This study investigates the distribution and conservation status of plant species in lentic
wetlands of Mediterranean islands. Field data on vascular macrophytes were collected from …

Progressive habitat fragmentation threatens plant species with narrow habitat requirements.
While local environmental conditions define population growth rates and recruitment …

For more than two decades, wetland restoration has been successfully applied in Denmark
as a tool to protect watercourses from elevated nutrient inputs from agriculture, but little is …

The decline of bees compromises pollination services and connectivity of plant populations,
both wild and domesticated. The aim of this study was to evaluate bee diversity in natural …

The spread by arthropods (zoochory) is an essential dispersal mechanism for many
microorganisms, like plant pathogens. Carabid beetles are very abundant and mobile …

The influence of island dynamics and characteristics on taxonomic diversity, particularly
species richness, are well studied. Yet, our knowledge on the influence of island dynamics …

Context Preserving hydrophyte and wetland plant diversity is among the most critical
environmental issues worldwide. The progressive decline and disappearance of these …

In plants, long-distance dispersal is both attenuated and directed by specific movement
vectors, including animals, wind, and/or water. Hence, movement vectors partly shape …

Small temporary wetlands, like kettle holes, provide many valuable ecosystem functions and
serve as refuge habitats in otherwise monotonous agricultural landscapes. However, the …

Seed dispersal plays an important role in population dynamics in agricultural ecosystems,
but the effects of surrounding vegetation height on seed dispersal and population …
