The effects of winter recreation on alpine and subalpine fauna: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The ski industry is often perceived as having a negative impact on sensitive alpine and
subalpine communities. However, empirical evidence of such impacts is lacking. We …

Organic versus conventional systems in viticulture: Comparative effects on spiders and carabids in vineyards and adjacent forests
Farming systems and management regimes of vineyards may affect local biodiversity of
plants and invertebrates. While most studies have focused on the overall biodiversity of …

Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems
Open inland sand ecosystems harbour a specialised flora and fauna and are among the
most endangered habitats in Central Europe. Land-use changes and lack of habitat …

Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone
Historically, where forest habitats are deemed as the pristine landscape state,
anthropogenic habitats such as managed grasslands or open spaces are often perceived to …

An experiment to test key hypotheses of the drivers of reptile distribution in subalpine ski resorts
Alpine and subalpine ecosystems support many endemic species. These ecosystems are
increasingly under threat from human‐induced disturbances such as habitat loss and …

Maintaining biodiversity promotes the multifunctionality of social-ecological systems: holistic modelling of a mountain system
Monitoring the provision of multiple ecosystem services (ES) in social-ecological systems is
a major challenge. Most tools usually tackle the problem by modelling individual ES, but do …

Landscape changes caused by high altitude ski-pistes affect bird species richness and distribution in the Alps
There is a paucity of research on the wider landscape-level effects of ski-piste construction
on alpine fauna. In this study, the response of alpine bird communities to the landscape …

Arthropod colonisation of a debris-covered glacier
The largest debris-covered glacier in the Alps (Miage Glacier, western Italian Alps) has been
studied to explore the effects of debris-cover extent and depth on the spatial distribution of …
