Past and recent anthropogenic pressures drive rapid changes in riverine fish communities
Understanding how and why local communities change is a pressing task for conservation, especially in freshwater systems. It remains challenging...
-
Multiple anthropogenic pressures and local environmental gradients in ponds governing the taxonomic and functional diversity of epiphytic macroinvertebrates
Anthropogenic activities alter community composition, diversity and functioning of macroinvertebrate communities in freshwater ecosystems. Especially...

Anthropogenic pressures and spatio-temporal dynamics of forest ecosystems in the rural and border municipality of Kasenga (DRC)
Migration and the dependence of rural communities on forest resources for subsistence have profoundly altered the composition and spatial structure...
-
Wetland water quality patterns and anthropogenic pressure associations across the continental USA
Anthropogenic impacts on lake and stream water quality are well established but have been much less studied in wetlands. Here we use data from the...
-
Natural and Anthropogenic Lakes
Central Europe is naturally very rich in lakes in many regions, partly as a result of glacial landscape history. In addition, there are a large...

Human pressures constrain Eurasian otter occurrence in semiarid Northern Africa
Populations inhabiting the periphery of species distribution ranges may experience suboptimal environmental conditions and higher vulnerability to...

Impending anthropogenic threats and protected area prioritization for jaguars in the Brazilian Amazon
Jaguars ( Panthera onca ) exert critical top-down control over large vertebrates across the Neotropics. Yet, this iconic species have been declining...

Thresholds and tip** points are tempting but not necessarily suitable concepts to address anthropogenic biodiversity change—an intervention
Thresholds and tip** points are frequently used concepts to address the risks of global change pressures and their mitigation. It is tempting to...

Frequent disturbances and chronic pressures constrain stony coral recovery on Florida’s Coral Reef
Acute disturbances and chronic pressures have an important and increasing influence on the structure of coral reef communities. For the viability of...

Impact of Anthropogenic Compounds on Biodiversity: A Comprehensive Analysis
Anthropogenic chemicals are substances that are created mainly in industries for agriculture, medicine, and other commercial purposes. When exposed...

Lethal dog attacks on adult rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in an anthropogenic landscape
For nonhuman primates living in anthropogenic areas, predation by larger predators is relatively rare. However, smaller predators, such as...

Evaluation of anthropogenic pressure on the occupancy patterns of large mammals in the Western and Eastern Ghats
ContextHabitat loss limits the dispersal of wide-ranging large mammals. It is pivotal to study the ecological and anthropogenic factors driving the...

Anthropogenic Eutrophication Drives Major Food Web Changes in Mwanza Gulf, Lake Victoria
Discerning ecosystem change and food web dynamics underlying anthropogenic eutrophication and the introduction of non-native species is necessary for...
-
Behavioral responses of wild animals to anthropogenic change: insights from domestication
AbstractWith nearly all life on earth experiencing direct or indirect effects of human activity, there is an urgent need to understand how organisms...

Evaluating macrophytes as indicators of anthropogenic pressures in rivers in Ireland
The ability of macrophytes to indicate pressures in rivers was assessed by comparing metrics for nitrate (NO3), ammonia (NH4), soluble reactive...
-
Ecological thresholds of Odonata larvae to anthropogenic disturbances in neotropical savanna headwater streams
We evaluated whether ecological thresholds could be detected along gradients of disturbances by using larval Odonata genera. Morphological,...

Predicting the anthropogenic impacts on vegetation diversity of protected rangelands: an application of artificial intelligence
This study delves into anthropogenic impacts on vegetation diversity within mountainous protected rangelands, exploring habitat weakening and...

Plants’ Anatomical and Genetic Responses to Anthropogenic Climate Change and Human-Induced Activities
Anthropogenic climate changes have many impacts on plants and these changes leave imprints in their key anatomical and genetic characteristics. The...

Human pressures modulate climate-warming-induced changes in size spectra of stream fish communities
Climate warming can negatively affect the body size of ectothermic organisms and, based on known temperature–size rules, tends to benefit...

Denitrification in intertidal sediments of a tropical estuary subject to increasing development pressures
Darwin Harbour is a working port and the most populated city in the Northern Territory of Australia. This macrotidal estuary is located in the...
