Disentangling the seasonal effects of agricultural intensification on birds and...
Jiménez-Navarro, Gerardo; Rodríguez-Pérez, Javier; Melguizo-Ruiz, Nereida; Silva, Bruno; Vasconcelos, Sasha; Beja, Pedro; Moreira, FranciscoAssessing the spatio-temporal impact of agricultural intensification on species and communities is key for biodiversity conservation. Here, we investigated the seasonal effects of olive grove intensification at both local (farming practices and grove structural complexity) and landscape scale (land-cover diversity) on birds and bats, at species and community-level. Both groups were surveyed during spring, summe...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Structural simplification compromises the potential of common insectivorous bat...
Costa, Ana; Silva, Bruno; Jiménez-Navarro, Gerardo; Barreiro, Silvia; Melguizo-Ruiz, Nereida; Rodríguez-Pérez, Javier; Vasconcelos, Sasha; Beja, PedroCrop production intensification often leads to the structural simplification of production systems. This structural simplification is expected to have strong impacts on biodiversity and the provisioning of ecosystem services, but information about this topic is scarce. For instance, no information exists for Mediterranean olive (Olea europaea) groves, despite olive farming representing a significant share of th...
A food web approach reveals the vulnerability of biocontrol services by birds a...
Herrera, José M.; Silva, Bruno; Jiménez-Navarro, Gerardo; Barreiro, Silvia; Melguizo-Ruiz, Nereida; Moreira, Francisco; Vasconcelos, Sasha; Morgado, RuiPest control services provided by naturally occurring species (the so-called biocontrol services) are widely recognized to provide key incentives for biodiversity conservation. This is particularly relevant for vertebrate-mediated biocontrol services as many vertebrate species are of conservation concern, with most of their decline associated to landscape modification for agricultural purposes. Yet, we still la...
Ibagreco2018: I Reunión Ibérica sobre Investigaciones Agroecológicas
Herrera, J.M.; Barreiro, Silvia; Melguizo-Ruiz, Nereida; Ribera, Vanesa; Silva, Bruno; Jiménez-Navarro, Gerardo; Rodríguez-Pérez, JavierEn respuesta al creciente interés entre la comunidad científica en la investigación agroecológica, el pasado año 2017 se creó agreco, el grupo de trabajo sobre Agroecología de la Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre. Con la creación de agreco, surgía inevitablemente la necesidad de generar un punto de encuentro donde investigadores y actores sociales pudiesen exponer y compartir sus trabajos científicos, a...
