• Abstract

  Faced with the challenge of planning multifunctional landscapes to ensure the retention of both original biological diversity and ecosystem functions, as well as agricultural production, this project aims to investigate how parameters of landscape structure directly or indirectly regulates key ecosystem services through influencing a series of distinct ecological processes. As ecosystem s…

• Abstract

  Wild meat is an important source of protein and monetary income for rural people. Hunting pressure, however, can negatively affect hunted animals, threatening forest integrity in the long run, and reducing the value attributed to the forest by local populations. Defining the determinants of hunting is thus crucial to conservation strategies and to guarantee food security for human populat…

• Abstract

  Anthropogenic environmental disturbances have led to what has been termed biotic homogenization, a global pattern arising from the replacement of specialist and endemic species by generalist and widespread species. Despite the strong empirical evidence supporting it from around the world, species replacement may be caused by multiple ecological processes; yet, there are few formal tests o…

• Abstract

  Human-wildlife conflicts have been rapidly growing in the last years and are nowadays considered one of the most important threats to wildlife conservation around the world. Research about conflicts has been centered on two relatively isolated approaches that are seldom explored together: one focuses on the ecological determinants of conflicts (e.g. how landscape structure affects wildlif…
