The singing phenology of Bachman's sparrow: implications for monitoring programs

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used automated recording units, weather data, and multiple logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to determine the annual singing period and influences on singing behavior of Bachman's sparrow in Texas, USA, surveying daily for 2 years.

The impacts of extreme events on biodiversity : lessons from die-offs in flying-foxes

open access: yes, 2012
There is no doubt that extreme events will have an increasingly important impact on the structure of ecosystems and the sustainability of animal populations in a wide range of taxa (e.g., Parmesan et al.

Effects of Roscovitine and Serum Starvation on the Viability and G0/G1 Synchronization in Somatic Cells from the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus, Linnaeus 1758)

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of nuclear reprogramming techniques, including the G0/G1 synchronization of somatic cells, depends on species‐specific optimization. While roscovitine and serum starvation have been successfully applied in domestic and wild terrestrial mammals, their use in aquatic mammals remains poorly investigated.

Mitigating the impacts of agriculture on biodiversity: bats and their potential role as bioindicators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Agriculture is a dominant land use worldwide with approximately 40% of the land's surface used for farming. In many countries, particularly parts of Europe, this figure is substantially higher and most agricultural land is under intensive practices aimed

Filtered, yet not homogenised: Urbanisation does not lead to cross‐city convergence in Mexican urban bird communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanisation simplifies bird communities, but does not necessarily make urban avifaunas alike. Across three biogeographically distinct Mexican cities, urban bird assemblages remained regionally distinct despite strong local filtering. These results challenge assumptions of urban‐driven homogenisation and emphasise the dominant role of regional species ...

Bioindication Potential of the Coleoptera

open access: yesVestnik Volgogradskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta. Serija 11. Estestvennye nauki, 2015
Different families of Coleoptera ambiguously respond to the pollution of SPZs with industrial emissions. For example, the SPZ of Volgograd aluminum plant has the changing biodiversity of insect communities at different distances from the pollution source. The increasing level of pollution is accompanied by the reduction in species abundance.

Bioindicators for Forest Area Condition: A Systematic Literature Review [PDF]

open access: yes
Flora and fauna are essential components of ecosystems, playing a vital role in maintaining environmental balance. They also serve as bioindicators for assessing forest health. As a result, many researchers have focused their studies on bioindicators, as

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...
