Mutualistic relationships versus hyper-efficiencies in the sustainable building and citySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 195-204 - 2013
Ebru Ozer
The quest for sustainability in the design and development of buildings and
cities has expressed itself predominantly as a pursuit of ever-greater
efficiency. Urban systems have been developed to achieve energy and resource
savings in an attempt to eliminate their environmentally negative impacts. The
end goal would seem to be to make buildings and cities virtually invisible
within the context of ... hiện toàn bộ
Artificial light changes visual perception by pollinators in a hawkmoth-plant interaction systemSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-15 - 2024
Corina Vissio, Eugenia M. Drewniak, Andrea A. Cocucci, Marcela Moré, Santiago Benitez-Vieyra, Adrián Giaquinta, Florencia Soteras
Night-flying pollinators, such as hawkmoths, are particularly vulnerable to the
global spread of urban artificial lighting which is changing nighttime
environments worldwide, impacting organisms and their interactions. Incident
light quality can alter flower and leaf color perception by insects, depending
on the emission spectra of light sources and the spectral sensitivity of
insects. We asked, u... hiện toàn bộ
Structural elements as barriers against wear in urban woodlandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 45-56 - 1999
S. Lehvävirta
The effect of structural elements of woodlands (trees, rocks, topography, etc.)
on the spatial distribution of wear was studied in 30 sites in the cities of
Helsinki and Vantaa, Finland. Discriminant analysis showed that the size of the
adjacent human population and structural elements within study sites were
important in distinguishing sample plots with a lot of path area (≥6 m2/30 m2)
from those... hiện toàn bộ
Notes on the evolution and organization of the urban ecosystemSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 291-298 - 2006
Krunica Hruska
The continual spread of human settlements over the world’s surface has
transformed the natural environment on a global scale. Human’s intervention has
changed primary ecosystems (protoecosystems or euecosystems) into
anthropoecosystems. The spread of urban ecosystems, cultivated surfaces
(agroecosystems), and various areas differentiated by their level of
anthropization has facilitated the progres... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting burrowing owl flight trajectories in urban environmentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 499-509 - 2021
Eduardo Guimarães Santos, Helga Correa Wiederhecker, Ricardo Bomfim Machado
It is important to understand how animals respond to changes in landscape
structure, especially when considering habitat alteration and urbanization.
Using the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) as an ecological model we tested
two hypotheses: (1) the landscape of urban areas influences trajectories of the
burrowing owl, which responds changing its displacement patterns, and (2) models

Conservation of skinks in New Zealand citiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2023
Christopher Woolley, Stephen Hartley, John Innes, Danielle F. Shanahan, Yolanda van Heezik, Deborah Wilson, Nicola J. Nelson
AbstractUrbanisation dramatically alters ecosystems, disrupting key processes
and threatening species persistence. Despite growing knowledge of the impacts of
cities on wildlife, particularly for birds and mammals, there remains a paucity
of research on how urbanisation impacts other taxa, including reptiles. We
examined how urbanisation affects skink communities across multiple New Zealand
cities... hiện toàn bộ
Ảnh hưởng của lớp phủ cảnh quan đối với đất bề mặt trong khu dân cư có mật độ thấp ở Baltimore, Maryland Dịch bởi AI Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 115-129 - 2016
Yesilonis, Ian D., Pouyat, R. V., Russell-Anelli, J., Powell, E.
Các nghiên cứu trước đây ở quy mô thành phố đã chỉ ra rằng các chất dinh dưỡng
trong đất bề mặt, pH và chất hữu cơ trong đất (SOM) có thể khác nhau tùy theo
kiểu lớp phủ đất, cách sử dụng đất và quản lý. Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện tại
hạt Baltimore, Maryland, nhằm định lượng sự khác biệt trong các đặc tính của đất
ở một khu dân cư và mảnh rừng lân cận dựa trên một quy mô tinh vi. Mục tiêu đầu
