Spatial prioritization for species recovery programmes needs to be evidence based, and it may be better to target effort in certain parts of a species rangeB but I'm struggling to find examples where interventions have been applied with good spatial replication across a species range. Agri-environment schemes perhaps provide the best opportunity for such studies. Maybe there are other interventions applied across big areas, that have been monitored and assessed (both the level of intervention and the animal/plant population response).
I'm not sure what you're asking. but I have this paper that maybe is related

Thanks. I am interested in this issue as I'm currently looking at spatial prioritization for single species recovery programmes, to inform conservation policy. There are several spatial questions related to this - for example is it better to direct resources in a species core or edge of range? I have found very few tests of conservation interventions applied right across a species range (i.e. covering a theoretical, or measured, core and edge).
I am also interested in examples of where a conservation intervention has been applied on the edge or outside a current range but where the dispersal ecology of the species, or range shift under climatic change, means colonisation or sustained population persistence is unlikely (i.e. where resources have been directed with little prospect of success).
