Abstract:

The reduction of natural populations is a major conservation problem and the main cause of increased extinction risk. I investigated conservation issues that limit the growth of the pink pigeon population, including infection with Trichomonas gallinae, biased sex ratios and the reduction in both reproductive fitness and life history traits. In particular, I examined the association between these issues in the pink pigeon and genome-wide genetic variation using 45,841 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated using restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq).

As abelhas são extremamente importantes para a manutenção do serviço ecossistêmico de polinização e, dentre elas, as abelhas da tribo meliponini, merecem atenção pelo ferrão atrofiado e facilidade de manejo em áreas povoadas, além de sua capacidade de produzir mel. As abelhas sem ferrão são cultivadas há séculos por populações tradicionais, e essa atividade, chamada meliponicultura, vem ganhando adeptos no estado de São Paulo nos últimos anos.

Abstract:

Invasive species pose a major environmental threat, and are frequently the subject of biodiversity conservation programmes. As stakeholder and public concerns surrounding invasive species have become increasingly recognised and better articulated, society has become more closely involved in invasive species management. This has resulted in the need to ensure that positive ecological outcomes, such as protecting native species and habitats, and positive social outcomes, for example public support and improved stakeholder relationships, are both achieved as a result of management interventions.

Abstract:

Small and isolated plant populations have a higher probability of extinction – they are more susceptible to a range of environmental, demographic and genetic processes that may reduce population viability. In recent times, the number of populations and species that are susceptible to these processes has increased as a result of world-wide, human-induced habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation typically reduces the formerly more continuous natural distribution of a species to a series of smaller and more isolated populations that occur in smaller and more isolated habitat patches.

Abstract:

Biological invasions threaten biodiversity globally, and degraded ecosystems increase the potential for invaders to compete with threatened native populations. In natural systems, niche partitioning minimizes interspecific competition, but introduced species may alter expected outcomes by competing with ecologically similar species for scarce resources. Where food production is highly variable, coexistence of native and invasive competitors may depend on dietary niche flexibility. Territorial species under invasion face additional challenges to maintain economically defendable territories.

Conservation frequently requires immediate responses to prevent further declines of imperilled populations, often in the absence of detailed information. Consequently, population distribution patterns are often used to guide conservation decisions.

Abstract:

Translocation is widely used to counter the fragmentation and decline of populations of species at risk, in order to enhance their survival prospects. Additionally, translocation is used in ecological restoration to introduce taxa conferring strong positive influence, with the potential to recreate communities and reinstate functional roles. Conservation of species by translocation is considered high risk and high cost; therefore ecologists need to understand how success can be maximised. In this thesis, I test the community level impacts of a rare plant and evaluate the effectiveness of singl

Abstract:

Identifying the extent to which coral reef species are connected by dispersal is a fundamental challenge for developing marine conservation strategies. Many coral reef species are relatively sedentary as adults, yet have a pelagic larval phase where larvae can potentially be widely dispersed by ocean currents. This thesis focuses on the role of ocean currents in driving spatially explicit patterns of population connectivity among ecologically and commercially important coral reef species by combining research tools from population genetics, oceanography, and biophysical modeling. Despite the s
