摘要: Despite the volume of academic conservation biology literature, there is little evidence as to what effect this work having on endangered species recovery efforts. Using data collected from a national review 136 and threatened plans, we evaluated whether plans were changing in response publication trends four areas literature: metapopulation dynamics, population viability analysis, corridors, genetics.
