Anuran responses to spatial patterns of agricultural landscapes in Argentina
(2016-12)
Context: Amphibians are declining worldwide and land use change to agriculture is recognized as a leading cause. Argentina is undergoing an agriculturalization process with rapid changes in landscape structure.
Objectives: ...
Landscape resistance influences effective dispersal of endangered golden lion tamarins within the Atlantic Forest
(2018-08-01)
Habitat fragmentation threatens tropical rainforests, which can significantly hinder dispersal in species such as arboreal primates. For conservation actions to be effective there must be an understanding of how landscape ...
Responses of aerial insectivorous bats to landscape composition and heterogeneity in organic vineyards
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Landscape composition and heterogeneity are considered important factors for enhancing biodiversity and their associated ecosystem services in human-modified landscapes. Despite their roles in pest suppression in agricultural ...
Effect of the management and landscape context on the interactions between predators and parasitoids in Wheat fields
(2016)
Introduction: Landscape complexity may provide ecosystem services to agriculture through the provision of natural enemies
of agricultural pests. Strong positive effect of adjacent semi-natural habitats on natural enemies ...
Pasture area and landscape heterogeneity are key determinants of bird diversity in intensively managed farmland
(Springer, 2011-11)
Agriculture intensification has drastically altered farmland mosaics, while semi-natural grasslands have been considerably reduced and fragmented. Bird declines in northern temperate latitudes are attributed to habitat ...
Habitat selection by the black-tufted marmoset Callithrix penicillata in human-disturbed landscapes
(Cambridge University Press, 2019)
Threshold effect of habitat loss on bat richness in cerrado-forest landscapes
(2016-09-01)
Understanding how animal groups respond to contemporary habitat loss and fragmentation is essential for development of strategies for species conservation. Until now, there has been no consensus about how landscape degradation ...
Effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on the abundance and species richness of aphidophagous beetles and aphids in experimental alfalfa landscapes
(CZECH ACAD SCI, INST ENTOMOLOGY, 2008)
In agro-ecosystems, habitat loss and fragmentation may alter the assemblage of aphidophagous insects, Such as foliar-foraging (coccinellids) and ground-foraging predators (carabids), potentially affecting intraguild ...
Long-term effects of a rural landscape on the structure and trophic organization of a fish assemblageEfeitos de longo prazo de uma paisagem rural sobre a estrutura e organizaçao trófica de uma assembleia de peixes
(2019-01-01)
Aim: We investigated the long-term effects of a rural landscape on the structure and trophic organization of a fish assemblage. Methods: We compared environmental data and data from fish assemblage structure and trophic ...
