Conservation status of vascular epiphytes in the neotropics
Biodiversity and Conservation - - Trang 1-21 - 2023
The Neotropical realm hosts some of the Earth’s most species-rich biodiversity hotspots, with vascular epiphytes significantly contributing to this diversity, regionally accounting for up to 39% of the vascular flora. However, many regions of the Neotropics where epiphytic species of restricted distribution are reported coincide with threatened ecosystems, such as the tropical montane cloud forest...... hiện toàn bộ
High plant diversity of lowland rainforest vestiges in eastern Madagascar
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 8 - Trang 273-315 - 1999
Based on cartography, floristic inventory and vegetation analysis in the north and south of the Eastern Domain of Madagascar we identified three original tropical rainforest types which are among the world's most biodiverse known sites for plants: the littoral forest on sand, the lowland forest on gneiss and the lowland forest on basalt. Floristic and structural comparisons were conducted on 37 pl...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of post-European stream change on frog habitat: southeastern Australia
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 12 - Trang 301-320 - 2003
Stream geomorphology and fluvial processes in Australia have generallybeen modified substantially since European settlement. In the case of theSouthern Tablelands of New South Wales, in southeastern Australia, detailednotes of early explorers and settlers and early survey maps have providedinsight into the nature of these changes. Early explorers described most streamsin this area as 'chains-of-po...... hiện toàn bộ
Reservoirs promote the taxonomic homogenization of fish communities within river basins
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 20 - Trang 41-57 - 2010
Most studies analyzing patterns in biotic homogenization of fish communities have used large-scale approaches, while the community-level effects of species introductions and local extinctions within river basins have been sparsely analyzed. In this article, we examine patterns in freshwater fish α- and β-diversity in relation to the presence of reservoirs in a Mediterranean river (Guadiana river; ...... hiện toàn bộ
Indigenous knowledge and traditional conservation of fonio millet (Digitaria exilis, Digitaria iburua) in Togo
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 15 - Trang 2379-2395 - 2006
Fonio millet (Digitaria exilis Stapf, Digitaria iburua Stapf) is known in Togo far several centuries and has played a strategic role in the household food security mainly in rural areas. Using Participatory Research Appraisal (PRA) tools and techniques, 55 villages randomly selected in the two production zones of Togo were surveyed to document the ethnobotanical and indigenous knowledge related to...... hiện toàn bộ
Reevaluating Europe’s other debt with improved statistical tools
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 24 - Trang 205-211 - 2014
Dullinger et al. (Proc Nat Acad Sci USA 110:7342–7347, 2013) showed that current proportions of threatened species in European countries are more correlated to socio-economic pressures calculated a century ago than to current socio-economic pressures. These results could have important impacts on future political decisions, yet the statistical analyses used may be strongly impacted by pseudo-repli...... hiện toàn bộ
Phylogenetic diversity of regional beetle faunas at high latitudes: patterns, drivers and chance along ecological gradients
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 24 - Trang 2751-2767 - 2015
Patterns in phylogenetic diversity are poorly known for many taxonomic groups, including hyperdiverse insect taxa. We contrasted patterns in the species richness and phylogenetic diversity of provincial beetle faunas in northern Europe (54°N to 71°N). We found that species richness and phylogenetic diversity varied rather predictably along ecogeographical gradients, with species richness and a pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Biodiversity and phytogeography of the alpine flora of Iran
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 17 - Trang 493-521 - 2007
Iran is a mountainous country. Zagros and Alborz mountains reach altitudes of more than 4,000 m. Alpine regions are above timber-line, which is not easy to recognize, since aridity is prominent in most regions. The alpine zone in Alborz lies between 3,000 and 4,000 m, the nival zone is above 4,000 m, locally varying by some hundred meters. A first evaluation of vascular flora shows that 682 specie...... hiện toàn bộ
Sewage pollution and extinction risk: an endangered limpet as a bioindicator?
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 16 - Trang 377-397 - 2007
The mollusc Patella ferruginea, endemic to the Mediterranean, is the most endangered marine species on the list of the European Council Directive 92/43/EEC and it is under serious risk of extinction. In spite of the low abundances and restricted distribution of this limpet, important populations have been found in the harbour of Ceuta, north Africa. The main objective of the present study was to c...... hiện toàn bộ
Biodiversity of soil microarthropods: the filtering of species
Biodiversity and Conservation - Tập 5 - Trang 251-260 - 1996
Decline of soil microarthropod biodiversity is described in the sequence: old forest stands, low-input grasslands, high-input grasslands (with and without the use of persistent pesticides). With this expected trend of declining biodiversity, the patterns of species losses are analysed with the use of classifications of life-history tactics, feeding guilds and tolerances to drought. Species intoler...... hiện toàn bộ
