Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "European Journal of Wildlife Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s10344-020-01442-6
Abstract: The European beaver (Castor fiber) has extended its range into most Central European countries over the past 30 years, resulting in increased forestry damage and water management issues. As the number of beavers increases populations become… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-018-0677-1
Abstract: ContextIntensive agricultural management practices and landscape homogenisation are the main drivers of biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes. Agricultural fields are regularly disturbed and provide unstable habitats due to crop management regimes. This may lead to… read more here.

Dynamics of Utah's agricultural landscapes in response to urbanization: A comparison between irrigated and non-irrigated agricultural lands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Applied Geography"
DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeog.2019.02.006
Abstract: Abstract In the literature on how urbanization affects agricultural landscapes, little attention has been focused on differentiating and comparing the changes in irrigated agricultural landscapes to non-irrigated agricultural landscapes. Additionally, there have been few applications… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.108889
Abstract: Efficient management of agricultural management should consider multiple services and stakeholders. Yet, it remains unclear how to guarantee ecosystem services for multiple stakeholders' demands, especially considering the observed biodiversity decline following reductions in semi-natural habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109208
Abstract: Abstract One target of biological conservation is the protection of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. However, in their land-use decisions, farmers are often challenged with balancing biodiversity maintenance and profit generation. Under the current agricultural system,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2020.110514
Abstract: Reinforcing the high-dose/refuge strategy with releases of transgenic insects has been posited as a method for simultaneously managing agricultural pest populations and resistance to transgenic crops. Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that these approaches… read more here.
