Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation (PECON) is a scientific journal devoted to improving theoretical and conceptual aspects of conservation science. It has the main purpose of communicating new research and advances to different actors of society, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners, and policymakers. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation publishes original papers on biodiversity conservation and restoration, on the main drivers affecting native ecosystems, and on nature¿s benefits to people and human wellbeing. This scope includes studies on biodiversity patterns, the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, biological invasion and climate change on biodiversity, conservation genetics, spatial conservation planning, ecosystem management, ecosystem services, sustainability and resilience of socio-ecological systems, conservation policy, among others.
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation is the official scientific journal of the Brazilian Association for Ecological Science and Conservation. It is an open access journal, supported by the Boticário Group Foundation for Nature Protection, and thus without any charge for authors. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation was previously published, between 2003 and 2016, as 'Natureza & Conservação'.

Non-climatic variables improve ecological niche models (ENMs).

Addition of vegetation cover constrains predicted suitable areas.

Estimated areas differ most for birds with high and medium forest dependency.

ENM provides useful information to support quick decisions at broad scale.
- •
Functional and taxonomic composition of bird assemblages inside cities vary with the surrounding habitat.
- •
A landscape matrix mainly composed of native habitat may mitigate the urban impact on native communities.
- •
Species and traits turnover was more evident in the agricultural than in the forest landscape matrix.
- •
Urban areas should be managed to maintain a forest component and sure successful bird breed.
- •
The impact of future climate change on narrow-ranging species is poorly documented.
- •
We used a combination of techniques and high-resolution predictors to fill this gap.
- •
We predict a complete extirpation of suitable conditions across their range by 2070.
- •
Climate risk may be higher than expected in tropical narrow-ranging species.
- •
Proactive conservation actions are needed in tropical heterogeneous environments.
- •
Climate change is unlikely to modify relative habitat suitability for birds at a landscape scale in the Atlantic Forest (AF).
- •
AF landscapes with higher forest cover will remain more suitable regardless of climate change.
- •
Predicted impacts of climate change are minor regardless the spatial scale at which climatic suitability is quantified.
- •
Most AF landscapes have low habitat suitability for birds due to extensive deforestation.
- •
We compared the 8 components of the Human Influence Index (HII) on cause-specific mortality of North American mammals.
- •
Human population density had greatest positive influence on proportion of anthropogenic mortality.
- •
Conservation programs may be enhanced by more strongly considering the effects of human population density to conserve mammal populations.
- •
Here we demonstrated that large mammalian herbivores play a fundamental role in plant consumption and trampling.
- •
Because large herbivore activities are associated to palm fruit patches, we found that palm-herbivore association is an important component to understand forest productivity.
- •
Defaunation and palm harvesting can lead to important changes in forest structure, biomass and diversity in tropical forests.
- •
Small forest-steppe parches are embedded in pine plantation matrix in Central-Europe.
- •
Species turnover was higher for steppes than for forests, steppes are more isolated.
- •
Habitat type, fragments size and matrix quality affects plants spiders and ants.
- •
The habitat-specific matrix quality effects call for a situation-specific management.
