Nanoparticles represent highly promising platforms for the development of imaging and
therapeutic agents, including those that can either be detected via more than one imaging …

… In particular, avian predation on the gypsy moth L. dispar has been extensively studied and
birds were responsible of variable but significant predation of moth egg masses (up to 71% …

Forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and they are also essential for the provision of a
wide range of ecosystem services that are important to human well-being. There is increasing …

Many experiments have shown that local biodiversity loss impairs the ability of ecosystems to
maintain multiple ecosystem functions at high levels (multifunctionality). In contrast, the role …

There is considerable evidence that biodiversity promotes multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality),
thus ensuring the delivery of ecosystem services important for human well-…

Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local
processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological …

One of the current advances in functional biodiversity research is the move away from short-lived
test systems towards the exploration of diversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in …

The goal of the present study is to assess how landscape configuration influenced the
distribution of life‐history traits across bird, carabid beetle and butterfly communities of mosaic …

Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A
prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher latitudes …

Plant diversity is an important driver of diversity at other trophic levels, suggesting that cascading
extinctions could reduce overall biodiversity. Most evidence for positive effects of plant …
