Delhi, one of the fastest-urbanising megacities in the Global South, has undergone severe fragmentation of blue-green spaces (BGS) over three decades, driving deterioration of urban ecosystem health through impervious-su...

This study assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. We surveyed 25 wetlands categorized into two management states and var...

Nest survival is an important part of breeding success in grassland ecosystems, and the location of nests can determine vulnerability to different predators. We conducted an experiment with artificial nests to evaluate j...

The Paraná River floodplain comprises one of the largest wetland systems of South America. In a sector of the Lower Paraná River floodplain (100km length, 3650km2), floristic composition and species diversity was chara...

Agricultural expansion threatens biodiversity due to habitat loss and fragmentation. In the Gran Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot, rampant cropland and pasture expansion raise concerns about the sustainability of th...

Este artigo busca analisar a prática ritual como materialização de projetos políticos. No caso da necrópole de Amarna, esse projeto estava associado às reformas de Akhenaton e à ideia de purificação. No caso de ...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

Environmental design professions, such as landscape architecture and urban design, ultimately make statements about how humans live in the world. To reflect more deeply on how we live and therefore how we design, this ar...

Studies carried out for sustainable and low carbon emission rural area design and planning are important in minimising the effects of climate change and protecting the ecology. Especially in rural areas, the choice of lo...

Habitat loss is one of the main factors reducing wildlife diversity and restricting its conservation. Habitat suitability models are important tools for wildlife management and conservation in order to evaluate the impac...

In extra-Andean Patagonia, wet meadows contrast with the prevailing arid steppes, and present a gradient of water availability from the periphery to the center. The objectives of this paper are to describe the spatial an...

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...

ABSTRACT Shade-tolerant forest species are among the most susceptible to habitat loss in agricultural mosaics, where a variety of croplands is connected to forests at different levels of anthropogenic disturbance. We aim...

Present land-use forms, such as former coal mines turned into lakes, solar parks, wind farms, mixed/test forests and biological (organic) agriculture, cater more for ‘human wellbeing’ or building sustainable economie...

O entendimento das mudanças em paisagens amazônicas depende de documentação das alterações na cobertura da terra. Este artigo parte de resultados do Experimento de Larga Escala de Biosfera-Atmosfera na Amazônia (L...

Blended and flipped classroom pedagogical models are recognised as having the potential to deepen and enrich student learning while also being a more engaging learning experience (Partridge, Ponting, & McCay, 2011). E-le...

Abstract Glacier retreat transforms landscapes in polar and mountainous regions. Yet, the topography of the emerging terrain remains poorly known. Here, we present a physically consistent, global map of the ice-covered t...

Richness and diversity of parasites depend on a set of interrelated factors related to the characteristics of the host, the environment and the parasites itself. In the City of Buenos Aires, rodent communities vary accor...

Conservar los valores patrimoniales y paisajísticos en la centralidad histórica contempla numerosos desafíos, desde su baja densidad poblacional, mercantilización, hasta la deficiencia en la aplicación de normativas...

ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation are important anthropogenic drivers of changes in biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest, and has reached its highest rate in recent decades. However, the ma...

En este trabajo se sintetizan y discuten los avances recientes en el estudio de los paisajes culturales del formativo tardío en la Quebrada del Toro (Salta, Argentina). La información presentada procede de contextos fu...

Los anfibios son representantes típicos y conspicuos de los ecosistemas de humedales neotropicales, tales como los Esteros del Iberá, su preservación está en íntima relación con la conservación de la biodiversidad...

The Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains are a unique European region. In the Carpathians there are more than half of the species of the flora and fauna of Ukraine. Rapid rivers, shoeless meadows, silvery waterfalls, and the i...
