Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Threatened or thriving? – The status of Serbian hoverflies on the IUCN European Red List of Hoverflies

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Spatial distribution of Critically Endangered (CR) (a), Endangered (EN) (b), and Vulnerable (VU) (c) species in Serbia, showing overlap with Prime Hoverfly Areas (PHAs) and Protected Areas (PAs). Abstract Given the widespread decline of pollinators worldwide, assessing them using the IUCN criteria is crucial to understand their conservation status ...

Staphylinid beetles as bioindicators [PDF]

open access: yesAgriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1999
The family Staphylinidae is one of the largest beetle families and is distributed worldwide in almost all types of ecosystems. The morpho-ecological characteristics of staphylinid beetle adults and developmental stages are summarized, and features pertaining to their potential use as bioindicators are highlighted.

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Subfossil and periphytic diatoms from the upper Paraná river, Brazil: last ~1000 years of a transition period

open access: yesHoehnea, 2018
Considering the lack of knowledge regarding the paleolimnology and the diatom flora from the sediment in Brazilian aquatic environments, this study aimed to provide information about diatom biodiversity and autoecology in an environment located in the ...

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

Urban birds' detectability is affected by inter‐ and intraspecific variation in shyness

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Detection probabilities differ between bird species as a function of their life history and ecological and behavioural traits, inevitably introducing bias in their abundance and occupancy estimates. However, the effects of behavioural traits such as species shyness and vigilance on detectability remain poorly understood.
