Integrating Landscape Disturbance and Indicator Species in Conservation Studies
Successful conservation plans are conditioned by our ability to detect anthropogenic change in space and time and various statistical analyses have been developed to handle this critical issue. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate a new approach for spatial analysis in conservation biology. Here, we propose a two-step protocol. First, we introduce a new disturbance metric which pro...
متن کاملAquatic Hyphomycete Species are Screened by the 1 Hyporheic Zone of Woodland Streams
48 Aquatic hyphomycetes strongly contribute to organic matter dynamics in streams but their 49 abilities to colonize leaf litter buried in streambed sediments remain unexplored. Here, we 50 conducted field and laboratory experiments (slow-filtration columns and stream-simulating 51 microcosms) to test the following hypotheses: (a) that the hyporheic habitat acting as a 52 physical sieve for spo...

متن کاملUrbanization Level and Woodland Size Are Major Drivers of Woodpecker Species Richness and Abundance
Urbanization is a process globally responsible for loss of biodiversity and for biological homogenization. Urbanization may have a direct negative impact on species behaviour and indirect effects on species populations through alterations of their habitats, for example patch size and habitat quality. Woodpeckers are species potentially susceptible to urbanization. These birds are mostly forest ...
متن کاملBritish Forest Landscapes the Legacy of Woodland Fragmentation
T woodlands of Britain, in common with many natural habitats throughout the World, have experienced considerable loss and fragmentation through a long history of human activity. Current woodland cover has fallen to less than 12% from an estimated high of around 75% around 6,000 years ago. The majority of woodlands are now very small and isolated within a primarily agricultural landscape. This i...
