Disentangling the multiple components of anuran diversity associated to different land-uses in Yungas forests, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-10)
Natural habitats have drastically regressed due to rapid changes in land-use during recent decades, generating a decrease in species diversity. In light of natural habitat destruction worldwide, there is a need to adopt ...
The diversity of diversity: further methodological considerations on the use of the concept in cultural economics
(Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia da FGV, 2006-10-01)

The scale dependency of spatial crop species diversity and its relation to temporal diversity
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-10-20)
Increasing crop species diversity can enhance agricultural sustainability, but the scale dependency of the processes that shape diversity and of the effects of diversity on agroecosystems is insufficiently understood. We ...

The spatial dynamics of diversity in Centridini bees: the abundance of oil-producing flowers as a measure of habitat quality
(2011)
It is assumed that oil bees in the tribe Centridini and oil flowers in the family Malpighiaceae have a conservative evolutionary association, and it is postulated that they also have a tight ecological relationship. Here, ...
Partitioning the net effect of host diversity on an emerging amphibian pathogen
(Royal Soc, 2014-11-22)
The 'dilution effect' (DE) hypothesis predicts that diverse host communities will show reduced disease. The underlying causes of pathogen dilution are complex, because they involve non-additive (driven by host interactions ...
Diversity of plants and mammals as indicators of the effects of land management types in woodlands
(Springer, 2021-12)
Background: The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always responded in the same way to disturbances, and ...
