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. Developments ...... hiện toàn bộ
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.

The Scale-Dependent Role of Biological Traits in Landscape Ecology: A ReviewCurrent Landscape Ecology Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 12-22 - 2018
Andrés Felipe Suárez-Castro, Jeremy S. Simmonds, Matthew G. E. Mitchell, Martine Maron, Jonathan R. Rhodes
We describe current approaches that evaluate how the influence of species traits on the relationship between environmental variables and ecological responses varies among scales (i.e. the scale-dependent role of traits). We quantify which traits and ecological responses have been assessed, and discuss the main challenges associated with quantifying the scale-dependent effect of traits. We identify...... 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
