Managing for Species Adaptive Capacity

A new paper authored by researchers at federal agencies, regional partnerships, and universities, including Appalachian LCC Coordinator and Senior Scientist Dr. Jean Brennan, proposes a new conceptual paradigm for adaptive capacity.

The paper details managing for species adaptive capacity in an ecosystem context and suggests a path forward in light of the role that adaptive capacity information could play in improving conservation assessments, plans, and actions.

Titled Improving Conservation Outcomes with a New Paradigm for Understanding Species’ Fundamental and Realized Adaptive Capacity, the paper was published in Conservation Letters, a journal of the Society for Conservation Biology and can be found here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/conl.12190/pdf
