natural systems. In some cases,…
Marta A. Jarzyna (1) , Walter Jetz (1) 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, 165 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT, 06520 Research on the implications of climate change to biodiversity has mostly focused on shifting species distributions and resulting changes in species richness. Species richness alone, however, often fails to fully describe community…
