Towards robust corridors: a validation framework to improve corridor modeling | ||
Montag, 16. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Ecological corridors are one of the most recommended ways to mitigate biodiversity loss. With growing recognition of corridor importance, corridor modeling lags others in the development of robust, quantitative validation methods. Objective We propose a post-hoc corridor validation framework, considering the range of methods... | ||
The importance of different forest management systems for people’s dietary quality in Tanzania | ||
Mittwoch, 11. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context A large body of literature has shown that forests provide nutritious foods in many low- and middle-income countries. Yet, there is limited evidence on the contributions from different types of forest and tree systems. Objectives Here, we focus on individual trees and smaller forest patches outside established forest reserves... | ||
Enhancing human well-being through cognitive and affective pathways linking landscape sensation to cultural ecosystem services | ||
Donnerstag, 05. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Landscape sensation is essential for the delivery of cultural ecosystem services (CESs), yet the pathways through which these services are delivered remain inadequately understood. Exploring how people obtain CESs from landscapes facilitates better understanding of the tradeoffs and synergies between ecosystem services and landscape sustainability... | ||
Dynamic occupancy in a peripheral population of Myotis septentrionalis during disease outbreak | ||
Mittwoch, 04. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Once common, the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) has experienced declines > 90% due to white-nose syndrome (WNS). This severe mortality has resulted in their listing under the Endangered Species Act and made them a conservation priority. However, their broad distribution, variability in habitat use, and population instability make developing range-wide conservation strategies difficult... | ||
Drivers of the taxonomic and functional structuring of aquatic and terrestrial floodplain bird communities | ||
Mittwoch, 04. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context There has been a limited amount of research which comparatively examines the local and landscape scale ecological determinants of the community structure of both riparian and aquatic bird communities in floodplain ecosystems.

Multiscale spatial analysis of two plant–insect interactions: effects of landscape, resource distribution, and other insects | ||
Dienstag, 03. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Biotic resource exploitation is a critical determinant of species’ distributions. However, quantifying resource exploitation patterns through space and time can be difficult, complicating their incorporation in spatial ecology studies. Therefore, understanding the local drivers of spatial patterns of resource exploitation may contribute to better large-scale species distribution models... | ||
Long-term dynamics of grasslands and livestock in Norwegian cultural landscapes: implications for a sustainable transition of rural livelihoods | ||
Montag, 02. September 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Abandonment of cultural landscape practices has had a notable impact on grasslands and domestic livestock that depend on them. This affects the prerequisites for sustainable transitions of cultural landscapes, which combine traditional livelihoods and novel ones like tourism. Objectives The aims of this study were to explore... | ||
Challenges of and opportunities for integrating social science into landscape ecology research | ||
Samstag, 31. August 2024 | ||
Perceived ecosystem services differ substantially from calculated services using biophysical models | ||
Samstag, 31. August 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Ecosystem services are fundamental for the well-being of residents and are an important basis for making regional sustainable development decisions. Existing studies mainly capture ecosystem services perceived by residents through questionnaires, or quantify the provision of regional ecosystem services through economic evaluation and biophysical evaluation. However, the discrepancy between model calculations... | ||
Multiple habitat graphs: how connectivity brings forth landscape ecological processes | ||
Donnerstag, 29. August 2024 | ||
Abstract Purpose Habitat connectivity is integral to current biodiversity science and conservation strategies. Originally, the connectivity concept stressed the role of individual movements for landscape-scale processes. Connectivity determines whether populations can survive in sub-optimal patches (i.e., source-sink effects), complete life cycles relying on different habitat types (i.e., landscape complementation), and benefit... | ||
Towards sustainable building landscapes: a spatially explicit life-cycle analysis of carbon emissions and mitigation strategies | ||
Mittwoch, 28. August 2024 | ||
Abstract Context The urban landscape plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability goals and aspiring to a zero-emission future. Effective carbon mitigation strategies need a spatially explicit and life-cycle analysis of building emissions, detailed mapping highlights the geographical distribution and specific characteristics of buildings, enabling precise identification and targeted management of emission sources... | ||

Plant phylogenetic diversity along the urban–rural gradient and its association with urbanization degree in Shanghai, China | ||
Donnerstag, 22. August 2024 | ||
Abstract Context The spatial distribution of plant diversity in urban areas is fundamental to understanding the relationship between urbanization and biodiversity. Previous research has primarily focused on taxonomic levels to assess species richness. In contrast, investigations into the spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity in urban plants remain limited... | ||
Brown bear habitat use patterns across 19 years of population expansion in the Cantabrian Mountains | ||
Dienstag, 20. August 2024 | ||
Abstract Context Large carnivores have faced severe extinction pressures throughout Europe during the last centuries, where human-induced disturbances reached unprecedented levels. In the late twentieth century, the Cantabrian brown bear population was on the verge of extinction, due to poaching. Yet, the end of the last century was a turning point for this population. Presence data on the western Cantabrian subpopulation was... | ||
Predicted future range expansion of a small carnivore: swift fox in North America | ||
