DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04009-w
Abstract: AimsIt has been well demonstrated that several interacting endogenous and exogenous factors influence decomposition. However, teasing apart the direct and indirect effects of these factors to predict decomposition patterns in heterogenous landscapes remains a key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.07.023
Abstract: Abstract The worldwide expansion of road networks is a major concern in biological conservation because of its predominantly negative effects on terrestrial fauna. Roads also affect bats, acting as barriers to movements and causing direct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.08.054
Abstract: Field margins are key features for the maintenance of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. Little is known about the effects of management practices of old semi-natural field margins, and their historical dimension… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/691436
Abstract: A case study from western New South Wales, Australia, illustrates the age, preservation, and distribution of late Holocene heat-retainer hearths that are abundant in the semiarid archaeological record in the region. These hearths were constructed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.1102
Abstract: In the face of global biodiversity declines driven by agricultural intensification, local diversification practices are broadly promoted to support farmland biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. The creation of flower-rich habitats on farmland has been subsidized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12658
Abstract: Aim The biodiversity value of scattered trees in modified landscapes is often overlooked in planning and conservation decisions. We conducted a multitaxa study to determine how wildlife abundance, species richness and community composition at individual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.12857
Abstract: Summary The metacommunity framework has shed light upon the significance of local and regional processes in shaping ecological communities. However, our knowledge is limited how landscape context (i.e. type and positioning of habitats) influences the… read more here.
