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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118394
Abstract: Among the most prevalent sources of biodiversity declines, Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) is an emerging threat to global biodiversity. Much knowledge has already been gained to reduce impacts. However, the spatial variation of ALAN… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2017.09.009
Abstract: Abstract Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) cause animal suffering, traffic safety problems and socioeconomic costs and must be assessed in landscape planning and road management. We investigated whether landscape composition and configuration across spatial scales could predict… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00385-5
Abstract: Fragmented natural habitats within human-transformed landscapes play a key role in preserving biodiversity. Ants as keystone species are essential elements of terrestrial ecosystems; thus, it is important to understand the factors influencing their presence. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac057
Abstract: Abstract It is widely recognized that both local and landscape-scale factors can be important drivers of crop pests, natural enemies, and biocontrol services. However, recent syntheses have found that landscape effects are inconsistent across study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13970
Abstract: Despite the general recognition that fragmentation can reduce forest biomass through edge effects, a systematic review of the literature does not reveal a clear role of edges in modulating biomass loss. Additionally, the edge effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jen.12934
Abstract: Olive groves constitute a landscape that covers a large area in the Mediterranean basin, with essential economic importance, but which can also have environmental importance if an olive grove landscape is designed that favours populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15086
Abstract: Inferring the processes underlying spatial patterns of genomic variation is fundamental to understand how organisms interact with landscape heterogeneity and to identify the factors determining species distributional shifts. Here, we use genomic data (restriction site‐associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/land9050145
Abstract: Measuring, monitoring, and managing biodiversity across agricultural regions depends on methods that can combine high-resolution mapping of landscape patterns with local biodiversity observations. This study explores the potential to monitor biodiversity in agricultural landscapes by… read more here.
