    Marine biodiversity hotspots and conservation priorities for tropical reefs (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 2002-02-16
    Description: Coral reefs are the most biologically diverse of shallow water marine ecosystems but are being degraded worldwide by human activities and climate warming. Analyses of the geographic ranges of 3235 species of reef fish, corals, snails, and lobsters revealed that between 7.2% and 53.6% of each taxon have highly restricted ranges, rendering them vulnerable to extinction. Restricted-range species are clustered into centers of endemism, like those described for terrestrial taxa. The 10 richest centers of endemism cover 15.8% of the world's coral reefs (0.012% of the oceans) but include between 44.8 and 54.2% of the restricted-range species. Many occur in regions where reefs are being severely affected by people, potentially leading to numerous extinctions. Threatened centers of endemism are major biodiversity hotspots, and conservation efforts targeted toward them could help avert the loss of tropical reef biodiversity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Roberts, Callum M -- McClean, Colin J -- Veron, John E N -- Hawkins, Julie P -- Allen, Gerald R -- McAllister, Don E -- Mittermeier, Cristina G -- Schueler, Frederick W -- Spalding, Mark -- Wells, Fred -- Vynne, Carly -- Werner, Timothy B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Feb 15;295(5558):1280-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge MA 02138, USA. cr10@york.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11847338" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Global biodiversity conservation priorities (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 2006-07-11
    Description: The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation organizations have proposed nine templates of global priorities over the past decade. Here, we review the concepts, methods, results, impacts, and challenges of these prioritizations of conservation practice within the theoretical irreplaceability/vulnerability framework of systematic conservation planning. Most of the templates prioritize highly irreplaceable regions; some are reactive (prioritizing high vulnerability), and others are proactive (prioritizing low vulnerability). We hope this synthesis improves understanding of these prioritization approaches and that it results in more efficient allocation of geographically flexible conservation funding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brooks, T M -- Mittermeier, R A -- da Fonseca, G A B -- Gerlach, J -- Hoffmann, M -- Lamoreux, J F -- Mittermeier, C G -- Pilgrim, J D -- Rodrigues, A S L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jul 7;313(5783):58-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Conservation International, 1919 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA. t.brooks@conservation.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16825561" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
