THEME ISSUE: "Incorporating climate change into endangered species = conservation"
=20 A theme issue of fast growing conservation journal Endangered Species = Research (ESR) http://www.int-res.com/journals/esr/ focusing on = "Incorporating climate change into endangered species conservation" is = in preparation for publication mid 2008. As the spectre of climate = change moves from a point of debate to an accepted reality, there is a = need to incorporate it into all aspects of human activity. This is = especially true of conservation efforts aimed at management and recovery = of endangered species and habitats. How will the fundamental biology of = target species change? What will be the effect of predicted extreme = weather events? Will extant protected areas still function? How will = societal adaptive changes such as renewable energy generation affect = species already of conservation concern? Does our existing policy = framework need to be remodeled? Manuscripts addressing these and related = topics are welcomed, whether they be original articles, reviews or = considered opinion pieces. To discuss the suitability of a manuscript = for inclusion in this ESR Special, please contact Dr. Leah Hannah (ESR = Editor) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or Dr. Brendan Godley (ESR = Editor-in-Chief) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All articles will be published open-access so high profile and = visibility is assured. This ESR theme issue compliments others underway: For 2007: "Tracking vertebrates for their conservation". Now building with 2 = articles published, 3 in press and 10 in review. For 2008: "Bycatch: problems and solutions" "Bats: status, threats and conservation successes" "Forensic methods in conservation" "Range-wide status and conservation of the goliath grouper" Please pass this message on to those who you think may be interested.
