Rapid recovery of a depleted population of Little Bustards Tetrax tetrax following provision of alfalfa through an agri‐environment scheme
The Little Bustard has undergone a steep reduction of its Western Palaearctic range over the
last century. In the west of France, breeding populations declined by 96% from 1978 to 2008 …

Sexual differences in microhabitat selection of breeding little bustards Tetrax tetrax: ecological segregation based on vegetation structure
We examined sexual differences in patterns of vegetation structure selection in the sexually
dimorphic little bustard. Differences in vegetation structure between male, female and non …

Seasonal variation of arthropod diversity in agroforestry systems in the humid tropics of Mexico
Agroforestry systems in the tropics exhibit high heterogeneity in plant species composition
and structural configuration. However, few studies evaluated the seasonal shift in arthropod …

Maximum entropy niche-based modelling of seasonal changes in little bustard (Tetrax tetrax) distribution
The effects of habitat fragmentation on species may change seasonally mainly due to
variations in resource availability and biotic interactions. In critical periods, such as winter …

Comparative assessment of satellite‐and drone‐based vegetation indices to predict arthropod biomass in shrub‐steppes
Arthropod biomass is a key element in ecosystem functionality and a basic food item for
many species. It must be estimated through traditional costly field sampling, normally at just …

Threats affecting little bustards: human impacts
Over the last two decades, monitoring of and research into the little bustard was carried out
mainly in western Europe, and has enabled the identification of important threats to the …

[HTML][HTML] Crops modify habitat quality beyond their limits
Edge effect is a strong driver of change in fragmented landscapes. In the last few decades,
agricultural land-use intensity at field scale has increased and, consequently, the edges …

Landscape-scale effects of irrigation on a dry cereal farmland bird community
Landscape modification and habitat fragmentation are one of the major current threats to
biodiversity. The main source of habitat fragmentation is the loss of focal habitat area, but …

Ground greening in vineyards promotes the Woodlark Lullula arborea and their invertebrate prey
Vineyards are intensively managed monocultures, constituting homogeneously cultivated
landscapes. They often have a mineral appearance, not only because they occur mostly in …
