DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70704
Abstract: ABSTRACT The growth of cities is one of the main direct and indirect factors responsible for the loss of native vegetation cover. Urbanization directly affects the biological communities inhabiting forest remnants inserted in cities, compromising… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71417
Abstract: ABSTRACT Predicting how changes in climate and land use jointly impact populations is a pressing task in ecology. Microclimate plays a key role in species' local persistence by modulating regional weather effects. However, empirical evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-019-00796-w
Abstract: ContextEffective landscape control of invasive species is context-dependent due to the interplay between the landscape structure, local population dynamics, and metapopulation processes. We use a modelling approach incorporating these three elements to explore the drivers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-019-00857-0
Abstract: Forest management and disturbances cause habitat fragmentation for saproxylic species living on old-growth attributes. The degree of habitat spatiotemporal continuity required by these species is a key question for designing biodiversity-friendly forestry, and it strongly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-019-00914-8
Abstract: Non-human primates are among the most threatened mammals on Earth. Although some species, such as howler monkeys, are thought to be resistant to initial phases of habitat disturbance, the lack of longitudinal studies prevents determining… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2018.05.019
Abstract: Abstract The availability of remote sensing images of various resolutions has enabled the incorporation of landscape structures in land-cover mapping. Despite the effectiveness of landscape metrics in quantifying landscape structures, they are inadequate in characterizing… read more here.

The macro-eco-evolutionary interplay between dispersal, competition and landscape structure in generating biodiversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2023.0140
Abstract: Theory links dispersal and diversity, predicting the highest diversity at intermediate dispersal levels. However, the modulation of this relationship by macro-eco-evolutionary mechanisms and competition within a landscape is still elusive. We examine the interplay between… read more here.
