Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

Habitat use of and threats to African large carnivores in a mixed-use landscape. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol, 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 ...

Chilean bee diversity: Contrasting patterns of species and phylogenetic turnover along a large‐scale ecological gradient

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Chile's isolation and varied climates have driven the evolution of a unique biodiversity with a high degree of endemism. As a result, Chile encompasses diverse environments, including the Mediterranean‐type ecosystem, a global biodiversity hotspot.

Impact of human disturbance on the abundance of non‐breeding shorebirds in a subtropical wetland

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1160-1169, September 2022., 2022
We studied the influence of human disturbance in shorebirds, a subtropical coastal wetland in Mexico. During the winter, all shorebird species were negatively related to human disturbance but positively associated with the presence of raptors. Understanding the factors influencing the abundance and habitat use of shorebirds on their non‐breeding ...

Indirect effects of African megaherbivore conservation on bat diversity in the world's oldest desert

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract In extreme environments, temperature and precipitation are often the main forces responsible for structuring ecological communities and species distributions. The role of biotic interactions is typically thought to be minimal. By clustering around rare and isolated features, like surface water, however, effects of herbivory by desert‐dwelling ...
