This article makes an assessment of the major themes and issues related to Ecology and Conservation. Highlights the importance of landscape mosaics, interactions between vegetation cover and vegetation configuration, using an appropriate landscape conceptual model, and maintaining the capacity to recover from disturbance; lay out management approaches in an adaptive framework; and propose areas for future research.

This assessment of climate change addresses trends, case studies and scenarios. Bold initiatives and innovative measures spearheading a properly funded, well-insured clean energy transition can create the blueprint for a sustainable engine of growth for the 21st Century.

Researchers at the Western Transportation Institute synthesized information obtained from a system-wide survey of resource managers to assess the magnitude of their concerns on the impacts of roads on park wildlife. The results characterize current conditions and help identify wildlife-transportation conflicts.

The Working Group on land use change and disease emergence grew out of a special colloquium that convened international experts in infectious diseases, ecology, and environmental health to assess the current state of knowledge and to develop recommendations for addressing these environmental health challenges.

Discusses bark beetle impacts in the face of climate change and wildfire regimes, citing drought weakened forest stands as drivers of increased infestation and ultimately increased fuel availability.

A primer for those who view the Rocky Mountain region north of the Canada-US border as pristine and secure. Introduces the Yellowstone to Yukon initiative to an audience outside of the conservation community.
