Where are we now with European forest multi-taxon biodiversity and where can we...
Burrascano, Sabina; Chianucci, Francesco; Trentanovi, Giovanni; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Sitzia, Tommaso; Tinya, Flóra; Doerfler, Inken; Paillet, YoanThe European biodiversity and forest strategies rely on forest sustainable management (SFM) to conserve forest biodiversity. However, current sustainability assessments hardly account for direct biodiversity indicators. We focused on forest multi-taxon biodiversity to: i) gather and map the existing information; ii) identify knowledge and research gaps; iii) discuss its research potential. We established a rese...
BIOFRAG - a new database for analyzing BIOdiversity responses to forest FRAGmen...
Pfeifer, Marion; Lefebvre, Véronique; Gardner, Toby Alan; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Baeten, Lander; Banks-Leite, Cristina; Barlow, JosHabitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in a consistent and flexible database permits s...
Effect of maternal foraging and breeding strategies on offspring quality in the...
Santos, Cátia; Monteiro, Marta; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Loureiro, Susana; Larsen, Tom; Blondel, Léa; De Neve, Liesbeth; Lens, LucThe Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) is a seabird species with a high individual variation in foraging strategies and an ability to thrive in urban landscapes. As gulls become increasingly dependent on humanactivities - and food resources - they also increase susceptibility of exposure to toxic substances through ingestion of contaminated food. This can reduce individual survival and impair reproductive ...
