IntroductionA population’s demographic “type” is characterized by the shape of its age distribution. This structure provides insights into its behavioral ecology, such as how elderly individuals contribute to the s...

A rising human impact alters landscape patterns and determines the agriculture–ecology–economy nexus (AEEN), which further threatens the sustainability of social–ecological system (SES). However, the mechanisms thr...

Abstract Obtaining accurate population measures of endangered species is critical for effective conservation and management actions and to evaluate their success over time. However, determining the population size and de...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Abstract Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colonies can be detected from space using very high‐resolution (VHR; 0.3–0.6 m resolution) satellite imagery, as the contrast between their guano and the surrounding te...

The article presents a concise biography of the outstanding botanist and educator, Professor Alexey Aleksandrovich Uranov, founder of the scientific school of plant population biology. Memoirs of A. A. Uranov’s student...

Understanding the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the local communities towards the target species before implementing any awareness-based programmes is essential for the success and long-term protection of the s...

Abstract Mitochondrial genomes of some animals remained almost unchanged architecturally for over half a billion of years, while other lineages exhibit conspecific variability. The drivers underlying this disparity remai...

Abstract The ability to assess and utilise the length of the daily light period has been identified as a key component of the physiological ecology regulating metabolism and reproduction across various vertebrate taxa. W...

Traditionally, the social effect of banking activity is associated with microfinance. This stream line is started from the 70th of the XX century, when microfinance became the tool of the private entrepreneurship develop...

Abstract Intertidal macrobenthos are vital bioindicators of coastal ecosystem health due to their ecological roles, limited mobility, and sensitivity to environmental disturbances. However, traditional field‐based moni...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...

Abstract Motion‐activated cameras (‘camera‐traps’) have become indispensable for wildlife monitoring. Data from camera‐trap surveys can be used to make inferences about animal behaviour, space use and populatio...

The Tsaghkunyats Mountain of Armenia (26,354 ha) doesn’t have a legally protected status and requires evaluation as a potential Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) and Prime Butterfly Area (PBA). Recent surveys ...

In studies on the reproduction and germination of species with indehiscent fruits containing a single seed, it is often assumed that all fruits that reach maturity contain a seed capable of generating a new plant. This i...

Urban areas are very dynamic places that are changing rapidly due to population growth and urbanization.This study aimed to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of UGS under land use/land cover change (LULCC) from 1991 to...

Abstract Several ground‐nesting wader species rely on Baltic coastal meadows for breeding. Drastic reduction in the area of the habitat at the end of the 20th century has been followed by habitat restoration activities...
