The use of microalgae is nowadays recognized to be an efficient and eco-friendly strategy
for the removal of contaminants from wastewater. Thanks to their versatility, these …

It has been increasingly recognized that the type of matrix surrounding habitat patches can
affect biodiversity in landscapes, but there were only qualitative reviews of the subject …

I challenge (1) the assumption that habitat patches are natural units of measurement for
species richness, and (2) the assumption of distinct effects of habitat patch size and isolation …

How does nature work in our human-created city, suburb, and exurb/peri-urb? Indeed how is
ecology-including its urban water, soil, air, plant, and animal foundations-spatially entwined …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 101–112 Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes can be
increased with conversion of some production lands into 'more‐natural'–unmanaged or …

Urbanization leads to the biotic homogenization of global avifauna. We hypothesized that
urbanization acts as a filter on species traits and, therefore, that urban passerines share …

It is important to understand the relative effects of landscape habitat loss, habitat
fragmentation, and matrix quality on biodiversity, so that potential management options can …

Urbanization is a major contributor to biodiversity declines. However, studies assessing
effects of urban landscapes per se (ie, disentangled from focal habitat effects) on biodiversity …

To evaluate the importance of urban woodlands to serve as potential sites for biodiversity
conservation, we analysed bird, carabid beetle and small mammal community responses to …

Multi-scale studies ostensibly allow us to form generalizations regarding the importance of
scale in understanding ecosystem function, and in the application of the same ecological …
