Using completeness and defaunation indices to understand nature reserve’s key attributes in preserving medium- and large-bodied mammals

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Medium- and large-bodied mammals (MLM) are of global interest of conservation due to their indispensable role in ecosystem functioning and sensitivity to human activities. Conservationists regard MLMs’ species richness as an important indicator of the conservation effectiveness of nature reserves (NR). However, species richness alone is unable to detect how much of the species pool is realized within local communi...
