The Landscape Ecology of Rivers: from Patch-Based to Spatial Network AnalysesCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 103-112 - 2019
Tibor Erős, Winsor H. Lowe
We synthesize recent methodological and conceptual advances in the field of
riverscape ecology, emphasizing areas of synergy with current research in
landscape ecology. Recent advances in riverscape ecology highlight the need for
spatially explicit examinations of how network structure influences ecological
pattern and process, instead of the simple linear (upstream-downstream) view.

Forest Certification in the Context of the Functional Complex Network Approach for Forest ManagementCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 1-10 - 2022
Daniel G. Scognamillo, Darren J. H. Sleep
At its core, sustainable forest management should maintain all ecological
functions and resilience within a range of natural variation. Thus, the main
challenge is to develop and implement management strategies that focus on a
scalable multi-purpose approach where multiple forest resources are extracted
while promoting biodiversity, water and soil conservation, and carbon
sequestration. Acknowledg... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial Scaling Involving the Complexity of Biotic Interactions: Integrating Concepts, Current Status, and Future PerspectivesCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 137-148 - 2023
Wesley Dáttilo, André Luis Regolin, Fernanda Baena-Díaz, Danilo Boscolo
Despite the potential and increased use of multiscale spatial analysis in
landscape ecology, the theoretical and empirical information available in the
literature generally focuses on species habitat modeling and the effects of
landscape modification on biotic interactions have not been sufficiently
explored. In this study, we provide a current and comprehensive overview on
where we are and where ... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of Urban Living: Urbanization and Ground BeetlesCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 9-21 - 2020
Tibor Magura, Gábor L. Lövei
Urbanization is increasing worldwide, transforming environmental and habitat
parameters, and causing adverse effects on organisms living in urban habitats.
Urban studies on ground beetles are exponentially increasing and cover all
levels of biological organization. Still, to date, there is no comprehensive
paper reviewing the impacts of urbanization on ground beetles at different
levels of biologi... hiện toàn bộ
Microlandscape Experiments: Are They Useful for Scale, Scaling, and Cross-Scale Inference?Current Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 116-127 - 2022
Yolanda F. Wiersma, David C. Schneider
Ecologists frequently must sample and do experiments at smaller scales than the
processes of interest. Microlandscape experiments are one potential tool in
landscape ecology, because these allow researchers to test hypotheses
experimentally, something that is generally not possible in kilometer-extent
landscapes. Another tool is to scale samples in space and/or time, and draw
inferences across sca... hiện toàn bộ
Functional Response to Cumulative Effects as an Effective Tool for Wildlife ManagementCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - - Trang 1-12 - 2023
Katrien A. Kingdon, Frances E. C. Stewart, Yolanda F. Wiersma, Eric Vander Wal
The contemporary rate of environmental change is faster than ever recorded.
Wildlife will need to acclimate or adapt habitat selection strategies to persist
in the face of rapid natural and anthropogenic change. We reviewed primary
literature on cumulative effects and habitat selection frameworks that link to
functional response. Our primary goal was to highlight how functional response
to habitat... hiện toàn bộ
Remote Sensing’s Recent and Future Contributions to Landscape EcologyCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 45-57 - 2020
Morgan A. Crowley, Jeffrey A. Cardille
The purpose of this article is to review landscape ecology research from the
past 5 years to identify past and future contributions from remote sensing to
landscape ecology. Recent studies in landscape ecology have employed advances
made in remote sensing. These include the use of reliable and open datasets
derived from remote sensing, the availability of new sources for freely
available satellite... hiện toàn bộ
Landscape Ecology Meets Disease Ecology in the Tropical America: Patterns, Trends, and Future DirectionsCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - - 2024
Matheus C. S. Mancini, Julia Rodrigues Barreto, Raquel L. Carvalho, Renata L. Muylaert, Ricardo Corasa Arrais, Paula R. Prist
In this paper, we synthesize the status and trends of studies assessing the
effects of landscape structure and changes on zoonotic and vector-borne disease
risk in the Tropical America region (i.e., spanning from Mexico to southern
South America). Understanding how landscape structure affects disease emergence
is critical to designing prevention measures and maintaining healthy ecosystems
for both... hiện toàn bộ
Defining Landscapes and Scales to Model Landscape–Organism InteractionsCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 89-95 - 2017
Mark S. Boyce, Conor D. Mallory, Andrea T. Morehouse, Christina M. Prokopenko, Matthew A. Scrafford, Camille H. Warbington
We review and provide comment on issues of scale in ecological studies in the
context of two paradigms used to define landscapes: the patch-mosaic and
gradient models. Our intent is to offer guidance for structuring
habitat-selection models with examples of how scale, autocorrelation,
measurement error, and choice of patch-mosaic or gradient models, analysis
methods, and covariates by the research... hiện toàn bộ
