| Wood-living beetle diversity is enriched by surrounding broadleaf forest in a conifer forestry landscape | ||
| Freitag, 06. Dezember 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Humans have drastically changed many of the world’s forests since the industrial revolution, with northern European forests among the most affected. Research is needed on consequent effects on forest biodiversity. Here I focus on the conservation-relevant wood-living beetles. Whilst previous studies have examined the effect of local stand characteristics on beetle diversity, the influence of the surrounding... | ||
| Spatiotemporal patterns of small carnivores in a human-dominated forest landscape shared with apex predators | ||
| Mittwoch, 04. Dezember 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Rapid increases in human population and the resulting apex predator defaunation are affecting the spatial and temporal dynamics of small carnivores, with uncertain consequences for the ecological community. Documenting the spatiotemporal impact of apex predators and human disturbance on small carnivores becomes crucial to managers overseeing carnivore persistence... | ||
| Contrasting topography-vegetation relationships at natural and human-influenced mountain treelines in the Peruvian Andes | ||
| Mittwoch, 04. Dezember 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context The tropical Andes have a long history of human land use, which has affected vegetation patterns especially at high elevations. However, reference patterns to quantify these effects are missing due to lacking data from mountain ranges unaffected by humans. Objectives We compared landscape-scale patterns of forest distribution... | ||
| Constructing ecological network based on multi-objective genetic algorithms: a case study of Changsha City, China | ||
| Sonntag, 01. Dezember 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Regional ecological security faces serious threats in a changing world.

Despite years of intense and fruitful studies, accurately identifying ecological source patches when facing multiple... | ||
| Scale and Zoning Effects on Landscape Metrics for Assessing Ecological Stress from Urban Expansion | ||
| Donnerstag, 28. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Landscape metrics can effectively quantify urban landscape dynamics and their ecological stress, but incorrect metric, scale and zoning choices may lead to inaccurate result and biased land use planning. Objectives This study aims to explore how the scale and zoning affected the magnitude and spatial pattern of ecological... | ||
| Cropland functional diversity increases ecosystem services supply in watersheds of the Rio de la Plata Grasslands | ||
| Montag, 25. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Implementing heterogeneous rural landscapes with high agricultural diversity and a substantial proportion of natural habitats has been proposed to ensure food production while reducing negative impacts on ecosystem services. However, evidence of an increased supply of ecosystem services (ES) in more heterogeneous landscapes remains limited, with no consensus... | ||
| Correction to: Scale of effect of landscape patterns on resource selection by bobcats (Lynx rufus) in a multi‑use rangeland system | ||
| Samstag, 23. November 2024 | ||
| A temporal gradient approach reveals similar infrastructure composition but marked density differences along the gradient in new and old built-up areas | ||
| Donnerstag, 21. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context To understand the impacts of environmental and socioeconomic changes on the sustainability of urban and rural landscapes, it is essential to quantify the landscape patterns along the urban-rural continuum. However, current characterizations of urbanization often rely on impervious surface patterns, overlooking the intensity and types of human activities within urban areas... | ||
| Landscape forest cover and regional context shape the conservation value of shaded cocoa agroforests for bees and social wasps | ||
| Mittwoch, 20. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context The expansion of agricultural lands threatens biodiversity maintenance across the tropics. Although some agroforestry systems may be biodiversity-friendly, their conservation value likely depends on the landscape and regional contexts in which they are embedded—a poorly tested hypothesis. Objectives We assessed the... | ||
| Forest plant invasions in the eastern United States: evidence of invasion debt in the wildland-urban interface | ||
| Mittwoch, 20. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Non-native invasive plants are a growing threat to forests. Meanwhile, the amount of forest within the wildland-urban interface (WUI) is increasing, with housing-associated disturbances enabling the spread of non-native plants. Objectives We tested whether (1) WUI or non-WUI forests are more invaded, (2) WUI intermix forests... | ||
| Detrimental effects of urbanisation on animal assemblages and a key ecological function persist across ecosystems | ||
| Dienstag, 19. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Urbanisation is pervasive across landscapes and seascapes and leads to the loss, degradation and fragmentation of many natural ecosystems and this has widespread consequences for animals and the ecological functions they support. While the impacts of urbanisation are understood for many individual coastal ecosystems in isolation, it is unclear how these impacts influence animal assemblages and ecological... | ||
| Mapping the luminous intrusion: a nationwide multidecadal emerging bivariate cluster analysis of bat habitat’s exposure likelihood to nighttime light | ||
| Dienstag, 19. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Artificial nighttime lights can adversely impact animal behavior, particularly in nocturnal species. Evidence shows that bats can become inactive due to night lights and may avoid trees bathed in such light, consequently decreasing nocturnal pollination frequency. Although numerous biological studies have been conducted to understand the alteration in bat behavior due to artificial night lights, mapping the... | ||
| Landscape contexts shape the effects of local factors on the predation of artificial bird nests in cocoa agroforests | ||
| Dienstag, 19. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Nest predation represents the pivotal threat to bird reproduction in disturbed environments. Although some agricultural systems, such as agroforests, are considered biodiversity-friendly, there is still a lack of information on how factors acting at different spatial scales shape nest predation in these environments. Objectives... | ||
| Anthropogenic predation risk alters waterfowl habitat selection | ||
| Dienstag, 19. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Anthropogenic disturbance, such as land conversion, recreation, and predation, can affect how wildlife select resources across the landscape. Prey species are thought to rely on both a cognitive map of risks (‘landscape of fear’) and a schedule of risks (‘schedule of fear’) to navigate their environment and make trade-offs among resources and habitats... | ||
| Using land surface phenology and information theory to assess and map complex landscape dynamics | ||
| Dienstag, 19. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Characterizing landscape ecological complexity and change requires integrated description of spatial and temporal landscape organization and dynamics, as suggested by the shifting mosaic concept. Remotely sensed land surface phenology allows the detection of even small differences among landscape patches and through time, allowing for the analysis of landscapes as shifting mosaics... | ||
| Integrating supply and beneficiaries into assessing the benefit of water purification service: a spatial flow perspective | ||
| Montag, 18. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Water purification service (WPS) helps to provide clean water to human wellbeing, which is a key factor for sustainability of water ecosystem. The supply-demand relationship of WPS has been widely discussed, but there still lacks a full chain analysis from its supply to benefit, making it hard to reflect WPS’s actual contribution to human society, and cannot guide the landscape management effectively... | ||
| Relationships between flower-visiting insects and forest cover in cocoa-growing landscapes in Ghana | ||
| Sonntag, 17. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Increased cocoa cultivation (Theobroma cacao) has led to the conversion of over 6 million hectares of rainforest to cocoa farmlands in West Africa. Globally, pollinator decline has been driven by land use changes. Though land use change through cocoa expansion may affect insect pollinators and, by extension, pollination services, this has rarely been assessed... | ||
| Activity-based measures of landscape fragmentation | ||
| Samstag, 16. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Landscape fragmentation, which has demonstrated links to habitat loss, increased isolation, a loss of connectivity, and decreased biodiversity, is difficult to quantify. Traditional pattern-based approaches to measuring fragmentation use landscape metrics to quantify aspects of the composition or configuration of landscapes. Objective... | ||
| Impacts of urban land-cover on plant community structure and biodiversity in a multi-use landscape | ||
| Samstag, 16. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context While research and policy alike have recognized the importance of conserving biodiversity, the rapid and continued expansion of urban areas hinders many conservation efforts, particularly as many high-value conservation areas are found in landscapes already modified by human use. Research into the impact of landscape mosaics—their composition and configuration in particular—is important to understanding the... | ||
| Repeatable patterns in the distribution of freshwater biodiversity indicators across contrasting landscapes | ||
| Donnerstag, 14. November 2024 | ||
| Abstract Context Freshwater biodiversity is declining at unparalleled rates, but fundamental questions remain over how it is distributed at the spatial scales most relevant for conservation management. Objectives Here, we test the hypothesis that freshwater biodiversity is distributed across standing waterbody types in a pattern that is... | ||
