| Multi-trophic arthropod communities modulated by local farming system and landscape heterogeneity | ||
| Freitag, 30. Januar 2026 | ||
| Context Organic farming is increasingly used worldwide in recent decades, but the role of this farming system in shaping the trophic structure of arthropod communities remains poorly understood, especially at different spatial scales. Therefore, the contribution of landscape heterogeneity in shaping arthropod’s trophic guilds remain understudied. Objectives In this study, we assessed how the evenness, the abundance and the... | ||
| Context matters: how river typology shapes biotic responses to fine sediment pressure | ||
| Mittwoch, 28. Januar 2026 | ||
| Context Excess fine sediment is a global stressor affecting freshwater biodiversity. However, little consideration has been given to how large-scale landscape controls and temporal variability may influence the effect of fine sediment deposition and storage on biological communities. Objectives We assess if ecological responses to deposited fine sediment are spatially and temporally consistent through the application of the river... | ||
| Does temporal variability in floral resources at the landscape scale impact wild bee diversity and watermelon pollination? | ||
| Freitag, 23. Januar 2026 | ||
| Context The stability of flower resources in agricultural landscapes affects wild bee communities. Mass flowering crops provide monospecific resource pulses for pollinators in rural landscapes, while semi-natural habitats provide biodiverse plant communities and more continuous flower resources. Objectives In this study, we hypothesized that organically-managed watermelon fields and those surrounded by landscapes with high cover... | ||
| In search of Schrödinger’s patch: a functional approach to habitat delineation | ||
| Mittwoch, 21. Januar 2026 | ||
| Context The effective delineation of habitat is crucial for understanding drivers of habitat loss and fragmentation, and their effects on biodiversity outcomes at local to global scales. The concept of the habitat patch is central to this process but presents both theoretical and methodological challenges related to the seemingly irreconcilable tendency of habitat to simultaneously exhibit characteristics of both gradation and aggregation. This apparent contradiction... | ||
| Is the definition of ‘industrial landscape’ still valid? review and synthesis | ||
| Dienstag, 20. Januar 2026 | ||
| Context ‘Industrial landscape’ is a term broadly used in the landscape literature. However, it remains a concept that requires further analysis, reconsideration, and updating, as it was based mainly on the imaginary formed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which was as a product of the first phase of the Industrial Revolution. Objectives This study aims to contextualise and typologise the concept of ‘industrial... | ||
