Abstract:
... This article introduces the biodiversity survey “Our Planet Reviewed” in the south of French Guiana organized in February–March and August 2015. It has enabled more than 50 scientists to inventory the following groups: Actinopterygii, Amphibia, Annelida, Arachnida, Insecta, Mollusca and Squamata, with a particular effort on diverse and little-known orders, such as Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera an ...

Abstract:
... Disturbance in habitat complexity and niche availability affect competitive interactions between faunal species which may result in their extinction. This study was conducted to assess the conservation value of four a priori selected sites, A: ‘minimally disturbed natural forest patch’, B: ‘herbaceous grassland patch’, C: ‘road verge patch’ and D: ‘highly disturbed natural forest patch’ using epig ...

Abstract:
... For conservation purposes, it is important to understand the forces that shape biodiversity in transitional waters (TWs) and to evaluate the effects of small-scale latitudinal changes. To this end, we analysed data on soft-sediment macroinvertebrates from nine Italian TWs in order to (1) investigate the structure and distribution of the benthic fauna and their relationships with environmental and ...
