What do conservation biologists publish?

摘要: Abstract We provide an overview of publications from three prominent conservation journals (Biodiversity &Conservation, Biological Conservation and Biology) published in 2001 (n = 547 papers). found a wide breadth studies different topics climates habitats across range spatial scales. Most were quantitative (89%) used inferential statistics (63%). Research was biased towards vertebrates, forests, relatively pristine landscapes, single species assemblages rather than communities or ecosystems. Despite assertions the literature that is synthetic, eclectic multi-disciplinary, few truly cross-disciplinary (13%). In addition, investigated loss native vegetation (2%), specifically studied introduced (4%) non-threatened (4%). 20% 37% had high relevance to policy management, respectively. However, only 12.6% actively went out test review actions. Although many are covered literature, improvements possible. suggest: (1) broadening number habitats, taxonomic groups scales (2) providing closer clearer links with other disciplines research approaches, management.
