An objective approach to select surrogate species for connectivity conservation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionConnected landscapes can increase the effectiveness of protected areas by facilitating individual movement and gene flow between populations, thereby increasing the persistence of species even in fragmented habitats.

Connecting Landscapes

open access: yesThe Bioscan
This thesis explores the potential of enhancing connectivity between the riverfronts of the Krishna and Paleru Rivers through integrated urban design strategies. Situated in an area of rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, this study aims to create a cohesive riverfront experience that fosters ecological preservation, social interaction, and ...

Stochastic dynamics of model proteins on a directed graph [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A method for reconstructing the energy landscape of simple polypeptidic chains is described. We show that we can construct an equivalent representation of the energy landscape by a suitable directed graph. Its topological and dynamical features are shown

NFDI MatWerk Ontology (MWO): A BFO‐Compliant Ontology for Research Data Management in Materials Science and Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents the NFDI‐MatWerk Ontology (MWO), a Basic Formal Ontology‐based framework for interoperable research data management in materials science and engineering (MSE). Covering consortium structures, research data management resources, services, and instruments, MWO enables semantic integration, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and ...

Detecting Critical Scales in Fragmented Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Society, 1997
We develop methods for quantifying habitat connectivity at multiple scales and assigning conservation priority to habitat patches based on their contribution to connectivity.

Parks, people and pixels: evaluating landscape effects of an East African national park on its surroundings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Landscapes surrounding protected areas, while still containing considerable biodiversity, have rapidly growing human populations and associated agricultural development in most of the developing world that tend to isolate them, potentially reducing their

Emergent Spin‐Glass Behavior in an Iron(II)‐Based Metal–Organic Framework Glass

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A one‐pot, solvent‐free synthesis yields an Fe2+‐based metal‐organic framework (MOF) glass featuring a continuous random network structure. The material exhibits spin‐glass freezing at 14 K, driven by topological‐disorder and short‐range magnetic frustration, showcasing the potential of MOF glasses as a plattform for cooperative magnetic phenomena in ...

Positive responses of flower visiting bees to landscape heterogeneity depend on functional connectivity levels

open access: yesPerspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Landscape changes can lead to bee species loss, what impairs proper landscape level pollination processes, impacting both nature conservation and human welfare.

Landscape connectivity for the invisibles

open access: yesEcography, 2022
Because of land use changes, a worldwide decrease in biodiversity is underway, mostly driven by habitat degradation and fragmentation. Increasing landscape connectivity (i.e. the degree to which the landscape facilitates movement between habitat patches) has been proposed as a key landscape‐level strategy to counterbalance the negative effects of ...

Assessing landscape functional connectivity in a forest carnivore using path selection functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Context Understanding connectivity patterns in relation to habitat fragmentation is essential to landscape management. However, connectivity is often judged from expert opinion or species occurrence patterns, with very few studies considering the actual ...
