Urban landscape and infection risk in free-roaming cats. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health, 2022
Abstract Despite public concern on the role of free‐roaming cats as reservoirs of zoonotic agents, little is known about the influence of urban and peri‐urban landscapes on the exposure risk. We evaluated the seroprevalence of three zoonotic agents (Chlamydia felis, Coxiella burnetii and Toxoplasma gondii) in domestic cats (Felis catus).

Integrating habitat-masked range maps with quantifications of prevalence to estimate area of occupancy in IUCN assessments. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2023
Abstract Estimates of species geographic ranges constitute critical input for biodiversity assessments, including those for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Area of occupancy (AOO) is one metric that IUCN uses to quantify a species’ range, but data limitations typically lead to either under ...

Examining the relationship between local extinction risk and position in range. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2018
Abstract Over half of globally threatened animal species have experienced rapid geographic range loss. Identifying the parts of species’ distributions most vulnerable to local extinction would benefit conservation planning. However, previous studies give little consensus on whether ranges decline to the core or edge.

A complex landscape favours the abundance and species richness of syrphids (Diptera: Syrphidae) in olive groves

Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 568-581, October 2023., 2023
Landscapes dominated by olive groves do not encourage syrphid population. Syrphids can help pest control in olive groves. A complex landscape structure can contribute to the ecosystem service biological pest control. Abstract Sustainability of agroecosystems depends on the ecosystem services, provided by beneficial organisms, such as the syrphids ...

Nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly and functional trait space in tropical forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 1218-1230, June 2023., 2023
Our results demonstrate that soil nutrient‐based species selection is a prevalent driver of community assembly in tropical forests, a process mediated by key functional traits within the leaf and wood economics spectrum. Functional space size and its filling increase with soil nutrient concentration, whereas niche vacancy decreases.

Habitat use of and threats to African large carnivores in a mixed‐use landscape

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Large carnivores increasingly inhabit human‐affected landscapes, which exhibit heterogeneity in biotic resources, anthropogenic pressures, and management strategies. Understanding large carnivore habitat use in these systems is critical for their conservation, as is the evaluation of competing management approaches and the impacts of ...

Habitat loss increases seasonal interaction rewiring in plant–pollinator networks

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 2673-2684, October 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the flexibility of interactions and network rewiring (i.e. reassembly of interactions due to partner‐switching) is necessary to comprehend how future anthropogenic changes will affect interspecific interactions and the functioning of communities.

Influencia de la expropiación forzosa en la disponibilidad de terrenos para la ejecución de obras de modernización de regadíos [PDF]

, 2016
La evolución de la economía del país, ha hecho que los tipos de interés hayan disminuido de manera continuada en los últimos años. El hecho de que la determinación del valor de expropiación desde el año 2.007 se lleve a cabo mediante capitalización de ...

Evolution of Forest Cover in Andalusia (1956-2007). Processes and Drivers [PDF]

, 2016
Algo más de la mitad de la superficie de Andalucía está ocupada por espacios forestales. En el presente artículo, exponemos un estudio de la distribución de estos espacios a partir de los mapas de usos y coberturas vegetales de 1956 y 2007.
