Ants are widely distributed in both tropics and temperate regions at different altitudes. They
are both scavengers and predators, and serve as indicators of climate change at micro and …

The main effects of habitat loss and fragmentation have been addressed through changes in
diversity patterns at different spatial levels. Species richness and diversity are the most used …

Mountains contain steep but constricted climate gradients that can provide climate warming
refugia often overlooked in coarse-scale models of species migrations. With continued …

Landscape context and contrast are major features of transformed landscapes. These
concepts are largely described in terms of vegetation and land use, and are rarely used on …

Defining biodiversity conservation goals requires representative and reliable data. However,
data collected with the use of different methods can lead to divergent conclusions …

Karst landscapes are among the topographically most complex systems with various
microhabitats, where species can persist despite unfavourable macro-environmental …

The understanding and prediction of species distributions have been advanced by the
development of community assembly theories and functional trait‐based approaches …

Clear-cutting, the main method of harvesting in many forests in the world, causes a series of
dramatic environmental changes to the forest habitat and removes habitat resources for …

Landscape changes in tropical environments result in long-lasting and complex changes in
biodiversity that involve several biological responses (eg, loss of species diversity and …

Selection of proper sampling methods for measuring a community of interest is essential
whether the study goals are to conduct a species inventory, environmental monitoring, or a …
