Ibis, EarlyView.The Pinnated Bittern Botaurus pinnatus (Ardeidae) is a widely distributed Neotropical wading bird whose distribution and seasonal status remain poorly resolved. Discrepancies among published literature, citizen science records and the range currently assumed by BirdLife International indicate that both its geographical distribution and migratory ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Estimating community benefits from tourism: The case of Carpentaria Shire [PDF]
The small rural communities in Australia's tropical savanna landscapes depend upon the region's natural resources for income and employment. Historically primary industries - including mining, grazing and, in the case of coastal communities, fishing ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

Modeling Plant Diversity Responses to Fire Recurrence in Disjunct Amazonian Savannas
LandFire is a key ecological driver in tropical savannas, yet its effects on plant biodiversity remain understudied in Amazonian savannas. This study investigates how fire recurrence influences taxonomic and functional diversity in savanna ecosystems in ...

A bird survey method for Australian tropical savannas
, 2012 The tropical savanna of northern Australia is extensive and relatively homogenous compared to the open woodlands of temperate Australia. The avifauna of this biome is unevenly dispersed in the landscape.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.
