| Seasonal bee communities vary in their responses to resources at local and landscape scales: implication for land managers | ||
| Samstag, 27. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context There is great interest in land management practices for pollinators; however, a quantitative comparison of landscape and local effects on bee communities is necessary to determine if adding small habitat patches can increase bee abundance or species richness. The value of increasing floral abundance at a site is undoubtedly influenced by the phenology and magnitude of floral resources in the landscape, but due... | ||
| Evaluation of landscape sustainability of protected areas and identification of its correlation factors: a case study of Beijing, China | ||
| Samstag, 27. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Protected areas (PAs) serve as robust safeguards for the ecological safety of urban areas, and positively affect their socioeconomic development. However, limited research that integrates both ecological and socioeconomic aspects to evaluate the role of PAs. Objectives In this study, we aimed to establish an evaluation... | ||
| Unraveling the interplay between demography and landscape features in shaping connectivity and diversity: Insights from the leopard cat on a subtropical island | ||
| Samstag, 27. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Elucidating how demography and contemporary landscape features regulate functional connectivity is crucial to implementing effective conservation strategies. We assessed the impacts of landscape features on the genetic variation of a locally endangered carnivore, the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in Taiwan. Objectives... | ||
| Divergence in diversity-area relationships between lawn and non-lawn plants in residential landscapes | ||
| Donnerstag, 25. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context In residential landscapes, people acknowledge and manage larger, conventionally attractive plants differently than smaller, less conspicuous ones, possibly leading to a divergence in basic ecological patterns such as diversity-area relationships. Objectives We tested for divergences between lawn and non-lawn plants, and... | ||
| Measuring ecological connectivity with ecological distance and dynamic resistant kernels | ||
| Mittwoch, 24. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Species-agnostic connectivity models are often used to inform management over broad spatial scales. The four main approaches to species-agnostic models parameterize resistance to movement based on naturalness, structural features, climate, or geodiversity variables. Though all four of these factors simultaneously affect species movement and flow of ecological processes, they are rarely combined... | ||
| Big cats persisting in human-dominated landscape: Habitat suitability and connectivity of leopards in central North China | ||
| Dienstag, 23. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context The leopard (Panthera pardus), the only large carnivore species occurring in central North China, has undergone substantial range contraction and population decline due to anthropogenic pressure across the region. Objectives In this study, we aimed to map its current suitable habitats and assess the degree of connectivity... | ||
| Beta diversity partitioning reveals homogenization in bird community composition within the forest-agriculture landscape of the northern Taiwan coast | ||
| Montag, 22. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context This study examined how human-induced landscape changes affected bird diversity in mountain villages with mixed forests and cultivated fields. Objectives We focused on the bird species composition (beta diversity) to determine whether species homogenization varied with forest cover differences. This study developed it as a... | ||
| Partitioning genetic structure of a subterranean rodent at multiple spatial scales: accounting for isolation by barriers, distance, and environment | ||
| Donnerstag, 18. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Understanding genetic structure at multiple spatial scales and identifying drivers of genetic isolation are important for developing comprehensive conservation plans including for grassland conservation efforts. However, few studies account for multiple genetic isolation processes nor partition genetic variance among these processes. Objectives... | ||
| Key breeding habitats of threatened golden eagles across Eastern Canada identified using a multi-level, multi-scale habitat selection approach | ||
| Donnerstag, 18. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context In a conservation context, identifying key habitats suitable for reproduction, foraging, or survival is a useful tool, yet challenging for species with large geographic distributions and/or living in remote regions. Objectives The objective of this study is to identify selected habitats at multiple levels and scales of the... | ||
| Higher crop rotational diversity in more simplified agricultural landscapes in Northeastern Germany | ||
| Montag, 15. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Both crop rotational diversity and landscape diversity are important for ensuring resilient agricultural production and supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. However, the relationship between crop rotational diversity and landscape diversity is largely understudied. Objectives We aim to... | ||
| Lack of social data hinders integrative urban ecology research: obstacles and opportunities | ||

| Genetic consequences of landscape features in two rear edge, highly fragmented metapopulations of a mediterranean conifer | ||
| Freitag, 05. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Habitat fragmentation is expected to erode genetic diversity, which instead needs to be preserved for promoting species adaptation to a changing climate. As this expectation has found mixed support in forest trees, consistent results on the genetic consequences of fragmentation requires adequately replicated experimental designs, as well as an explicit assessment of which landscape features, if any, could... | ||
| The relationships between biotic uniqueness and abiotic uniqueness are context dependent across drainage basins worldwide | ||
| Freitag, 05. April 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a decline in biodiversity, more so in freshwater than in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the research on freshwaters lags behind terrestrial and marine studies, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to comprehend freshwater biodiversity. Objectives... | ||

| Scale-dependent habitat selection is shaped by landscape context in dispersing white-tailed deer | ||
| Abstract Context Identifying how animals select habitat while navigating landscapes is important for understanding behavioral ecology and guiding management and conservation decisions. However, habitat selection may be spatially and temporally plastic, making it challenging to quantify how species use resources across space and time. Objectives... | ||
| Social theory and landscape ecology: understanding human agency in the context of landscapes | ||
| Behaviour and landscape contexts determine the effects of artificial light on two crepuscular bird species | ||
| Abstract Context Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing worldwide, with many ecological effects. Aerial insectivores may benefit from foraging on insects congregating at light sources. However, ALAN could negatively impact them by increasing nest visibility and predation risk, especially for ground-nesting species like nightjars (Caprimulgidae). Objectives... | ||
| Neglected puzzle pieces of urban green infrastructure: richness, cover, and composition of insect-pollinated plants in traffic-related green spaces | ||
| Abstract Context In cities, insect-pollinated vascular plants enhance environmental quality, support pollinators, and provide essential ecosystem services for citizens. However, floral communities associated with traffic-related green spaces are rarely considered valuable elements of urban green infrastructure (UGI). Objectives The main... | ||
| Cut vs. fire: a comparative study of the temporal effects of timber harvest and wildfire on ecological indicators of the boreal forest | ||
| Abstract Context Large-scale natural disturbances are crucial drivers of ecosystem function and composition for many forested ecosystems. In the last century, the prevalence of anthropogenic disturbances has increased across Canada’s boreal forest. Habitat disturbance from timber harvest and wildfire is linked to declines of boreal species, including woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou... | ||
