The goal of the present study is to assess how landscape configuration influenced the
distribution of life‐history traits across bird, carabid beetle and butterfly communities of …

Landscape heterogeneity is a major driver of biodiversity in agricultural areas and
represents an important parameter in conservation strategies. However, most landscape …

Aim To evaluate the joint and independent effects of spatial location, landscape composition
and landscape structure on the distribution patterns of bird and carabid beetle assemblages …

The conservation of biodiversity has gained prominence in ecological research for the last
decades. Conservation actions require a measure of biodiversity such as species richness …

Determining habitat and landscape features that lead to patterns of biodiversity in cultivated
landscapes is an important step for the assessment of the impact of extensification …

Our purpose was to define a quantitative and expeditious method to analyze the effects of
processes that influence species distribution and abundance at different organizational …

Quantifying the impact of land-use changes on biodiversity is a major challenge in
conservation ecology. Static spatial relationships between bird communities and agricultural …

In Mediterranean landscapes, wildfires and land abandonment lead to major landscape
modifications primarily by favouring the presence of open, shrub-like habitats. At present, we …

To evaluate the importance of urban woodlands to serve as potential sites for biodiversity
conservation, we analysed bird, carabid beetle and small mammal community responses to …

Aim Species richness in itself is not always sufficient to evaluate land management
strategies for nature conservation. The exchange of species between local communities may …
