Coastal erosion is occurring at a faster rate than in the past. The adverse impacts are not
negligible at environmental, economic, and socio-cultural levels. Hence, coastal protection …

Urbanization is leading to biodiversity loss through habitat homogenization. The smooth,
featureless surfaces of many marine urban structures support ecological communities, often …

Temperate grasslands are part of one of the biggest biomes on earth, sustaining high levels
of biodiversity and providing multiple ecosystem services. However, the area covered by this …

The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that biodiversity increases with increasing
habitat heterogeneity due to greater niche dimensionality. However, recent studies have …

Aim Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the
patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally …

Terrestrial Li DAR (light detection and ranging) technologies have created new means of
quantifying forest canopy structure, allowing not only the estimation of biomass, but also …

The decline of arthropod populations observed in many parts of the world is a major
component of the sixth mass extinction with intensive agriculture being one of its main …

Disturbances induce changes on habitat proprieties that may filter organism's functional
traits thereby shaping the structure and interactions of many trophic levels. We tested if …

Patches of riparian woody vegetation potentially help mitigate environmental impacts of
agriculture and safeguard biodiversity. We investigated the effects of riparian forest on …

Aim The main aims were to determine:(a) the relative contribution of species replacement
and richness difference from components to overall taxonomic (TDβ) and functional (FDβ) …
