  4. Interaction Conservation

  5. Interaction Conservation • Thompson, J. N. 1996. Evolutionary ecology and the conservation of biodiversity. TREE 11:300-303. • Both ecological and evolutionary consequences • Geographic-mosaic theory of evolution / coevolution

  6. Geographic Mosaic Theory • Species are groups of genetically differentiated populations • Outcomes of interactions vary among communities • Interacting species differ in their geographic ranges Thompson, J. N. 1997. Evaluating the dynamics of coevolution among geographically structured populations. Ecology 78:1619-1623.

  7. Geographic Mosaic Theory Thompson, J. N. 1997. Evaluating the dynamics of coevolution among geographically structured populations. Ecology 78:1619-1623.

  8. Should we focus conservation efforts on: • Wilderness areas: Pristine areas far from human contact • Wildlife areas bordering “high density” human populations

  9. Biodiversity and Human Density in Sub-Saharan Africa

  10. Biodiversity and Human Density in Sub-Saharan Africa

  11. Gardenification Janzen, D. 1998. Gardenification of Wildland Nature and the Human Footprint. Science 279:1312-1313. Janzen, D. 1999. Gardenification of tropical conserved wildlands: Multitasking, multicropping, and multiusers. PNAS 96:5987-5994.

  12. Biodiversity and Human Conflict • 4 spp. of birds found on islands of Western Pacific delisted or upgraded (listed on the basis of surveys immediately following WWII) • The civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo has devastated wildlife – Garamba Park: ~ 4,000 / 12,000 elephants killed between 1995 and 1999.
