Functional diversity of snakes is explained by the landscape composition at multiple areas of influence. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m.

Impact of cocoa agricultural intensification on bird diversity and community composition. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract To meet the growing demand for chocolate, cocoa (Theobroma cacao) agriculture is expanding and intensifying. Although this threatens tropical forests, cocoa sustainability initiatives largely overlook biodiversity conservation. To inform these initiatives, we analyzed how cocoa agriculture affects bird diversity at farm and landscape scales ...

Protected areas and the neglected contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Struggles for environmental justice in the Caatinga dry forest

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1739-1755, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation ...

Complex landscapes stabilize farm bird communities and their expected ecosystem services

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 927-941, April 2022., 2022
Our results suggest that farmers can effectively manage their farms to harness ecosystem services from birds through farm diversification. Disservices provided by birds, however, appear to be most negatively impacted by landscape‐level complexity. Thus, greater incentives for farmers to increase semi‐natural cover at the landscape scale are likely ...

Ecological requirements drive the variable responses of wheat pests and natural enemies to the landscape context

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 444-456, February 2022., 2022
Our findings highlight the need for conservation biological control to go beyond ‘one size fits all’ and consider the specific ecology of the involved organisms, even for a single crop type. Landscapes with high edge density and flowering woody plants may support natural enemies, in particular syrphids, which colonised the fields early in the season ...

Conservation planning on China's borders with Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 1797-1808, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Transboundary conservation is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining ecosystem integrity and halting biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic activities. However, lack of information on species distributions in transboundary regions and understanding of the threats in these areas impairs conservation.
