Using satellite data to assess spatial drivers of bird diversity

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Birds are useful indicators of overall biodiversity, which continues to decline globally, despite targets to reduce its loss. The aim of this paper is to understand the importance of different spatial drivers for modelling bird distributions ...

Response of Soil Fauna Diversity to Agricultural Landscape Het-Erogeneity in the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yellow River—A Case Study in Gongyi City, China

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Soil fauna contribute to important ecological functions such as improving soil structure and promoting nutrient circulation. They are the common environmental indicators in agricultural landscape.

Testing the assumptions of the pyrodiversity begets biodiversity hypothesis for termites in semi-arid Australia [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Fire shapes the composition and functioning of ecosystems globally. In many regions, fire is actively managed to create diverse patch mosaics of fire-ages under the assumption that a diversity of post-fire-age classes will provide a greater variety of ...

Heterogeneity and treatment landscape of ovarian carcinoma

open access: yesNature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2023
Ovarian carcinoma is characterized by heterogeneity at the molecular, cellular and anatomical levels, both spatially and temporally. This heterogeneity affects response to surgery and/or systemic therapy, and also facilitates inherent and acquired drug resistance. As a consequence, this tumour type is often aggressive and frequently lethal.

Study on the influence of land use and cover change on bird community composition: a case study of Hangzhou Bay

open access: yes上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2021
With the Hangzhou Bay where the population distribution is relatively concentrated as an example, using remote sensing technology, field investigation and canonical correspondence analysis(CCA) sequencing analysis, we studied the composition and ...

Land-use diversity within an agricultural landscape promotes termite nutrient cycling services in a southern African savanna

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Soil macrofauna provide key supporting ecosystem services by transporting nutrients against physical and chemical gradients. In the semi-arid savannas of southern Africa, termites are the dominant macrofauna whose foraging activities increase nutrient ...

Characterization of Visitors’ Perception of Landscape Heterogeneity in Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesUrban Science, 2021
In the current context of global urbanization, interdisciplinary research is needed to identify planning and management practices in urban green spaces (UGS) that would enhance both biodiversity and visitors’ well-being.

Landscape and Vegetation Patterns Zoning Is a Methodological Tool for Management Costs Implications Due to Xylella fastidiosa Invasion

open access: yesLand, 2022
Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus 1758, hereafter Ps) is considered one of the main insect vectors responsible for the spread of an alien biota, Xylella fastidiosa (Wells 1987, hereafter Xf), in the Salento area, Apulia region (Southern Italy).

Advancing Texture Metrics to Model Landscape Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesIGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
We advance methods to study landscape heterogeneity and assess the suitability of these methods to detect boundary regions between land cover types. We employ 2nd-order texture metrics on continuous and on discrete vegetation data in North Eurasia and on a smaller region therein.
