Background The consequences of land use changes are among the most cited causes of
emerging infectious diseases because they can modify the ecology and transmission of …

In the deep ocean symbioses between microbes and invertebrates are emerging as key
drivers of ecosystem health and services. We present a large-scale analysis of microbial …

Small mammals have been seldom used as indicators of biodiversity responses to
environmental changes, probably because their long-term population trend in a given area …

The breeding performance of predators is influenced by the differential consequences of
prey density, prey biomass and effective consumption rates. Using camera traps at nests, we …

Stochasticity in food availability influences vital rates such as survival and fertility. Life-
history theory predicts that in long-lived organisms, survival should be buffered against …

Biodiversity monitoring programs have been implemented worldwide as a source of
information on ecosystem functioning. However, controversy concerning the indicators that …

The land transformation of traditional agro-mosaics into progressively more anthropized
