Impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Changes on Migration and Food Security of North Central Region, Nigeria

Land, 2023
Food security is adversely affected by challenges posed by changes in land use and land cover (LULC). LULC change impacts ecosystem functions and services, leading to migration of people, particularly rural dwellers.

Effects of different fertilization patterns on the dietary composition of Procambarus clarkii in a rice-crayfish coculture system

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
As an omnivorous species, crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have varying feeding habits in different environments. However, little is known about the diet of crayfish under different fertilization patterns in rice-crayfish cocultures.

Need for an Integrated Deprived Area “Slum” Mapping System (IDEAMAPS) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)

Social Sciences, 2020
Ninety percent of the people added to the planet over the next 30 years will live in African and Asian cities, and a large portion of these populations will reside in deprived neighborhoods defined by slum conditions, informal settlement, or inadequate ...

Sex, landscape diversity and primary productivity shape the seasonal space use of a migratory European raptor

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022
Intrinsic and extrinsic drivers shape the space use of wide‐ranging raptors. A large proportion of raptors are migrants that shift their activity ranges between summer and winter habitats, where they encounter different environmental conditions ...

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]

, 2011
In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...

THE ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF HABITAT AND MICROHABITAT USE IN LIZARDS:: A REVIEW [PDF]

, 2001
We review the ecological consequences of habitat and microhabitat use in lizards. Different habitats have different biotic and abiotic properties and thus are likely to have different consequences for the lizards that occur in them.

Habitat quality, not habitat amount, drives mammalian habitat use in the Brazilian Pantanal

Landscape Ecology, 2021
An understanding of species-habitat relationships is required to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation and degradation. To date, habitat modeling in fragmented landscapes has relied on landscape composition and configuration metrics and the importance of habitat quality in determining species distributions has not been sufficiently explored.
