Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Matrizes, 2014 El artículo sostiene que la supervivencia de la diversidad hoy ocurre por medio de una institucionalidad mundial que envuelve la cultura y es capaz de convocar a lós organismos globales. De ello, se afirma la necesidad de una reflexión que sobrepase el determinismo tecnológico y el pesimismo cultural, de tal manera que no sólo se piense en la ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

A global assessment of animal community responses to agricultural management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Transitions in agricultural management through crop and noncrop diversification on intensively managed croplands or pastures have benefited biodiversity. However, the extent to which agricultural management benefits species communities present in undisturbed ecosystems remains largely unclear.

Revista Diversidade & Educação, 2013 Diversidade é uma palavra que temos visto e ouvido muito nos últimos tempos: na TV, nos sites de redes sociais, nas políticas públicas, nas revistas e jornais, e também em outros artefatos culturais1 e instâncias sociais que vêm trazendo à tona essa discussão. Mas afinal, o que é diversidade?
