Habitat-Dependency of Transect Walk and Pan Trap Methods for Bee Sampling in Farmlands

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2019
Bees are the most important group of flower visitors providing an essential ecosystem service, namely pollination. Due to the worldwide decline of bees, there should be standardized sampling methods in place to ensure consistent and comparable results ...

Machine learning for ecosystem services

Ecosystem Services, 2018
Recent developments in machine learning have expanded data-driven modelling (DDM) capabilities, allowing artificial intelligence to infer the behaviour of a system by computing and exploiting correlations between observed variables within it. Machine learning algorithms may enable the use of increasingly available big data and assist applying ...

A New Family of Ternary Intermetallic Compounds with Dualistic Atomic Ordering – The ZIP Phases

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The ZIP phases are ternary intermetallic compounds with dualistic atomic ordering, i.e., they exhibit one face‐centered cubic (fcc; space group Fd3¯$\bar 3$m) variant and one hexagonal (space group P63/mmc) variant. The ZIP phases in the Nb‐Si‐Ni system are the Nb3SiNi2 (fcc) and Ni3SiNb2 (hexagonal) ternary IMCs, crystal structure schematics of which ...

An economist looks at ecosystem services [PDF]

, 2015
This chapter lists ecosystem services and discusses what techniques can be applied in order to assess their economic value. The last five decades witnessed enormous progress in developing valuation techniques applied to non-market goods (i.e.

Ecosystem services provided by waterbirds

Biological Reviews, 2013
ABSTRACTEcosystem services are ecosystem processes that directly or indirectly benefit human well‐being. There has been much recent literature identifying different services and the communities and species that provide them. This is a vital first step towards management and maintenance of these services.

Advancing from MOFs and COFs to Functional Macroscopic Porous Constructs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review study investigates the recent progress and methodologies for manufacturing metal–organic framework (MOF) or covalent–organic framework (COF)‐based 3D structured macroscopic porous constructs with high structural integrity, providing the possibility to control their porosity across dimensions.

Contrasting Patterns of Plants, Bees, Hoverflies and Spiders in Different Habitats in a Central European Agricultural Landscape

Ecology and Evolution
Semi‐natural grasslands and their biodiversity decline rapidly, although they are key elements of agricultural landscapes. Therefore, there is a need for the re‐establishment of semi‐natural grasslands in intensively managed farmlands (e.g., via sowing ...
