Plant species diversity of buffer zones in agricultural landscapes : in search of determinants from the local to regional scale [PDF]

, 2006
Buffer zones are vegetated strip-edges of agricultural fields along watercourses. As linear habitats in agricultural ecosystems, buffer strips dominate and play a leading ecological role in many areas.

Seasonal dynamics in terrestrial insect communities after the impact of the Brumadinho tailings dam disaster

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.
Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Stochastic models of population extinction

, 2010
Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations depends on biotic and abiotic factors. Classical work showed that demographic stochasticity causes the mean time to extinction to increase exponentially with ...

Challenges for biodiversity research in Europe.  [PDF]

, 2015
In 2010, the international year of biodiversity, new policies for preserving biodiversity in Europe and worldwide will be developed as targets set by older policies, such as to halt biodiversity loss in the EU by 2010, were not met.

Approaches for advancing scientific understanding of macrosystems [PDF]

, 2017
The emergence of macrosystems ecology (MSE), which focuses on regional- to continental-scale ecological patterns and processes, builds upon a history of long-term and broad-scale studies in ecology.

Consequences of fish for cladoceran, water beetle and macrophyte communities in a farmland pond landscape: implications for conservation [PDF]

, 2017
Traditionally, fish have been neglected in pond ecology and conservation studies and it has frequently been assumed that they have a detrimental impact on pond biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Faunal assemblages and multi–scale habitat patterns in headwater tributaries of the South Fork Trinity River – an unregulated river embedded within a multiple–use landscape [PDF]

, 2010
Las cabeceras pueden representar el 80% de los kilómetros de recorrido en una cuenca fluvial y poseen unas propiedades físicas y biológicas únicas, cuya importancia hasta hace poco no se habían reconocido para el sostenimiento de un funcionamiento sano ...
