Wasted positive intentions: the role of affection and abundance on household food waste
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016)
This qualitative study, grounded theory oriented, identifies familial affection and preference for abundance as major drivers of wasted food in lower-middle income American families. These positive intentions provide an ...
Network topology: patterns and mechanisms in plant-herbivore and host-parasitoid food webs
(Wiley, 2011-03)
Biological communities are organized in complex interaction networks such as food webs, which topology appears to be non-random. Gradients, compartments, nested subsets and even combinations of these structures have been ...
Experimental reduction of plant abundance changes interaction frequency of a tri-trophic micro-food web: contrasting responses of generalists and specialists
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09)
Species abundance is vulnerable to climate change and anthropogenic impact. Although numerous studies have examined the food web response to species loss, their response (e.g. in network topology and interaction frequency) ...
Forest fragmentation negatively affects common bird species in subtropical fragmented forests
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-08)
Forest fragmentation threatens bird species throughout the world. Previous studies suggest that the sensitivity of bird species to forest fragmentation is related to food abundance, and that this could be a key factor in ...
Foraging habitat preferences of a selective herbivorous bird, the Puna Rhea Rhea tarapacencis in the desert Puna, midwestern Argentina
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2020-12)
In herbivores, habitat preference is influenced by resource availability, which is most evident in desert ecosystems. The desert puna is a South American environment dominated by grassy steppes with local grassy cushion ...
