Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic
environments. These plants provide physical structure, increase habitat complexity and …

The area of habitat patches is a significant factor when determining species‐richness in any
given habitat. However, this area effect is not the same for every taxonomic group and can …

Wetland restoration is increasingly important to reverse habitat degradation, recover
ecosystem services, and maintain biodiversity. To aid project design, more information is …

Tropical coastal lagoons are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth due to
multiple factors. The loss and degradation of coastal lagoons can adversely affect …

The spatial environmental heterogeneity (EH) has been invoked as an important factor to
explain biodiversity. It is expected that higher spatial EH provides a wider range of resources …

Natural wetlands are at the cutting edge of protection concerns, as they harbor a greater
range of waterbird assemblages than artificial wetlands. However, more than 50.0% of …

Shorebirds are declining worldwide due to loss and degradation of critical breeding and
wintering habitats. Some human-modified habitats, particularly salt-pans which are used by …

Context With the expansion in urbanization, understanding how biodiversity responds to the
altered landscape becomes a major concern. Most studies focus on habitat effects on …

The hydrological regime in wetlands plays an important role in the process of wintering
waterbird metacommunity assemblage. However, increasing frequency of extreme climate …

Waterbird‐mediated endozoochory is an essential mechanism for the dispersal of sessile
organisms in freshwater ecosystems. However, in the neotropics there are no previous …
