The social sciences are one important means through which researchers and practitioners can attain that better understanding. Yet, a lack of awareness of the scope and uncertainty about the purpose of the conservation social sciences impedes the conservation community's effective engagement with the human dimensions. This paper examines the scope and purpose of eighteen subfields of classic, interdisciplinary and applied conservation social sciences and articulates ten distinct contributions that the social sciences can make to understanding and improving conservation. In brief, the conservation social sciences can be valuable to conservation for descriptive, diagnostic, disruptive, reflexive, generative, innovative, or instrumental reasons. This review and supporting materials provides a succinct yet comprehensive reference for conservation scientists and practitioners. We contend that the social sciences can help facilitate conservation policies, actions and outcomes that are more legitimate, salient, robust and effective."

The importance of herbivore density and management as determinants of the distribution of rare plant species / James Speed in Biological conservation, vol. 205 (Janvier 2017)

Public [article]  inBiological conservation > vol. 205 (Janvier 2017) . - pp. 77-84 Titre : The importance of herbivore density and management as determinants of the distribution of rare plant species Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James Speed (James D.M.), Auteur ; Gunnar Austrheim, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp. 77-84 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [ZG] Norvège [habitats/milieux] 3 - Landes, fruticées et prairies [Thèmes] Liste rouge [Thèmes] Pâturage Mots-clés : interaction biotique  préservation  modélisation de la distribution d'espèces  plante rare Résumé : "Herbivores are often drivers of ecosystem states and dynamics and in many situations are managed either as livestock or through controlled or exploitative hunting of wild populations. Changes in herbivore density can affect the composition of plant communities. Management of herbivore densities could therefore be regulated to benefit plant species of conservation concern. In this study we use a unique spatial dataset of large herbivores in Norway to test whether herbivore density affects the distribution of rare red-listed plant species in tundra ecosystems, and to identify regions where herbivore density is the most important factor in determining the habitat suitability for the plant species. For all selected species a climatic variable was the most important determinant of the distribution, but herbivore density was an important determinant of some species notably Primula scandinavica. Herbivore density was the most important factor determining habitat suitability for this species in 13% of mainland Norway. Regions of Norway where the management of herbivore densities is most strongly linked to the habitat suitability of red-listed plant species are mapped. However, there was very low concordance in the localities of these areas; at any individual locality, habitat suitability was limited by herbivore density for only a small subset of the species. This suggests that management of herbivores for the benefit of rare plant species needs to be tailored for individual locations or species."
