Aim Despite the complexity of population dynamics, most studies concerning current
changes in bird populations reduce the trajectory of population change to a linear trend. This …

The use of marginal land, especially that which has already been used for agricultural
purposes in the past two decades, for biomass cultivation is seen as an important approach …

Aim Migratory species rely on multiple ranges across the annual cycle, rendering them
vulnerable to a wide range of spatially disparate anthropogenic threats. The spatial …

Recent declines of many European bird species have been linked with various
environmental changes, especially land-use change and climate change. Since the intensity …

Abstract The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 calls for developing an EU-wide methodology
to map, assess and achieve good condition of ecosystems, so they can deliver benefits to …

Although soil microbes play an important role in the functioning of the forest ecosystem, our
understanding of the spatial distribution characteristics of soil microbes among different …

The structure of forest mammal communities appears surprisingly consistent across the
continental tropics, presumably due to convergent evolution in similar environments …

The family of Columbidae, including pigeons and doves, remains understudied despite their
patrimonial value and high ecological and conservation relevance. Currently, 353 extant …

Land managers must find a compromise between rapidly changing landscapes and
biodiversity conservation through ecological networks. Estimating ecological networks is a …

Aim The abundances and distributions of some species are more closely matched to
variations in climate than others. Species traits that might influence how well the distribution …
