DOI: 10.1186/s13717-018-0146-4
Abstract: BackgroundThis paper presents several spatial indicators developed to evaluate anthropogenic impacts on predator-prey interactions and their relationship with ecological integrity loss in Mexico. Ecological integrity loss is defined as the inability to sustain viable populations,… read more here.
