Non-monotonic vegetation activity trends in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River: masking evidence of wetland degradation?
(Elsevier, 2021-09-14)
To understand the consequences of unsustainable management practices and global change, analyzing the patterns of ecosystem functioning and land degradation is as important as quantifying the spatio-temporal patterns of ...
Balancing food production and nature conservation in the Neotropical dry forests of northern Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-12)
The growing human population and the increase in per capita food consumption are driving agriculture expansion and affecting natural ecosystems around the world. To balance increasing agriculture production and nature ...
Context-dependency and anthropogenic effects on individual plant–frugivore networks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
Anthropogenic activities, such as grazing by domestic animals, are considered drivers of environmental changes that may influence the structure of interaction networks. The study of individual-based networks allows testing ...
Nature protection across countries: Do size and power matter?
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-08)
Protected areas are one of the most effective tools for nature conservation. Consequently, almost all countries have agreed to set increasingly demanding goals for the expansion of their protected area systems. However, ...
Sea Level Trend and Fronts in the South Atlantic Ocean
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-06)
The understanding of the physical drivers of sea level trend is crucial on global and regional scales. In particular, little is known about the sea level trend in the South Atlantic Ocean in comparison with other parts of ...
High-latitude dust in the Earth system
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-06)
Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of high-latitude (≥50°N and ≥40°S) ...
Does National power trigger ocean conservation?
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2020-09-11)
States are reacting to the global crises of biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services mainly through the expansion of their networks of protected areas. This reaction would have been boosted by the commitments ...
MASTREE+: Time-series of plant reproductive effort from six continents
(Wiley, 2022-04-01)
Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long-lived plants requires direct observation over many years and such ...
Evolutionary changes in symbiont community structure in ticks
(2017-06)
Ecological specialization to restricted diet niches is driven by obligate, and often maternally inherited, symbionts in many arthropod lineages. These heritable symbionts typically form evolutionarily stable associations ...
Trends in the detection of aquatic non‐indigenous species across global marine, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems: A 50‐year perspective
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Aim: The introduction of aquatic non-indigenous species (ANS) has become a major driver for global changes in species biogeography. We examined spatial patterns and temporal trends of ANS detections since 1965 to inform ...
