A multispecies approach to ecological valuation and conservation
Article Abstract:
A method is developed to weigh habitat-suitability maps for individual species by species-specific extinction risks. This approach, which is applied to a set of species from California Gap Analysis Project, provides an estimate of the ecological worth of a site based on habitat characteristics and quantitative models for all the species.

Bayesian methods in conservation biology
Article Abstract:
Bayesian statistical inference is more appropriate to study conservation biology problems than the traditional statistical method. The method calculates the probability of the value of a parameter given the observed data. A Bayesian method allows decision theory to be applied to conservation problems.

Identifying a linked reserve system using a regional landscape approach: the Florida ecological network
Article Abstract:
Analysis of potential ecological connectivity is done to identify areas with priority conservation significance and landscape linkages as part of a state of Florida program called Greenways. This will help state to design and protect the reserve system based on an aggressive land acquisition program.
