The Earth?s freshwater ecosystems are currently under threat, particularly in developing countries. In Mexico, intensive land use and inadequate monitoring policies have resulted in the severe degradation of the country?s freshwater ecosystems. This stud...

Protected areas are referred to around the world as the basis of conservation strategies. Designation of marine protected areas (MPAs) is to preserve marine biodiversity and protect species, habitats in the seas, and oceans. The simulated annealing algor...

Habitat fragmentation (HF) is an ecological process, which is potentially also one of the main causes of diversity loss. Many studies have debated the best tools to adopt for assessing the effects of HF. The traditional application of biodiversity metric...

On a global scale, rangelands occupy approximately half of the world?s land base surface; have a critical role in carbon sequestration and biodiversity; and support a diverse and critical economy, but at the same time, are under threat by many factors, i...

Visual observations of the marine biodiversity can be difficult in specific areas for different reasons, including weather conditions or a lack of observers. In such conditions, passive acoustics represents a potential alternative approach. The objective...

Research Highlights: Excess N from atmospheric deposition has been shown to decrease plant biodiversity of impacted forests, especially in its effects on herbaceous layer communities. This work demonstrates that one of the mechanisms of such response is ...

Forest fragmentation may negatively impact fauna and flora. An important tool for the development and implementation of research on these effects is the use of a geographic information system (GIS). This paper aims to perform an integrated analysis of th...

Many stream restoration projects aim to increase geomorphic complexity, assuming that this increases habitat heterogeneity and, thus, biodiversity. However, empirical data supporting these linkages remain scant. Previous assessments of stream restoration...
