Variability in bat morphology is influenced by temperature and forest cover and their interactions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9695
Abstract: Abstract Multiple climatic and landscape drivers have been linked to variations in bat body size and wing functional traits. Most previous studies used proxies rather than actual climate and land‐use data, and their interactions are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joc.4886
Abstract: During the last decades, several climate-modelling studies have forecasted a decrease in precipitation in Southern Amazonia, projecting scenarios of a drier Amazon for the future in relation with deforestation (or forest cover). In this area,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-021-01484-9
Abstract: Watershed land cover affects in-stream water quality and sediment nutrient dynamics. The presence of natural land cover in the riparian zone can reduce the negative effects of agricultural land use on water quality; however, literature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10113-016-1090-4
Abstract: Understanding drivers of forest-cover change is essential for a broad range of ecosystem properties. In this work, we assessed changes in forest cover using physical, climatic and socio-economic drivers, including forest neighbourhood effects representing spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-019-7450-z
Abstract: Rapid population and economic growth quickly degrade and deplete forest resources in many developing countries, even within protected areas. Monitoring forest cover change is critical for assessing ecosystem changes and targeting conservation efforts. Yet the… read more here.

Effects of forest cover pattern on water quality of low-order streams in an agricultural landscape in the Pirapora river basin, Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Environmental Monitoring and Assessment"
DOI: 10.1007/s10661-022-09854-4
Abstract: Low-order streams are important places for river formation and are highly vulnerable to changes in terrestrial ecosystems. Thus, the land-use/land-cover plays an important role in the maintenance of water quality. However, only land-use/land-cover composition may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01040-6
Abstract: Context The role of protected areas as biodiversity repositories has become increasingly important in face of increased deforestation. By adding free-living exotic mammals, removing forest-dependent native ones, isolating forest patches from large protected areas and… read more here.
