contents Assessing small island prioritisation using species rarity: the tenebrionid beetles of Italy Simone Fattorini Leonardo Dapporto Ciencias de la Tierra Italy Insects Mediterranean Island Biogeography Conservation Planning We investigated conservation priorities of Italian small islands on the basis of tenebrionid species (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae) whichare insects typically associated with coastal environments. Firstly, we estimated vulnerability of tenebrionid island communities in fourdifferent ways using their inter-island distribution, their overall rarity, their biogeographical characterization and the coastal perimeter ofthe occupied islands. Then, these four sets of vulnerability values were used to rank biotopes using the Biodiversity Conservation Concernindex, BCC, which reflects the average rarity score of the species present in a site, and the Biodiversity Conservation Weight index, BCW,which reflects the sum of rarity scores of the same species assemblage. We found that most of the studied islands have been recovered ashaving some conservation value, but the Tuscan Islands, Ustica, Pantelleria and the Pelagie Islands were found to have highest priority. 2014 artículo científico 1646-8872 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=388340107004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3883 Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada - Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management application/pdf Associação Portuguesa dos Recursos Hídricos Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada - Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (Portugal) Num.2 Vol.14
