The relationship between pond habitat depth and functional tadpole diversity in an agricultural landscape
(2015-07-01)
One of the most important goals of biodiversity studies is to identify which characteristics of local habitats act as filters that determine the diversity of functional traits along environmental gradients. In this study, ...
Remote Sensing of Plant Biodiversity
This Open Access volume aims to methodologically improve our understanding of biodiversity by linking disciplines that incorporate remote sensing, and uniting data and perspectives in the fields of biology, landscape ...
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in the semideciduous Atlantic Forest: An ecological and morphological trait dataset for functional studies
(Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020-03-12)
Background
The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition; ...
Comparing taxon- and trait-environment relationships in stream communities
(2020-10-01)
Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because ...
EFSA's environmental risk assessment of the apple snail for the EU: a novel approach
(International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies, 2015-06)
The Island apple snail was accidentally released in the rice fields in the Ebro Delta in Spain in 2010, and is spreading since then, threatening also the natural environment. In 2014, EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed ...
Seven Shortfalls That Beset Large-scale Knowledge Of Biodiversity

The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)
© 2021 The Royal Entomological SocietyA greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of ...
A framework for the classification Chilean terrestrial ecosystems as a tool for achieving global conservation targets
(Springer, 2017)
Countries that are signatories of the Convention of Biological Diversity are committed to the goal of protecting 17% of their natural ecosystems by 2020. The lack of an up-to-date, operational classification and cartography ...
Integrating phylogenetic and functional biodiversity facets to guide conservation: a case study using anurans in a global biodiversity hotspot
(2018-10-01)
The Cerrado is one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil, with little spatial representation within the Protected Area network. Recently, proposed conservation plans worldwide have advocated for the use of multiple ...
