‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Quantifying the Heat Mitigation Capacity of Green-Blue Infrastructures in the Metropolis of Tehran [PDF]

تحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیایی
The aim of this research is to evaluate the heat mitigation index (HMI) in the Tehran metropolitan area using the Urban Cooling Model (UCM) approach in a spatial framework. UCM produces maps of the Heat Mitigation Index.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Perkembangan Fenomena Urban Heat Island

, 2017
Urban heat island (UHI) merupakan salah satu fenomena perubahan iklim yang telah banyak menjadi perhatian oleh para pengkaji iklim di seluruh dunia termasuk Indonesia. Fenomena ini meliputi wilayah yang sempit, sehingga dikatakan sebagai sebagai salah satu fenomena perubahan iklim mikro khususnya di perkotaan.
