What is Conservation Biology?

23.5K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Evolutionary Psychology01:20

Evolutionary Psychology

697
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Psychology explores human behavior and mental processes through various lenses, each offering unique insights. This overview examines key subfields, including biopsychology, evolutionary, developmental, personality, and social psychology, highlighting their approaches and contributions to understanding complex human behaviors.

Conservation of Small Populations

16.2K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Defining Psychology01:24

Defining Psychology

7.3K
Psychology is the scientific discipline dedicated to understanding both observable behavior and the internal mental processes underlying such behavior. It aims to comprehend human nature and apply this understanding to solve practical problems, enhance well-being, and improve societal outcomes. An example of psychology's application is the study of prosocial behavior, such as why and under what conditions individuals might help strangers in need. This process involves describing observed...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation science
  • Social psychology
  • Conservation psychology

Background:

  • Conservation science and practice frequently utilize social psychology theories and methods.
  • Human cognition, emotion, and behavior are key to biodiversity conservation.
  • Conservation psychology broadly describes the application of social psychology in conservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map the conservation psychology literature.
  • To identify trends, gaps, and research practices.
  • To critically reflect on the state and influence of conservation psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic map of cross-disciplinary literature.
  • Collection and collation of peer-reviewed research.
  • Focus on multidisciplinary conservation journals (1974-2016).

Main Results:

  • Publication volume increased significantly from 1974 to 2016.
  • Disproportionate focus on attitudes, beliefs, North America, Europe, and terrestrial/rural contexts.
  • Predominance of descriptive, quantitative, and atheoretical studies.

Conclusions:

  • Conservation psychology has gained visibility but within a limited scope.
  • Research practices and reporting standards require wider adoption.
  • Universal adoption of empirical research principles is needed to enhance conservation outcomes.
