Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Reduced temporal turnover in carabid communities enhances biomass stability in agricultural landscapes. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The interannual stability of the carabid biomass in agricultural fields can be maximised by supporting the in‐field mean alpha‐richness that reduces their temporal beta‐diversity. Increasing crop phenology diversity at the landscape level also stabilises carabid biomass over time. Abstract While the temporal stability of plant communities has been well

Estimating mountainous plant species richness and diversity for monitoring global change in a protected grassland park

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 636-644, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Assessments of species diversity and richness are essential to understand present ecological and biodiversity conditions for effective conservation management strategies. Biodiversity indicators determine rangeland health and response to grazing, fire regimes and climate change.

Supporting native grasslands in Canada: Lessons learned and future management of the Prairie Pastures Conservation Area (PPCA) in Saskatchewan

Canadian Geographer / Le géographe canadien, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 683-695, Winter / hiver 2022., 2022
Key Messages Globally, grassland ecosystems are extremely endangered with few significant parcels remaining and are critical to conserving native species at risk. The Prairie Pastures Conservation Area in southern Saskatchewan has some of the largest remaining blocks of native grasslands under Canadian federal control.

Effects of large herbivores on fire regimes and wildfire mitigation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 2690-2702, December 2021., 2021
We conclude that herbivores have the capacity to mitigate wildfire damage, and we provide guidance for grazing management for wildfire mitigation strategies. As areas undergoing land abandonment are particularly prone to wildfires, the maintenance or promotion of grazing by domestic or wild herbivores is a promising tool to reduce wildfire risk in a ...

SCHILLER GOES TRANSNATIONAL: JULIE PAUCKER AND ROBERT SCHUSTER'S ‘MALALAI – DIE AFGHANISCHE JUNGFRAU VON ORLEANS’ (2017)

German Life and Letters, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 551-570, October 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT This article focuses on Julie Paucker and Robert Schuster's ‘MALALAI – Die afghanische Jungfrau von Orléans’ (2017), paying special attention to the constructions and contestations of gender and nation in this recent re‐working of Schiller's Die Jungfrau von Orleans (1801). Paucker radically re‐configures Schiller's play, whose engagement with

Coexistence in an African pastoral landscape: Evidence that livestock and wildlife temporally partition water resources

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 696-711, September 2021., 2021
Abstract African rangelands support substantial wildlife populations alongside pastoralists and livestock. Recent wildlife declines are often attributed to competition with livestock over water and grazing, in part because livestock are thought to spatially displace wildlife.

On the taxonomic identity and nomenclature of Cyperus megapotamicus (Cyperaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021
Cyperus megapotamicus (A. Spreng.) Kunth is a nomenclatural synonym of Rhynchospora megapotamica (A. Spreng.) H. Pfeiff. but was originally misapplied to a species of Cyperus. Contrary to the rules, both species names are in current use in different genera.

Les pâturages kirghizes, entre marges et réseaux

, 2014
Les évolutions socioéconomiques ont transformé l'élevage et par là même les pâturages. Le retour vers les estives et la dépendance aux transports mécanisés fait craindre une concentration des hommes et des troupeaux sur les pâturages les plus accessibles

Contribution au contrôle continu des pâturages tropicaux. I

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1977
Afin de suivre l'évolution des pâturages résultant, tant des aléas climatiques que des diverses formes d'exploitation, un contrôle continu doit être envisagé aux niveaux nationaux et transnationaux.
