Despite advances in understanding the effects of landscape structure on ecosystem services (ES), many challenges related to these complex spatial interactions remain. In particular, integration different components service provision chain (supply, demand, and flow) remains poorly understood conceptualized. Here we propose a theoretical framework further explore how flow ES can vary according (i.e. composition configuration) emphasizing role played by configuration supply, neutral areas, as...
Abstract The fulfilment of the benefits resulting from services provided by nature requires an integrated framework that combines appropriate ecosystem service governance with spatially explicit models provision. Here, we propose using a social‐ecological network approach to develop ‘landscape framework’ identifies how different types can act on supply, demand and flow through changes in landscape structure connections. Starting undesirable situations where exceeds exemplify application this...
Abstract Inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration in environmental studies faces the challenge of communicating across disciplines to reach a common understanding scientific problems solutions changing world. One way address current pressing challenges is employ boundary work approach that uses activities borders separated field research. But how can this look like practice? In research brief, we self-evaluated synthesis group on socio-ecological systems, based an online survey with...
Abstract Context Managing landscapes to increase multiple services provision in search of higher agricultural yield can be an alternative intensification. Nonetheless, properly guide management, we need better understand how landscape structure affects at different scales. Objectives Focused on synergies and trade-offs real-world landscapes, investigated which scale features related the supply, demand flow act as a common driver pollination pest control coffee plantations. Methods...
Understanding gaps in academic representation while considering the intersectionality concept is paramount to promoting real progress towards a more inclusive STEM. Here we discuss ways which STEM careers can be sown and germinated so that inclusivity flourish.
Studies on gender disparity in academia generate constructive discussions to promote equality. In a recently published study, AlShebli et al. 2020 analyzed the role of informal mentorship supporting early-career scientists and how may shape scientific careers. Besides presenting methodological flaws, study culminates authors' conclusion that mentoring quality is determined by mentor's gender, suggesting female protégés reap more benefits when mentored males rather than equally-impactful...
Recently, Riva and Fahrig revisited the SLOSS question with fresh data from Chase et al. (2019) concluded that small patches (SP) are disproportionately important for biodiversity conservation compared to large (LP). They recommended priorities, canonically oriented toward LP, should shift recognize value of SP. We appreciate their new analysis, agree SP have outstanding importance maintaining diversity, understand they do not suggest neglecting LP. However, we want clarify two points....
Abstract The negative effect of fragmentation is one the main concerns in study biodiversity loss landscape ecology. use matrix has been considered an important factor because it can change relationship a population with configuration landscape. A systematic way to assess quality fragmented landscapes could lead better understanding how matrices be used suppress fragmentation. We built computational individual-based model capable simulating bi-dimensional three types land cover (habitat,...
