Experimental field exclosure of birds and bats in agricultural systems — Methodological insights, potential improvements, and cost-benefit trade-offs
(ELSEVIER, 2019)
Experimental exclosure of birds and bats constitutes a powerful tool to study the impacts of wildlife on pests and crop yields in agricultural systems. Though widely utilized, exclosure experiments are not standardized ...
Influence of topographic and edaphic factors on vulnerability to soil degradation due to cattle grazing in humid tropical mountains in northern Honduras
(2015-01-22)
Low altitude humid tropical mountains in Central America have experienced a process of livestock expansion during recent decades. However, the use of sloping areas for cattle grazingmay lead to significant soil degradation
and ...
Extinction filters mediate the global effects of habitat fragmentation on animals
(Science, 2019)
Habitat loss is the primary driver of biodiversity decline worldwide, but the effects of fragmentation (the spatial
arrangement of remaining habitat) are debated. We tested the hypothesis that forest fragmentation ...
Los agroecosistemas cafetaleros modernos y su relación con la conservación de mariposas en paisajes fragmentados
(2018)
Land use change by the intensification of agriculture contributes to tropical forest fragmentation
and biodiversity loss. In this sense, in comparison with traditional agroforestry systems (AFS), modern
AFS are considered ...
Drivers of tropical rainforest composition and alpha diversity patterns over a 2,520 m altitudinal gradient
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019)
Agricultural intensification alters bat assemblage composition and abundance in a dynamic Neotropical landscape
(2016)
The recent trend of agricultural intensification in tropical landscapes poses a new threat to biodiversity conservation. Conversion of previously heterogeneous agricultural landscapes to intensive plantation agriculture ...
Sea Level Rise and Implications for Low Lying Islands, Coasts and Communities
(The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2019-06-14)
Deforestation processes in the livestock territory of La Vía Láctea, Matagalpa, Nicaragua
(2019)
Land-use change is considered one of the main causes of environmental
degradation. Thus, its analysis will allow stakeholders to make reasonable
decisions for land management. The objective of the present study was ...
