Herbivore cross‐scale redundancy supports response diversity and promotes coral reef resilienceJournal of Applied Ecology - Tập 53 Số 3 - Trang 646-655 - 2016
Kirsty L. Nash, Nicholas A. J. Graham, Simon Jennings, Shaun K. Wilson, David R. Bellwood
Summary
Functional redundancy contributes to resilience if different species in the same functional group respond to disturbance in different ways (response diversity). If species in a functional group perform their functional role at different spatial scales (cross‐scale redundancy), they are expected to respond differently to...... hiện toàn bộ
Configurational landscape heterogeneity shapes functional community composition of grassland butterfliesJournal of Applied Ecology - Tập 52 Số 2 - Trang 505-513 - 2015
David J. Perović, Sagrario Gámez‐Virués, Carmen Börschig, Alexandra‐Maria Klein, Jochen Krauß, Juliane Steckel, Christoph Rothenwöhrer, Stefan Erasmi, Teja Tscharntke, Catrin Westphal
Summary
Landscape heterogeneity represents two aspects of landscape simplification: (i) compositional heterogeneity (diversity of habitat types); and (ii) configurational heterogeneity (number, size and arrangement of habitat patches), both with different ecological implications for community composition.... hiện toàn bộ
Patterns and determinants of mammal species occurrence in IndiaJournal of Applied Ecology - Tập 46 Số 6 - Trang 1189-1200 - 2009
Krithi K. Karanth, James D. Nichols, James E. Hines, K. Ullas Karanth, Norman L. Christensen
Summary 1. Many Indian mammals face range contraction and extinction, but assessments of their population status are hindered by the lack of reliable distribution data and range maps. 2. We estimated the current geographical ranges of 20 species of large mammals by applying occupancy models to data from...... hiện toàn bộ
Social and ecological drivers of success in agri‐environment schemes: the roles of farmers and environmental contextJournal of Applied Ecology - Tập 52 Số 3 - Trang 696-705 - 2015
Morag McCracken, Ben A. Woodcock, Matt Lobley, Richard F. Pywell, Eirini Saratsi, Ruth D. Swetnam, Simon R. Mortimer, Stephanie J. Harris, Michael Winter, Shelley A. Hinsley, James M. Bullock
Summary
Agri‐environment schemes remain a controversial approach to reversing biodiversity losses, partly because the drivers of variation in outcomes are poorly understood. In particular, there is a lack of studies that consider both social and ecological factors.
We analysed v...... hiện toàn bộ
Sweat bees on hot chillies: provision of pollination services by native bees in traditional slash‐and‐burn agriculture in the Yucatán Peninsula of tropical MexicoJournal of Applied Ecology - Tập 54 Số 6 - Trang 1814-1824 - 2017
Patricia Landaverde‐González, José Javier G. Quezada‐Euán, Panagiotis Theodorou, Tomás E. Murray, Martin Husemann, Ricardo Ayala, Humberto Moo‐Valle, Rémy Vandame, Robert J. Paxton
Summary
Traditional tropical agriculture often entails a form of slash‐and‐burn land management that may adversely affect ecosystem services such as pollination, which are required for successful crop yields. The Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico has a >4000 year history of traditional slash‐and‐burn agriculture, termed ‘milpa’. Ho...... hiện toàn bộ
