Recent advances in the ecology of food webs underscore the importance of detritus and
indirect predator–prey effects. However, most research considers detritus as an invariable …

Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Environmental changes have a huge impact on the emergence and reemergence of certain
infectious diseases, mostly in countries with high biodiversity and serious unresolved …

Although climate change is acknowledged to affect population dynamics and species
distribution, details of how community composition is affected are still lacking. We investigate …

Assessments of spatial patterns of biodiversity change are essential to detect a signature of
anthropogenic impacts, inform monitoring and conservation programs, and evaluate …

In addition to their potential against deforestation and climate change, agroforestry systems
may have a relevant role in biodiversity conservation. In this sense, not only species …

High Nature Value (HNV) farmlands are expected to support high levels of biological
diversity and may have a relevant role in driving biodiversity dynamics and particularly …

Aim To test whether functional homogenization of bird communities is promoted by
anthropogenic landscape transformation, using specialization and habitat preference …

Conservation of migratory species faces the challenge of understanding the ecological
requirements of individuals living in two geographically separated regions. In some cases …

Identifying the species most vulnerable to extinction as a result of climate change is a
necessary first step in mitigating biodiversity decline. Species distribution modeling (SDM) is …
