DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1528-8
Abstract: Given that biological conservation cannot prevent the full range of negative impacts on biodiversity, ecological restoration is nowadays commonly acknowledged as a necessary tool for conservation purposes. Here, we report on an ecological rehabilitation project… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1616-9
Abstract: Studying macroarthropod community responses to different land uses is particularly interesting in agroforestry for the conservation of Mediterranean landscapes, which need to be managed in terms of ecological and functional sustainability. Because of the sensitivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118300
Abstract: Abstract Boreal forests have been intensively managed, influencing the spatiotemporal occurrence of dead wood, and leading to changes in saproxylic species assemblages. Some particular traits, such as habitat specialization, can be expected to make species… read more here.

Ant and tenebrionid beetle assemblages in arid lands: Their associations with vegetation types in the Patagonian steppe

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2016.12.002
Abstract: Abstract Arid environments have long been perceived as simple and homogeneous ecosystems, but slight differences in precipitation, topography and soil attributes result in a variety of distinct plant associations. The availability of different vegetation types… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/0001-3765201820160853
Abstract: Deforestation affects freshwater assemblages since aquatic organisms are dependent on the structure of the riparian vegetation. To investigate the responses of riffle beetles (Elmidae) to deforestation, this study assessed the structure of riffle beetle assemblages… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1044.65776
Abstract: Epigaeic beetle assemblages were surveyed using continuous pitfall trapping during the summers of 1992 and 1993 in six widely geographically distributed locations in Alberta's aspen-mixedwood forests prior to initial forest harvest. Species composition and turnover… read more here.

Mechanisms of diversity maintenance in dung beetle assemblages in a heterogeneous tropical landscape
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.9860
Abstract: Background Anthropized landscapes play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, as they encompass about 90% of the remaining tropical forest. Effective conservation strategies require a deep understanding of how anthropic disturbances determine diversity patterns across… read more here.
