Based on principles of the conservation and optimization of biodiversity and of equity and
sustainability, this book focuses on the ecology of the coffee agroecosystem as a model for a …

Agriculture is one of the dominant types of soil use throughout the world, and understanding
patterns of species distributions across agroecosystems is a significant challenge for the …

The global demand for biofuels in the transport sector may lead to significant biodiversity
impacts via multiple human pressures. Biodiversity assessments of biofuels, however …

Purpose Change of vegetation cover and increased land use intensity, particularly for
agricultural use, can affect species richness. Within life cycle impact assessment, methods to …

Understanding how land-use change affects biodiversity is a fundamental step to develop
effective conservation strategies in human-modified tropical landscapes. Here, we analyzed …

Simple Summary Public involvement in biodiversity research in the form of Citizen Science
is a powerful tool to improve our understanding of the natural world, and it is especially …

It has been suggested that the composition of different non-crop land-use types along with
tree density regulate local biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. However, specific data is …

Aim We investigate the dynamics of ant biodiversity patterns and community structure from
the Eocene until the present. Our goal is to empirically test hypotheses regarding the …

Although biological conservation has traditionally focused on the protection of pristine areas,
it is becoming increasingly evident that efforts should also be made toward the maintenance …

Agricultural intensification is one of the major drivers behind biodiversity loss in
Mediterranean agroecosystems. The intensification of olive groves as monoculture in large …
