A major focus of geographical ecology and macroecology is to understand the causes of
spatially structured ecological patterns. However, achieving this understanding can be …

The species–area relationship (SAR) gives a quantitative description of the increasing
number of species in a community with increasing area of habitat. In conservation, SARs have …

Human settlements have a strong influence on bird communities. To explore the size effect
of the urbanized area in avian community structure, we examined changes in species …

Edge effect is a key process influencing populations and communities, particularly in fragmented
landscapes. A general analytical framework has been proposed to quantify the strength …

I reviewed the literature on the trophic ecology of the Barn Owl (Tyt0 alba) in 40 areas of
Argentina representing seven vegetation types in the species' range. Mammals (rodents, …

The suitability of human‐modified habitats for native species and the response of species to
habitat edges are two important ecological processes that affect species and communities in …

Studies dealing with community similarity are necessary to understand large scale ecological
processes causing biodiversity loss and to improve landscape and regional planning. Here…

Background Although the species-urban green area relationship (SARu) has been analyzed
worldwide, the global consistency of its parameters, such as the fit and the slope of models, …

Wooded streets diminish the negative consequences of urban growth on biodiversity. However,
bird use of wooded streets has been little studied, in most cases analyzing bird species …

Biodiversity mapping in urban areas is imperative for their conservation. Remote sensors
produce environmental information, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI…
