Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation : evidence from Palaearctic grasslands [PDF]
, 2019 Aim: Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas power laws best represent SARs.

Is the ‘bat population’ an operational concept for statutory species conservation?
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 In the European Union (EU), all bat species are legally protected by the Habitats Directive (HD). Especially the goal of keeping or restoring a favourable conservation status for protected species and habitats is an outstanding innovation in the law of ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019 Background Habitat quality is one main trigger for the persistence of butterflies. The effects of the influencing biotic and abiotic factors may be enhanced by the challenging conditions in high-alpine environments. To better our knowledge in this field,
