Influence of land use on the trophic niche overlap of dung beetles in the semideciduous Atlantic forest of Argentina
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2018-11)
The degradation and replacement of natural ecosystems affect species abundance, diversity and interspecific interaction through the modification of resource availability and environmental conditions. Land uses preserving ...
Influence of land use on the trophic niche overlap of dung beetles in the semideciduous Atlantic forest of Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-11-01)
The degradation and replacement of natural ecosystems affect species abundance, diversity and interspecific interaction through the modification of resource availability and environmental conditions. Land uses preserving ...
Co-occurrence Patterns in a Subtropical Ant Community Revealed by Complementary Sampling Methodologies
(Entomological Society of America, 2018-12)
Ants are abundant and ecologically dominant insects in most terrestrial communities. In subtropical ecosystems, there is a high turnover of species from the canopy to the top layers of the soil. Additionally, ant communities ...
Impacts of domestic cattle on forest and woody ecosystems in southern South America
(Springer, 2018-08)
There is a long lasting debate on the effects of domestic cattle grazing on natural ecosystems worldwide. Cattle are generally assumed to have negative effects on forest conservation; however, several studies also report ...
Forest strips increase connectivity and modify forests functioning in a deforestation hotspot
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)
Land use changes are occurring with unprecedented magnitude and intensity, imposing global impacts on ecosystem services (ES) and biodiversity. While the impacts of land use changes are increasingly recognized, understanding ...
Linking competition with Growth Dominance and production ecology
(2018-04-15)
The development of forests over time is influenced by competition for resources among trees, leading to patterns of size hierarchy. These two aspects – competition and size hierarchy – can be examined in conjunction with ...
Reversals of Reforestation Across Latin America Limit Climate Mitigation Potential of Tropical Forests
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07)
Carbon sequestration through tropical reforestation and natural regeneration could make an important contribution to climate change mitigation, given that forest cover in many tropical regions increased during the early ...
Spatial patterns of bird community similarity: Bird responses to landscape composition and configuration in the Atlantic forest
(Springer, 2010-01)
Studies dealing with community similarity are necessary to understand large scale ecological processes causing biodiversity loss and to improve landscape and regional planning. Here, we study landscape variables influencing ...
Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) inhabiting anthropogenic habitats in the lower delta of the Paraná river, Argentina: geographic distribution and ecological characteristics
(2017)
The primary aims of this paper were to provide the first inventory of carabid beetles collected in five different anthropogenic habitat types of the Lower Delta of the Paraná River, to describe their main ecological ...
