Livestock grazing impact differently on the functional diversity of dung beetles depending on the regional context in subtropical forests
(Scientific Reports, 2022-01-31)
The replacement of native forest by cattle pastures reduces functional diversity; however, little is known about whether the changes depend on regional variation. Dung beetles are one of the most diverse and functionally ...
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 ...
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 ...
Edge effects and their influence on habitat suitability calculations : a continuous approach applied to birds of the Atlantic forest
(British Ecological Society, 2012-01-18)
1. The suitability of human-modified habitats for native species and the response of species to habitat edges are two important ecological processes that affect species and communities in fragmented landscapes. However, ...
