The importance of habitat and microclimate on the functional and guild structure of canopy-dwelling beetle communities in subantarctic forest
Beetle species living in high-latitude forests may be sensitive to variations in habitat conditions and microclimate. We tested that the functional...

Influence of habitat heterogeneity on the elevational distribution and guild structure of birds in the Rajparian Wildlife Sanctuary, Kashmir Himalaya
The understanding of habitat preference and guild structure in the bird community will contribute significantly to the conservation and management of...

The importance of patch shape at threshold occupancy: functional patch size within total habitat amount
The habitat amount hypothesis (HAH) stresses the importance of total patch amount over the size of individual patches in determining species richness...

Elucidation of Diversity and Habitat Utilization of Waterbirds in Khajuha Wetland, Northern India
AbstractWetlands are important habitats for bird populations and understanding the diversity and other ecological characteristics of bird species...

Significant effects of host dietary guild and phylogeny in wild lemur gut microbiomes
Mammals harbor diverse gut microbiomes (GMs) that perform critical functions for host health and fitness. Identifying factors associated with GM...

Time activity budget and foraging behavior: important determinants of resource sharing and guild structure in wintering waterbirds
The main focus of this work was to study the use of freshwater wetlands by 12 waterbirds (4 resident species and 8 Palearctic migrant species) during...

Influence of habitat fragmentation and habitat amount on soil fungi communities in ancient forests
ContextFungi represent a large part of soil biodiversity as well as an essential role for tree hydromineral nutrition, survival, and carbon cycling....

Diversity, status and guild structure of the avifauna in the Ajodhya Foothills, Baghmundi, Purulia, West Bengal, India
Avifaunal diversity acts as an important indicator to evaluate different habitats both quantitatively and qualitatively. Avian species diversity of...

Assessing habitat selection of the vulnerable Asian small-clawed otters in an anthropized riparian forest of eastern Bangladesh
The Asian small-clawed otter ( Aonyx cinereus ) is a globally vulnerable mesopredator endemic to South and Southeast Asia. This species is one of the...

Ant habitat-use guilds response to forest-pasture shifting in the southwestern Amazon
Ant assemblages have been used as bioindicators of biodiversity response to different types of anthropogenic disturbances. However, usual diversity...

Global investigation of lake habitat coupling by fishes
Habitat coupling, where consumers acquire resources from different habitats, plays an important role in ecosystem functioning. In this study, we...

Habitat structure and the presence of large carnivores shape the site use of an understudied small carnivore: caracal ecology in a miombo woodland
Basic ecological knowledge on African small carnivores and how they interact with the wider carnivore guild are lacking for many species. The caracal...

Habitat configurations shape the trophic and energetic dynamics of reef fishes in a tropical–temperate transition zone: implications under a warming future
Understanding the extent to which species’ traits mediate patterns of community assembly is key to predict the effect of natural and anthropogenic...

Are southern temperate urban natural forests a suitable habitat for beetle diversity? A case study in Chile
Urban expansion is an important cause of biodiversity loss due to habitat destruction involving the replacement of the natural environment with...
-
Importance of habitat area, quality and landscape context for heteropteran diversity in shrub ecotones
ContextHabitat loss and degradation impose serious threats on biodiversity. However, not all habitats receive the attention commensurate with their...

Guild-dependent effects of forest fragmentation in canopy arthropod diversity associated to Quercus deserticola
Forest fragmentation is one of the main factors leading to biodiversity loss and negatively affecting arthropod communities. We analyzed the effects...

Habitat and nutrients, but not artificial lighting at night, drive fish assemblage composition in urban streams
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is pervasive in urban environments with well described effects on animal melatonin profiles, behavior, fecundity,...

Tributaries create habitat heterogeneity and enhance fish assemblage variation in one of the largest reservoirs in the world
The Three Gorges Reservoir is one of the largest reservoirs in the world. Previous studies uncovered longitudinal changes in fish assemblages among...

Importance of complex sponges as habitat and feeding substrata for coral reef fishes
Coral reef fishes are usually assumed to be most strongly associated with reef-building corals. However, sponges can be a significant structural...

Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river
Lowland temperate rivers provide important habitats for piscivorous fishes, but with their year-round spatial and temporal habitat use is often...
