We outline four 20 basic needs in assessing pollen–plant richness relationships – modern pollen data, modern vegetation data, 21 pollen–plant translation tables, and quantification of the co-variation between modern pollen and vegetation 22 compositional data. We discuss three key estimates and one numerical tool – richness estimation, evenness 23 estimation, diversity estimation, and statistical modelling. We consider the inherent problems and biases in 24 assessing pollen–plant richness relationships – taxonomic precision, pollen-sample:pollen-population ratios, 25 pollen-representation bias, and underlying concepts of evenness and diversity.

No. I' I Pll'ZMOUi'H LIB!=IAAV: I I Abstract Spatial and temporal variation in the diet and prey preference of juvenile lemon sharks Prey selection has never been determined in an elasmobranch, primarily because of the large home ranges possessed by adults making accurate quantification of prey in the environment problematic. Juvenile lemon sharks spend their first few years of life within protected nursery grounds, enabling the first quantification of prey selection due to the restricted area that they inhabit. Growth and survival of juvenile lemon sharks strongly influences adult fitness and recruitment, and therefore prey selection may play an important role in the life history of lemon sharks. The selection of a preferred species or size of prey by juvenile lemon sharks was determined by comparing the proportions of prey in the diet with proportions of prey in the environment at Bimini, Bahamas, between March 2000 and March 2003. The diet of lemon sharks was quantitatively described from the analysis of 642 shark stomachs (54.7 ± 0.3 cm precaudal length PCL, mean ± S.E., range 43.5 to 90.0 cm), of which 396 (62 %) contained food items.

Academic Editors: Géraldine Froger and Olivier Petit Received: 27 February 2015 / Accepted: 28 May 2015 / Published: 9 June 2015 Abstract: Although many countries have included biodiversity offsetting (BO) requirements in their environmental regulations over the past four decades, this mechanism has recently been the object of renewed political interest. Incorporated into the mitigation hierarchy in three steps aimed at avoiding, reducing and offsetting residual impacts on biodiversity arising from development projects, BO is promoted as the way to achieve the political goal of No Net Loss of biodiversity (NNL). The recent success of BO is mainly based on its ability to provide economic incentives for biodiversity conservation. However, the diversity of BO mechanisms (direct offsets, banking mechanism and offsetting funds) and the various institutional frameworks within which they are applied generate substantial confusion about their economic and ecological implications.
