Land, 2022 Arable land systems are complex ecosystems composed of cultivated land and semi-natural habitats. Retaining an appropriate proportion of semi-natural habitats in arable land systems is beneficial for enhancing landscape heterogeneity and biodiversity ...

Invasions in heterogeneous habitats in the presence of advection [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2012 We investigate invasions from a biological reservoir to an initially empty, heterogeneous habitat in the presence of advection. The habitat consists of a periodic alternation of favorable and unfavorable patches. In the latter the population dies at fixed rate. In the former it grows either with the logistic or with an Allee effect type dynamics, where

Creating Markets for Habitat Conservation when Habitats are Heterogeneous [PDF]
, 2004 A tradable development rights (TDR) program focusing on biodiversity conservation faces a crucial problem defining which areas of habitat should be considered equivalent. Restricting the trading domain to a narrow area could boost the range of biodiversity conserved but could increase the opportunity cost of conservation.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Understanding the main drivers of biodiversity loss in Europe's agricultural landscapes has been a research priority in the last decades. One of the most important factors promoting biodiversity in farmed landscapes is habitat heterogeneity, which has ...

Altitudinal patterns in breeding bird species richness and density in relation to climate, habitat heterogeneity, and migration influence in a temperate montane forest (South Korea) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Altitudinal patterns in the population ecology of mountain bird species are useful for predicting species occurrence and behavior. Numerous hypotheses about the complex interactions among environmental factors have been proposed; however, these still ...

Effects of Habitat Heterogeneity and Topographic Variation on Insect Pest Risks in Alpine Regions
Land, 2023 Insect pests pose a significant threat to alpine ecosystems, especially under rapid environmental change conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the effects of environmental factors on insect pest risks and provide methods for pest management ...

Measuring habitat complexity and spatial heterogeneity in ecology
Ecology Letters, 2022 Abstract Habitat complexity has been considered a key driver of biodiversity and other ecological phenomena for nearly a century. However, there is still no consensus over the definition of complexity or how to measure it. Up‐to‐date and clear guidance on measuring complexity is urgently needed, particularly given the rise of remote ...

Journal of Limnology, 2014 Sediment of aquatic environments supports several local communities, among them aquatic invertebrates. Habitat structural heterogeneity in sediments of aquatic ecosystems is related to a number of factors, including variability in the particle size of ...
