Tree retention in cattle ranching systems partially preserves dung beetle diversity and functional groups in the semideciduous Atlantic forest : The role of microclimate and soil conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)
The disturbance of natural environments affects, among others, the diversity of dung beetle assemblages, which could have serious consequences for the ecological processes regulated by these insects. The objective of this ...
Influence of land use on the trophic niche overlap of dung beetles in the semideciduous Atlantic forest of Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-11-01)
The degradation and replacement of natural ecosystems affect species abundance, diversity and interspecific interaction through the modification of resource availability and environmental conditions. Land uses preserving ...
Edge effects on dung beetle assemblages in an Andean mosaic of forest and coffee plantations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, 2016-11-01)
In landscapes dominated by agriculture, conspicuous edges often occur between landscape elements. However, there is disagreement about the existence and intensity of edge effects, and information about species‐specific ...
Relationship between land uses and diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina: which are the key factors?
(Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2018-07-26)
The loss of natural habitats is one of the main drivers of biodiversity decline. Anthropogenic land uses preserving biotic and abiotic conditions of the native ecosystem are more suitable to preserve the native biodiversity. ...
Estudio de la influencia de los escarabajos estercoleros en el proceso de enterramiento de heces en la productividad (producción de pasto) bajo diferentes modalidades de manejo ganadero en la provincia de Misiones
(Universidad Nacional de Misiones. Secretaría General de Ciencia y Tecnología, 2020)
Simple Process-Based Simulators for Generating Spatial Patterns of Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: A Review and Introduction to the G-RaFFe Model
(Simon Thrush, National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, New Zealand, 2013-05-28)
Landscape simulators are widely applied in landscape ecology for generating landscape patterns. These models can be divided into two categories: pattern-based models that generate spatial patterns irrespective of the ...
Species–fragmented area relationship
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 2013-07-30)
The species–area relationship (SAR) gives a quantitative description of the increasing number of species in a community with increasing area of habitat. In conservation, SARs have been used to predict the number of extinctions ...
Dung beetles response to livestock management in three different regional contexts
(Scientific Reports, 2020-02-28)
The response of biological communities to human disturbances depends on factors acting at local and regional scale and on the interaction between them. We compared the response of native forest dung beetle communities to ...
The World Spider Trait database: a centralized global open repository for curated data on spider traits
(Database, 2021-10-20)
Spiders are a highly diversified group of arthropods and play an important role in terrestrial ecosystems as ubiquitous predators, which makes them a suitable group to test a variety of eco-evolutionary hypotheses. For ...
Influence of land use on the taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina
(Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2008-03-01)
The degradation and replacement of native ecosystems affects both their taxonomic and functional biodiversity. However, native species may find a gradient of habitat suitability in different land uses within a region. The ...
