Abstract Land-use transitions can enhance the livelihoods of smallholder farmers but potential economic-ecological trade-offs remain poorly understood. Here, we present an interdisciplinary study environmental, social and economic consequences land-use in a tropical landscape on Sumatra, Indonesia. We find widespread biodiversity-profit resulting from forest agroforestry systems to rubber oil palm monocultures, for 26,894 aboveground belowground species whole-ecosystem multidiversity....
Bats are integral components of the environment serving an indispensable role in maintaining health different ecosystem ranging from forested areas up to riparian zones. Rivers and provide important habitat for bat fauna by providing direct valuable resources. The along Cagayan de Oro river had never been assessed current study was first. Bat survey conducted relevant locations communities through mist netting designed baseline ecological information initial data on species composition...
Climate change is already affecting biodiversity, with special concern to endemics whose range restricted and limited. This study focuses on the Mindanao horned frog (Pelobatrachus stejnegeri), an endemic species Philippines, susceptible climate-induced habitat changes. Using MaxEnt distribution model (SDM), current future (year 2050 projections) suitability of P. stejnegeri were modelled. Results showed that annual mean temperature, elevation, precipitation environmental variables having...
