Mendukung kupu-kupu di perkebunan kelapa sawit milik petani kecil

Martina Harianja membahas penelitian terbaru tentang kumpulan kupu-kupu yang merinci bagaimana, bersama rekan-rekannya, mereka mencatat lebih dari 1200 kupu-kupu di 27 perkebunan kelapa sawit yang berbeda. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa peremajaan kelapa sawit dan pilihan mono atau polikultur memiliki efek yang relatif kecil pada kupu-kupu. Namun, manajemen untuk fitur spesifik di perkebunan dapat menguntungkan kumpulan kupu-kupu. Continue reading Mendukung kupu-kupu di perkebunan kelapa sawit milik petani kecil

Supporting butterflies within smallholding oil palm plantations

Martina Harianja discusses the latest research into butterfly assemblages detailing how, alongside colleagues, they recorded over 1200 butterflies across 27 different oil palm plantations. Findings suggest that replanting oil palm and choice of mono or polyculture had relatively few effects on butterflies. However, management for specific features in plantations could benefit butterfly assemblages. Continue reading Supporting butterflies within smallholding oil palm plantations

Menyokong rama-rama dalam ladang kelapa sawit pekebun kecil

Martina Harianja membincangkan penyelidikan terkini mengenai perhimpunan rama-rama yang memperincikan bagaimana, bersama rakan sekerja, mereka merekodkan lebih 1200 rama-rama di 27 ladang kelapa sawit yang berbeza. Penemuan menunjukkan bahawa penanaman semula kelapa sawit dan pilihan mono atau polikultur mempunyai sedikit kesan pada rama-rama. Walau bagaimanapun, pengurusan untuk ciri-ciri tertentu di ladang boleh memberi manfaat kepada pemasangan rama-rama. Continue reading Menyokong rama-rama dalam ladang kelapa sawit pekebun kecil

A decadal study reveals that restoration guided by an umbrella species does not reach target levels

Author Albin Larsson Ekström discusses how their latest research evaluates the decadal effects of restoration aimed at the white-backed woodpecker on the biodiversity of saproxylic beetles. The study suggests that, for restoration to be successful, both continuous and repeated restoration efforts are needed. Restoration guided by the umbrella species concept A long history of intensive forest management has transformed the forests of Sweden into well-managed … Continue reading A decadal study reveals that restoration guided by an umbrella species does not reach target levels

Predicting dispersal and conflict risk for wolf recolonisation in Colorado

Mark Ditmer discusses his and colleagues’ new research which aims to predict wolf movement and potential conflict hotspots following the state of Colorado’s decision to reintroduce gray wolves. This data may be used to offer practical, actionable recommendations for decision-makers. Animal movement and conflict risk Species’ ranges are shifting – and accurately predicting the way species disperse in novel areas can greatly enhance conservation efforts. … Continue reading Predicting dispersal and conflict risk for wolf recolonisation in Colorado
