Bark gnawing of forest trees by voles during the growing season
This study investigated the impact of small rodents on young trees during three growing seasons (2018–2020) in the Czech Republic. Tree damage by small rodents, the quantity and quality of herbaceous plant bio...

Spill over of the common voles from rape fields to adjacent crops
This study investigates the impact of the common vole on cereal crops adjacent to winter rape in a rodent outbreak year. Significant damage was found at the margins of adjacent cereal fields, indicating direct...

The successive trend of vegetation confirms the removal of non-indigenous woody species as an insufficient restoration action
Invasive woody species can substantially affect their environment and communities, enhancing the interest in conservation management. Non-indigenous dwarf pine (Pinus mugo) in the treeline ecotone of the Eastern ...

Can we detect response differences among dominant rodent species to climate and acorn crop in a Central European forest environment?
Acorn crops and rodent populations [bank vole (Myodes glareolus), yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis), and wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus)] were monitored for 11 years (2002–2012) in mature oak commercial...

Factors influencing the introduction and spread of Harmonia axyridis in the Iberian Peninsula
Harmonia axyridis is a global invasive alien species and its ecological effects are well documented. However, in some regions where it was deliberately introduced, it never became fully established. Until recentl...

Open AccessThreatened species richness along a Himalayan elevational gradient: quantifying the influences of human population density, range size, and geometric constraints
A crucial step in conserving biodiversity is to identify the distributions of threatened species and the factors associated with species threat status. In the biodiversity hotspot of the Himalaya, very little ...

Main determinants of rodent population fluctuations in managed Central European temperate lowland forests
Whilst studies have shown that climatic (North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)) and biotic (acorn production) factors influence rodent populations, mechanisms driving temporal and spatial fluctuation of rodent popu...

Dynamics of herbaceous vegetation during four years of experimental coppice introduction
Understanding the effects of coppicing on forest ecosystems is important for progress towards sustainable forest management. A newly established coppicing experiment in a secondary temperate deciduous forest i...

Patterns of functional diversity of two trophic groups after canopy thinning in an abandoned coppice
Coppice abandonment had negative consequences for the biodiversity of forest vegetation and several groups of invertebrates. Most coppicing restoration studies have focused only on a single trophic level despi...

Trends and events through seven centuries: the history of a wetland landscape in the Czech Republic
Environmental change can be viewed as the combined result of long-term processes and singular events. While long-term trends appear to be readily available for observation (in the form of temporal comparisons ...

Lepidopteran species richness of alpine sites in the High Sudetes Mts.: effect of area and isolation
Alpine sites in the High Sudetes Mts. host—due to their history and special climatic conditions—unique assemblages of lepidopteran species. We used data from ten of these sites to study species richness of the...

Effect of canopy openness on the pressure of predatory arthropods and birds on epigeic insects
As canopy structure produces spatial heterogeneity of litter microclimatic conditions and thus is a crucial factor affecting ground insects, we hypothesized that low canopy openness has a positive effect on th...

Enigmatic adult overwintering in damselflies: coexistence as weaker intraguild competitors due to niche separation in time
Odonata, like most freshwater invertebrates, tend to overwinter in water due to the thermal properties of a water environment. Winter damselflies (genus Sympecma), however, hibernate as adults in terrestrial habi...
