Land use type, forest cover and forest edges modulate avian cross‐habitat spillover
AL Boesing, E Nichols… - Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Natural habitats adjacent to agricultural areas are often considered sources of species that

Carabid beetles (Coleoptera) as indicators of sustainability in agroecosystems: a systematic review
The sustainability of agroecosystems is at risk owing to continuous anthropogenic
disturbance. As such, there is a need to evaluate indicator taxa that may be used to monitor …

Carabid activity‐density increases with forest vegetation diversity at different spatial scales
More diverse forests are generally more resistant to insect herbivores. This might be due to
positive effects of tree diversity on predation. Although the enemies hypothesis has received …
