Response of Bird Functional Traits to Landscape Heterogeneity
With rapidly increasing human populations as a driving force, agricultural expansion has intensified globally (Godfray et al., 2010; Tilman et al., 2011). As agriculture expands into previously unused regions, it fragments and replaces natural habitats, shifting diverse native vegetation to exotic monocultures that support lower biodiversity (Benton et al. 2002; Díaz et al. 2000; Donald, 2004; ...
متن کاملNo Habitat Selection during Spring Migration at a Meso-Scale Range across Mosaic Landscapes: A Case Study with the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)
Success of migration in birds in part depends on habitat selection. Overall, it is still poorly known whether there is habitat selection amongst landbird migrants moving across landscapes. Europe is chiefly covered by agro-forestry mosaic landscapes, so migratory species associated to either agricultural landscapes or woodland habitats should theoretically find suitable stopover sites along mig...
متن کاملMosaic-Level Inference of the Impact of Land Cover Changes in Agricultural Landscapes on Biodiversity: A Case-Study with a Threatened Grassland Bird
Changes in land use/land cover are a major driver of biodiversity change in the Mediterranean region. Understanding how animal populations respond to these landscape changes often requires using landscape mosaics as the unit of investigation, but few previous studies have measured both response and explanatory variables at the land mosaic level. Here, we used a "whole-landscape" approach to ass...
متن کاملConservation of farmland birds faces different challenges in Western and Central-Eastern Europe
Birds are commonly used as an example of the strongly declining farmland biodiversity in Europe. The populations of many species have been shown to suffer from intensification of management, reduction of landscape heterogeneity, and habitat loss and fragmentation. These conditions particularly dominate farmland in the economically well developed countries of Western Europe. Currently, the farml...
متن کاملDegenerate Primers Facilitate the Detection and Identification of Potyviruses From the Northwest Region of Iran
Background: Potyviruses are accounted for 40% of viral diseases of various crops including vegetables and legumes. Potyviruses can be transmitted through plant sap, seeds and many aphid species. Due to ease of spread of these viruses detection of such viruses are crucial as to the control of the incited diseases. Objectives: This study compared the efficiencies of two couples of primers in the...
