Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Climate and land-use change, raise significant threats to biodiversity, affecting species ranges worldwide. Both factors operate on different scales, so including spatial traits that allow them to be appropriately evaluated is relevant to the early ...

Understanding drivers of species distribution change: a trait-based approach [PDF]
, 2013 The impacts of anthropogenic environmental change on biodiversity are well documented, with threats such as habitat loss and climate change identified as causes of change in species distributions.

Habitat Loss on Rondon’s Marmoset Potential Distribution
Land, 2017 The Amazon basin is one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. However, agricultural expansion and infrastructure development have led to widespread deforestation that threatens the survival of many taxa.

Rare and Charismatic Species of Insects in Khar Yamaat Nature Reserve, Mongolia
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2022 Grassland insects face some of the most severe declines in species diversity and total abundance, in part due to agriculture. Livestock grazing is the largest agricultural land use in Mongolia that can have both positive and negative effects on insect ...

Reductions in connectivity and habitat quality drive local extinctions in a plant diversity hotspot [PDF]
, 2015 It is well documented that habitat loss is a major cause of biodiversity decline. However, the roles of the different aspects of habitat loss in local extinctions are less understood. Anthropogenic destruction of an area of habitat causes immediate local

Habitat conversion and global avian biodiversity loss [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 The magnitude of the impacts of human activities on global biodiversity has been documented at several organizational levels. However, although there have been numerous studies of the effects of local-scale changes in land use (e.g. logging) on the abundance of groups of organisms, broader continental or global-scale analyses addressing the same basic ...

Systematic land-cover change in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: Implications for biodiversity
South African Journal of Science, 2015 Land-cover change and habitat loss are widely recognised as the major drivers of biodiversity loss in the world. Land-cover maps derived from satellite imagery provide useful tools for monitoring land-use and land-cover change.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Loss of developmental stability can lead to deviations from bilateral symmetry (i.e. Fluctuating Asymmetry ‐ FA), and is thought to be caused by environmental and genetic factors associated with habitat loss and stress. Therefore, levels of FA might be a

Extinction risk of narrowly distributed species of seed plants in Brazil due to habitat loss and climate change [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 In a world where changes in land cover and climate happen faster than ever due to the expansion of human activities, narrowly distributed species are predicted to be the first to go extinct.

Dynamic modelling of the potential habitat loss of endangered species: the case of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae) [PDF]
, 2016 In this work, we apply a dynamic modelling approach to analyse the habitat loss of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae). This tool allows us to assess the effects of the socio-economic and environmental interactions on the
