DOI: 10.1007/s00572-018-0822-3
Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities vary across habitat types, as well as across different land use types. Most relevant research, however, has focused on agricultural or other severely human-impacted ecosystems. Here, we compared AM fungal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01860-2
Abstract: Maintaining species turnover across habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation. Thus, identifying drivers of community variation is important for conservation strategies. Here, we examine spider community variation along a Mediterranean climatic gradient in Greece, characterised… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.09.024
Abstract: Abstract Natura 2000, the largest protected area network worldwide, covers 18.2% of the European Union's terrestrial area. Thereby, the network surpasses the goal of the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi target 11 to protect 17%… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.02.001
Abstract: Abstract To halt the loss of biodiversity in natural habitats, the EU passed the Habitats Directive and established the Natura 2000 network. The network captured forest habitats and habitat types, whose conservation status must be… read more here.

Sampling understory birds in different habitat types using point counts and camera traps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecological Indicators"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106863
Abstract: Abstract Point counts are widely used to assess bird diversity. However, this method has some limitations and can be affected by observer bias. For this reason, it is commonly complemented with other methods (e.g., mist-nets,… read more here.

Additive effects of connectivity provided by different habitat types drive plant assembly
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-50184-2
Abstract: How connectivity affects plant assemblages is a central issue in landscape ecology. So far, empirical studies have produced contradictory results, possibly because studies: (1) inaccurately assess connectivity by prioritizing the respective effect of the type… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.21.481383
Abstract: Arthropod predators are important for ecosystem functioning by providing top-down regulation of insect herbivores. As predator communities and activity are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors on different spatial scales, the strength of top-down regulation… read more here.
