Evaluating the effects of common-pool resource institutions and market forces on species richness and forest cover in Ecuadorian indigenous Kichwa communities
| By J. Oldekop, A. Bebbington, K. Hennermann, J. McMorrow, D.A. Springate, B. Torres, N.Truelove, N. Tysklind, S. Villamarín and R. Preziosi | Published by Conversation Letters | Abstract: We compare conservation outcomes between a protected area (PA) and four indigenous common-property regimes (CPRs) under differing degrees of market integration in the Ecuadorian Amazon. We first assess […]
Co-occurence patterns of common and rare leaf-litter frogs, epiphytic ferns and dung beetles across a gradient of human intervention
| By J. Oldekop, A. Bebbington, N.Truelove, N. Tysklind, S. Villamarín and R. Preziosi | Published by PLoS One7(6) e38922 | Abstract: Indicator taxa are commonly used to identify priority areas for conservation or to measure biological responses to environmental change. Despite their widespread use, there is no general consensus about the ability of indicator taxa to […]
Environmental impacts and scarcity perception influence local institutions in indigenous Amazonian Kichwa communities
| By J. Oldekop, A. Bebbington, N. Truelove, G. Holmes, S. Villamarín, R. Preziosi | Published in Human Ecology 40: 101 | Abstract: Much of the literature on common-pool resources has focused on elucidating the social mechanisms and local institutions that lead to the regulation of common-pool resources. There is much less information about how […]
Testing the Accuracy of Non-Experts in Biodiversity Monitoring Exercises using Fern Species Richness in the Ecuadorian Amazon
| By J. Oldekop, A. Bebbington, F. Berdel, N. Truelove, T. Wiersberg, R. Preziosi | Published in Biodiversity and Conservation 20(12): 2615-2626 | Abstract: Assessing environmental change is often constrained by time, money and expertise. Community-based monitoring schemes attempt to address these limitations by providing local communities with the skills to measure changes in natural […]
Understanding the lessons and limitations of conservation and development
| By J.Oldekop, A. Bebbington, D. Brockington, R. Preziosi | Conservation Biology 24(2): 461-469 | Abstract: The lack of concrete instances in which conservation and development have been successfully merged has strengthened arguments for strict exclusionist conservation policies. Research has focused more on social cooperation and conflict of different management regimes and less on how these factors actually […]
