Bird responses to forest loss are influence by habitat specialization
Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Pe'er, Guy; Bellocq, Maria Isabel (Diversity and Distributions. Wiley Online Library, 2017-05-16)Aim Due to intrinsic differences in the sensitivity to habitat grain among species, studies performed at different extent are necessary to understand the consequences of forest loss and fragmentation. Using a large database, ... -
Dung beetles response to livestock management in three different regional contexts
Guerra Alonso, Celeste Beatríz; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Bellocq, Maria Isabel (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 ... -
Edge effects and their influence on habitat suitability calculations: a continuous approach applied to birds of the Atlantic forest
Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Pe'er, Guy; Bellocq, Maria Isabel; Hansbauer, Miriam M. (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, ... -
Edge effects on dung beetle assemblages in an Andean mosaic of forest and coffee plantations
Villada Bedoya, Sebastián; Cultid Medina, Carlos Andrés; Escobar, Federico; Guevara, Roger; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (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 ... -
Influence of land use on the taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina
Gómez Cifuentes, Andrés Mauricio; Munévar, Ana Katerinne; Giménez Gómez, Victoria Carolina; Gatti, María Genoveva; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (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 ... -
Influence of land use on the trophic niche overlap of dung beetles in the semideciduous Atlantic forest of Argentina
Giménez Gómez, Victoria Carolina; Verdú Faraco, José Ramón; Gómez Cifuentes, Andrés Mauricio; Vaz de Mello, Fernando Zagury; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (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 ... -
Livestock grazing impact differently on the functional diversity of dung beetles depending on the regional context in subtropical forests.
Guerra Alonso, Celeste Beatríz; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Bellocq, Maria Isabel (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 ... -
Relationship between land uses and diversity of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) in the southern Atlantic forest of Argentina: which are the key factors?
Giménez Gómez, Victoria Carolina; Verdú Faraco, José Ramón; Guerra Alonso, Celeste Beatríz; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (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. ... -
Simple Process-Based Simulators for Generating Spatial Patterns of Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: A Review and Introduction to the G-RaFFe Model
Pe'er, Guy; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Schober, Lucia; Bellocq, Maria Isabel; Strer, Maximilian; Müller, Michael; Pütz, Sandro (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
Hanski, Ilkka; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés; Bellocq, Maria Isabel; Rybicki, Joel (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 ... -
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in the semideciduous Atlantic Forest: An ecological and morphological trait dataset for functional studies
Munévar, Ana Katerinne; Cardoso, Pedro; Piñanez Espejo, Yolanda M. G.; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020-03-12)Background The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition; ... -
Thermal niche helps to explain the ability of dung beetles to exploit disturbed habitats
Giménez Gómez, Victoria Carolina; Verdú Faraco, José Ramón; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (Scientific Reports, 2020-08-07)In terrestrial ecosystems, insects face a wide range of temperatures among habitats and time; consequently, the thermal niche is one of the main determinants of habitat selection and temporal patterns of activity. The ... -
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
Gómez Cifuentes, Andrés Mauricio; Giménez Gómez, Victoria Carolina; Moreno Ortega, Claudia Elizabeth; Zurita, Gustavo Andrés (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 ... -
