Sentence examples for the scale of conservation from inspiring English sources

We explore the 'fit' between management units and the scale of conservation challenges for the bridled nailtail wallaby, and then use this to frame the role of the private grazing industry in the governance of conservation actions.

Such biases are common in the data available at the scale of conservation actions and the topic is hotly debated in the literature because it impacts decision making (Andelman 2000; Hess et al. 2006; Cabeza et al. 2007; Rodrigues and Brooks 2007; Roth and Weber 2008) and the consequences are still poorly understood (Gaston and Rodrigues 2003).

Then we investigated the relative resource delivery (difference in bird densities between landscapes with and without additional management) and the efficiency (number of individuals supported per unit management) of conservation actions, both at the landscape-scale (ca 100 ha) and at the scale of the conservation measures (3.6 ha).

The impact from gene dosage has also been examined at the scale of genomic conservation, and highly expressed genes tend to locate near the origin of replication, especially for bacteria with fast cell division rates [ 21, 29].

The 5' nucleotide conservation on 24nt species was more prominent than on 21nt species (~0.3 bit in 24nt and ~0.1 bit in 21nt in the scale of zero bit for no conservation and 2.0 bit for complete conservation).

Consequently, while not of obvious intrinsic value in-and-of-itself, neutral molecular variation represents a proxy measure of the history or 'bioheritage' of a taxon as well as reflecting aspects of its contemporary biology (e.g., demographic bottlenecks in population size) and future evolutionary potential – the three temporal scales of conservation (Bowen 1999).

An examination of the scales of management suggests that for conservation outcomes on privately managed grazing enterprises to be positive, a new modus operandi for conservation governance is urgently needed.
