LandScape Corridors (lscorridors): a new software package for modelling ecological corridors based on landscape patterns and species requirements
(2017-11-01)
Maintaining connectivity is one of the main challenges for biodiversity conservation world-wide. Ecological corridors are important to maintain landscape connectivity, but their efficiency depends on landscape patterns and ...
Measuring cumulative effects in a fragmented landscape
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2012)
Loss of landscape multifunctionality in La Tatacoa desert Colombian region, scenarios 2025 - 2050
(Bogotá : Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales, 2018Facultad de Ciencias Ambientales y de la SostenibilidadMaestría en Ciencias Ambientales, 2018)
Landscape change is an opportunity to design multifunctional landscapes that meet multiple value goals (ecological, social, and economic). Thus,spatial analysis of multifunctional landscapes provides a ...
Land-use and land-cover change in Atlantic Forest landscapes
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012)
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened tropical biomes, with much of the standing forest in small (less than 50 ha), disturbed and isolated patches. The pattern of land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) which ...
A mathematical approach to simulate spatio-temporal patterns of an insect-pest, the corn rootworm Diabrotica speciosa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in intercropping systems
(Springer, 2014-11-01)
We report on the use of a spatially explicit model and clustering analysis in order to investigate habitat manipulation as a strategy to regulate natural population densities of the insect-pest Diabrotica speciosa. Habitat ...
Simulating Population Genetics of Pathogen Vectors in Changing Landscapes: Guidelines and Application with Triatoma brasiliensis
(Public Library Science, 2014-08-01)
Background: Understanding the mechanisms that influence the population dynamics and spatial genetic structure of the vectors of pathogens infecting humans is a central issue in tropical epidemiology. In view of the rapid ...
Dispersal movement through fragmented landscapes: the role of stepping stones and perceptual range
(2021-11-01)
Context: Dispersal is a crucial process for species persistence under natural and disturbed landscapes. The effectiveness of stepping stones as a connectivity strategy for increasing dispersal success depends on landscape ...
Environmental suitability of a highly fragmented and heterogeneous landscape for forest bird species in south-eastern Brazil
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESSNEW YORK, 2012)
Assessment of the suitability of anthropogenic landscapes for wildlife species is crucial for setting priorities for biodiversity conservation. This study aimed to analyse the environmental suitability of a highly fragmented ...
