Science of Remote SensingUrban tree cover provides important ecosystem services, such as the maintenance of biodiversity, the conservation of water, and human health. An accurate estimate of the canopy cover of urban trees is essential to quantify spatial variations, monitor ...

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

On the occurrence of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types at Mabura Hill, Guyana [PDF]
, 1990 A floristic and ecological study of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types around Mabura Hill, Guyana, South America, yielded 170 species: 52 mosses, 82 liverworts and 36 macrolichens. Lejeuneaceae account for about 30% of the

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Forest drought resistance distinguished by canopy height
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 How are the survival and growth of trees under severe drought affected by their size? While some studies have shown that large trees are more vulnerable to drought than smaller trees, others found that small trees are the more vulnerable. We explored the

Forest canopies and tree diversity : from stands to tree-tree interactions
, 2022 Subtropical forests represent a hotspot of terrestrial biodiversity on our planet, which is sustained by their physical structure, but the pathways through which tree species richness (TSR) can alter forest and tree structure remain unclear. Using terrestrial LiDAR (TLS) in the Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning plantation BEF China, I related TSR to ...

Effect of Body Configuration on Perturbation Resistance Across Arboreal Lizard Species
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Animals that inhabit high‐risk habitats often exhibit morphological and behavioral adaptations to contend with environmental challenges. In arboreal (tree‐based) habitats, such adaptations can include corrective behaviors, such as modification of body‐limb angles, to avoid dislodgement by perturbations.

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...
