Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vertebrates are one of the most threatened biodiversity groups in the context of global change. Habitat destruction and fragmentation, the impact of human activities, illegal trafficking, invasive alien species, emerging diseases or climate change are some of the main drivers behind the decline in their populations. A great research effort has been made in recent decades to develop new methodologies for the study and quantification of these impacts, and to provide novel proposals to favor the conservation of this group of fauna. This Topic aims to bring together a wide range of primary research papers for vertebrate conservation around the world, offering examples from a broad spectrum of themes representing the current state of the art.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  1. novel approaches to vertebrate conservation biology;
  2. studies on the drivers of vertebrate population decline;
  3. results of conservation plans and strategies;
  4. relevant aspects of the ecology of vertebrate populations in relation to their conservation;
  5. incorporation of local perspectives in vertebrate conservation.
