DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027066
Abstract: The Amazon basin has experienced periodic droughts in the past, and intense and frequent droughts are predicted in the future. Landscape heterogeneity could play an important role in how tropical forests respond to drought by… read more here.

Abstract: Animal space use is influenced by many factors and can affect individual survival and fitness. Under optimal foraging theory, individuals use landscapes to optimize high-quality resources while minimizing the amount of energy used to acquire… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-24877-0
Abstract: Habitat fragmentation and eutrophication have strong impacts on biodiversity. Metacommunity research demonstrated that reduction in landscape connectivity may cause biodiversity loss in fragmented landscapes. Food-web research addressed how eutrophication can cause local biodiversity declines. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12342
Abstract: Agricultural intensification affects negatively on landscape heterogeneity, biodiversity, biotic interactions and the associated ecological functions. Here, we describe the structure of herbivore–parasitoid interactions by analysing the rates of parasitism and their variability in relation to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13717-020-00261-6
Abstract: Background How landscape modifications affect functional diversity of floral characteristics pertinent to pollinators is poorly known. Flowers possess functional traits that sometimes coevolved with pollinators, crucial for the maintenance of both pollinator and plant communities.… read more here.

Landscape heterogeneity affects diurnal raptor communities in a sub-tropical region of northwestern Himalayas, India

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0246555
Abstract: Raptors are highly sensitive to environmental and human-induced changes. In addition, several species of raptors exist in considerably small numbers. It is thus critical to conserve raptors and their habitats across relatively larger landscapes. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192114302
Abstract: In highly fragmented urban areas, plant diversity of remnant vegetation may depend not only on community structure and topographical factors, but also on landscape heterogeneity. Different buffer radius settings can affect the relative importance of… read more here.
