Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...

Habitat preference of an herbivore shapes the habitat distribution of its host plant

, 2017
Plant distributions can be limited by habitat-biased herbivory, but the proximate causes of such biases are rarely known. Distinguishing plant-centric from herbivore-centric mechanisms driving differential herbivory between habitats is difficult without ...

Transformative Service Ecosystems for People, Plants, Place, Planet, and Prosperity: A Sustainable Operations Management Perspective

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The Transformative Service Ecosystem for Sustainable Operations Management (TSESOM) model reframes operations management as a co‐creative ecosystem shaped by philosophical foundations and macro–meso–micro contexts. Integrating governance, resilience, learning, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration, TSESOM advances regenerative SDG‐ and ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

尼泊尔多尔帕坦狩猎保护区季风前岩羊 (Pseudois nayaur) 与家畜的栖息地偏好及空间重叠

Wildlife Letters
Blue sheep are crucial to the Himalayan high‐altitude ecosystems, but their habitat preferences are not well understood. Hence, this study investigated its pre‐monsoon habitat preference and spatial overlap with livestock in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy
