opinions on new Journal Endangered Species Research

Anyone want to tell me what they think of this journal? Anyone care to indicate if they think it will make ISI or not? Do you think its a good journal? If you prefer, you can email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks for the feedback. On Thu, July 19, 2007 6:24 pm, Brendan Godley wrote: >

This is a critical point in ecotoxicology. Ecotoxicology has standardized terminology, and there are ASTM Standard Methods documents outlining these. Too bad more of the biological literature didn't follow this lead. By standardizing terminology, everyone says what they mean and mean what they s

Re: assisting natural processes

The changes in Arkansas that were projected by the EPA suggest increases in rainfall up to 20% by 2100. If any plant species can adapt to this in less that 100 yrs I will be shocked. Ecosystems and communities may adapt, but the species will either be preadapted or exptirpated in that time frame.

Re: assisted migration

The term "assisted migration" has recently been used most often in the context of anticipating global climate change. It does not generally refer to the construction of alternate paths for migratory species, but rather to moving a threatened species to a location outside of its current range. It ca

Re: assisting natural processes

While you may be right about change faster than nature, what you are implying may not be so easily done. Indeed, what it sounds like to me is basically translocation of plants - introducing species in places where we "think" they would end up after some interval of time, given large uncertainties

Re: assisted migration

Methinks you don't understand what is meant by assisted migration. The use of the term "migration" may cause some of the confusion. I suspect that it is not meant to refer to some attempt to establish new periodic migration regimes in species, such as geese, but instead to help move species to mo

There's no doubt whatsoever that projected rates of change are far greater than natural processes can accommodate. Maintaining adaptedness in plant populations will require the assistance of mankind to transfer the appropriate populations of the appropriate species to the new location of their clim

Re: assisted migration

Arguably, the entire field of diadromous fish passage could be considered an example of assisted migration. Fishways are structures designed to assist migration; sometimes this amounts to mechanical transport, including trapping animals and transporting them above or below dams. This is a con

Although this is really a religious rather than scientific debate which is unlikely to lead to any concensus, I want to respond to some of Jim Roper's comments. The fact that you can learn a lot by looking at plots does not mean the that "results are so glaringly obvious". Humans are very good
