Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Accounting for spatial interactions in the upscaling of ecosystem services

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Maps of ecosystem service (ES) supply are frequently used to guide spatial planning, policymaking and ecosystem management. However, these are typically based upon coarse land‐cover proxies. This approach lacks a strong mechanistic basis and neglects spatial biodiversity dynamics and interactions among landscape properties that can modify ES ...

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.
