Abstract:
... We present novel data on breeding ecology and nest survival of the Cinereous (Circus cinereus) and Long-winged (C. buffoni) Harriers in modified grasslands of southern Argentina and we evaluate variations in daily nest survival rates (DSR) in relation to temporal and habitat variables. We studied three mixed nesting colonies embedded in agricultural landscapes along a road. We found that DSR decre ...

Ursus arctos; abnormal behavior; agricultural land; carnivores; ecological traps; human settlements; humans; landscapes; roads; traps; viability; wildlife management
Abstract:
... Evolutionary traps, and their derivative, ecological traps, occur when animals make maladaptive decisions based on seemingly reliable environmental cues, and are important mechanistic explanations for declines in animal populations. Despite the interest in large carnivore conservation in human‐modified landscapes, the emergence of traps and their potential effects on the conservation of large carn ...

Abstract:
... Organochlorine pesticides are used in agricultural areas and health campaigns, which reach the coastal environment through rivers, drains, runoffs, and atmospheric transport. In aquatic environments, they are adsorbed by particles of organic matter, depositing themselves in sediments in the bottom of these bodies, in which benthic organisms of commercial interest for human consumption inhabit. The ...

Abstract:
... Biobed systems are an important option to control point pollution in agricultural areas. Substrates used and microbial diversity present in a biomixture perform an essential function in pesticide dissipation. In this study, the effects of soil (50% of volume/volume [V/V] proportion for all biomixtures) and four soil-based biomixtures (miniaturized biobeds; addition of novel substrates from southea ...

Main objectives of this study were (a) to assess wetlands contribution to regulation of surface water quality of riverine wetlands in agricultural landscapes through their nutrient removal efficiency (RE), (b) to understand how RE of wetlands is related to hydrological, morphological, chemical and biological attributes, and (c) to identify RE indicators suitable for remote RE assessment. Macrophyt ...

Abstract:
... Land is an essential resource and plays a vital role in providing food and food security, water, ecosystem services and territorial resilience. However, the past few decades have generated enormous and increasingly unsustainable pressures on land use. The objective of this research is to analyse the main land use changes in Spain between 1987 and 2011 using data provided by the Corine Land Cover ( ...

Abstract:
... Several studies estimating the effects of global environmental change on biodiversity are focused on climate change. Yet, non-climatic factors such as changes in land cover can also be of paramount importance. This may be particularly important for habitat specialists associated with human-dominated landscapes, where land cover and climate changes may be largely decoupled. Here, we tested this ide ...

Abstract:
... As most of Europe’s metropolitan landscapes grow, a change is occurring in their surrounding rural environment. The consequences thereof mainly involve losses of traditional land uses and changes in the socioecomic structures of the local population. The lack of coupling ‘urban society-countryside’ can be considered to constitute a driving force of this process. The present paper focuses upon the ...

Abstract:
... In intensive agricultural landscapes, decreased pollinator numbers have often been attributed to the loss of natural habitats. However, several studies show that certain mass flowering crops, such as oilseed rape (OSR), can alter the pattern of pollinator abundance at a field and landscape level. These studies have focused mainly on bees; information about the effect of OSR crops on other taxa is ...

Abstract:
... The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a strong and widely used proxy for bird species richness in urban environments. However, its potential to predict composition and seasonal dynamics of bird communities in urban areas remains unexplored. Our main objective was to analyze the power of NDVI to predict the seasonal dynamics of bird communities along urbanization gradients. Birds wer ...
