habitats,   etc   ; evolution; reproduction; wildlife;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Destruction of natural habitats for tree plantations is a major threat to wildlife. These novel environments elicit behavioural changes that can either be detrimental or beneficial to survival and reproduction, with population—and community—level consequences. However, compared to well documented changes following other forms of habitat modification, we know little about wildlife behavioural respo ...

Abstract:
... Habitat banking in its many iterations is an established and popular mechanism to deliver environmental offsets. The United States can look back at over 30 years of banking experience with the underlying framework and policies being consistently updated and improved. Given the increased demand in habitat banking, we provide insights into how bank area capacity is distributed across the United Stat ...

Abstract:
... Accurate and precise monitoring of the absolute density (i.e., number of fish per area or volume unit) of exploited fish stocks would be strongly advisable for deriving stock status and for designing proper management plans. Moreover, monitoring should be achieved at relevant (i.e., sufficiently large) temporal and spatial scales. This objective is particularly challenging for data-poor fisheries, ...

Hispaniola shows the highest environmental heterogeneity among the Greater Antilles mainly due to its complex land relief, encompassing a high ecosystemic heterogeineity, and bats as one o the most representative group of vertebrates. However, the island remains the least studied in the greater Antilles. In this work, we present a first comprehensive approach to the distribution of chiropterans of ...
