Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller patches of habitat, they must compete more aggressively for dwindling food resources and territory. This is more than just an unfortunate side effect of human progress. As key species populations dwindle, ecosystems are losing resilience and face collapse, and along with them, the ecosystem services we depend on. Healthy ecosystems need healthy wildlife populations. One possible answer ? Wildlife corridors that connect fragmented landscapes.This new and expanded second edition of Corridor Ecology : Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Adaptation captures the many advances in the field over the past ten years. It builds on concepts presented in the first edition on the importance and practical details of maintaining and restoring land connectivity. New to this edition is a guest-edited chapter on ecological connectivity in oceans, including a detailed discussion on pelagic marine corridors and how coastal corridors can provide critical connectivity between marine protected areas. Another new chapter considers the effects of climate change on habitat and offers recommendations on designing effective corridors as landscapes change with shifting climate conditions. The book also includes a discussion of corridors in the air for migrating flying species, from birds to bats, butterflies, and even plant propagules—a concept so new that a term to describe it has yet to be coined. All chapters are thoroughly revised and updated.Practitioners as well as serious scholars of landscape ecology and the science of protecting biodiversity will find this new edition of corridor ecology science an indispensable resource.

Les corridors écologiques sont désormais au coeur des politiques de conservation de la nature. En cherchant à relier entre eux les espaces naturels, ils freinent le déclin de la diversité biologique en limitant les effets de la fragmentation des habitats naturels et en compensant les effets du changement climatique. Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de l'intégration du concept de corridor en droit international et en droit comparé et permet de comprendre l'évolution du droit qui a accompagné les politiques de conservation de la nature. Le droit de la protection de la nature s'est, dans un premier temps, attaché à la protection des espèces. La prise de conscience de l'importance des écosystèmes a permis, dans un deuxième temps, l'adoption de textes visant à protéger les espèces et leurs habitats naturels. Cependant, cette méthode de protection de la nature a abouti à la préservation d'îlots de nature qui se sont avérés incapables de répondre aux enjeux de maintien de la diversité biologique. L'introduction des corridors écologiques dans les textes juridiques implique une conservation de la nature au-delà des aires protégées, intégrée aux politiques d'aménagement du territoire. Ces évolutions sont la marque d'une transition vers un troisième temps de la conservation de la nature.

River networks are critically important ecosystems. This interdisciplinary book provides an integrated ecohydrological framework blending laboratory, field, and theoretical evidence that changes our understanding of river networks as ecological corridors. It describes how the physical structure of the river environment impacts biodiversity, species invasions, population dynamics, and the spread of waterborne disease. State-of-the-art research on the ecological roles of the structure of river networks is summarized, including important studies on the spread and control of waterborne diseases, biodiversity loss due to water resource management, and invasions by non-native species. Practical implications of this research are illustrated with numerous examples throughout. This is an invaluable go-to reference for graduate students and researchers interested in river ecology and hydrology, and the links between the two. Describing new related research on spatially-explicit modeling of the spread of waterborne disease, this book will also be of great interest to epidemiologists and public health managers.
