Habitat loss and fragmentation: effect on species conservation [PDF]
, 2006 La pérdida y fragmentación del hábitat está considerada como una de las causas principales de la actual crisis de biodiversidad. Los procesos responsables de esta pérdida son múltiples y difíciles de separar (pérdida regional de hábitat, insularización ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Activities for Threats to Wetlands (title provided or enhanced by cataloger) [PDF]
These activities were designed to enhance the fourth chapter of a module about wetlands which includes a history of wetland loss, how wetlands are lost, and the consequences of wetland loss.

Habitat loss outweighs fragmentation
Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered to be one of the main causes of terrestrial biodiversity decline worldwide. The effect of fragmentation at a given level of habitat amount is however debated, and experimental tests remain scarce. To discriminate the effects of both quantity and fragmentation per se, we designed a landscape-scale experiment

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
