Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
Jörg Tews,Ulrich Brose,Volker Grimm,Katja Tielbörger,Matthias C. Wichmann,Monika Schwager,Florian Jeltsch +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation, and possible effects may also vary relative to the structural variable measured.
ARTICLE Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed 85 publications for the period 1960-2003 and showed that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The state of plant population modelling in light of environmental change
TL;DR: It is suggested that a critical element limiting the current application of plant population modelling in environmental research is the trade-off between the necessary resolution and detail required to accurately characterize ecological dynamics pitted against the goal of generality, particularly at broad spatial scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in arthropod diversity along a land use driven gradient of shrub cover in savanna rangelands: identification of suitable indicators
TL;DR: Ground-dwelling invertebrates showed such clear responses in species assemblage composition, they present excellent candidates for use as indicator species in further studies into bush encroachment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Red Noise Increase or Decrease Extinction Risk? Single Extreme Events versus Series of Unfavorable Conditions
TL;DR: The results provide a simple explanation for the contrasting previous findings and are a crucial step toward a general understanding of the effect of noise color on extinction risk.
