Understanding the distribution of a threatened bird at multiple levels: A hierarchical analysis of the ecological niche of the Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant (Myiotheretes pernix)
(Cooper Ornithological Soc., 2015)
An understanding of the ecological factors determining bird species’ distributions is essential for making informed
conservation decisions. These data are especially important for range-restricted species, such as the ...
Effects of the precipitation regimen and spatial scale on the invertebrate communities and ecosystem processes in phytotelmataEffects of the precipitation regimen and spatial scale on the invertebrate communities and ecosystem processes in phytotelmata
(UniandesUniandesDoctorado en Ciencias - BiologíaDoctorado en Ciencias - BiologíaFacultad de CienciasFacultad de CienciasDepartamento de BiologíaDepartamento de Biología, 2015)
Understanding the factors that drive community stmcture and ecosystem processes are a relevant goal in ecology. One factor is environmental heterogeneity that alters communities through changes in habitat and available ...
Área de vida e seleção de habitat por sabiás (Turdus leucomelas, Turdidae) em ambiente urbanizado
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2015-10-28)
The process of urbanization is one of the main human activities that alter natural environments, bringing numerous environmental impacts such as the reduction and fragmentation of natural habitats, causing loss of biodiversity, ...
Habitat simplification affects nuclear-follower foraging association among stream fishes
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia, 2014)
Engineering by an invasive species alters landscape-level ecosystem function, but does not affect biodiversity in freshwater systems
(Wiley, 2014-02)
Aim: Ecological theory predicts that invasive ecosystem engineers like the American beaver (Castor canadensis) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) affect landscape-level biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) when engineered ...
Lentic habitats as study models for assessing aquatic contamination
(2015-01-01)
Given water scarcity and climate change caused by human activities, the degradation of water resources, such as lentic habitats, is currently a major concern worldwide because of the direct or indirect damage it can cause ...
Reproductive site selection in the leaf-frog Phyllomedusa azurea Cope, 1862 (Anura: Hylidae) in altered areas of the Brazilian Cerrado
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-11-25)
The selection of reproductive sites by anurans may be associated with each species' behavioural restrictions, reproductive modes, morphology and physiology. We investigated the use of reproductive sites by Phyllomedusa ...
Forest edges negatively influence daily nest survival rates of a grassland tinamou, the spotted nothura (Nothura maculosa)
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2021-01)
Grassland degradation and fragmentation produced by land use have globally impacted biodiversity. In the Neo-tropics, the Pampas Grasslands have been greatly altered by agriculture and the introduction of exotic trees. To ...
