This article discusses the conservation challenges of volant migratory transborder species and conservation governance primarily in North America. Many migratory species provide ecosystem service benefits to society. For example, insectivorous bats prey on crop pests and reduce the need for pesticides; birds and insects pollinate food plants; and birds afford recreational opportunities to hunters and birdwatchers. Migration is driven by the seasonal availability of resources; as resources in one area become seasonally scarce, individuals move to locations where resources have become seasonally abundant. The separation of the annual lifecycle means that species management and governance is often fractured across international borders. Because migratory species depend on habitat in different locations, their ability to provide ecosystem services in one area depends on the spatial subsidies, or support, provided by habitat and ecological processes in other areas. This creates telecouplings, or interconnectio...

跨界迁徙物种的生态系统服务：对保护治理的影响

本文讨论了主要在北美的自由迁徙跨界物种和保护治理的保护挑战。许多迁徙物种为社会提供生态系统服务效益。例如，食虫蝙蝠捕食农作物害虫，减少对杀虫剂的需求；鸟类和昆虫为食用植物授粉；鸟类为猎人和观鸟者提供了娱乐机会。迁移是由资源的季节性可用性驱动的；随着某一地区的资源季节性稀缺，人们就会迁往资源季节性丰富的地区。年度生命周期的分离意味着物种管理和治理经常跨越国际边界。因为迁徙物种依赖于不同地点的栖息地，它们在一个地区提供生态系统服务的能力取决于其他地区的生境和生态过程提供的空间补贴或支持。这创建了远程耦合或互连...
