Grassland birds are among the most threatened and fastest declining terrestrial vertebrate species in Europe, principally due to agricultural intensification transformation. The little bustard is a priority grassland bird under European Directive (2009/147/CE) that led classification of network Special Protected Areas (SPAs) Portugal. A third national survey carried out 2022 reveals worsening an ongoing population collapse at scale. declined by 77% 56% compared previous surveys 2006 2016,...

Recent findings on the contribution of smallholders to global food production and security challenge values used in several reports international organizations. The skewed distribution number farms agricultural area by farm size may explain overestimations small farms' production. In fact, highest found literature seem be more strongly correlated total than actual they cover, suggesting errors estimation procedures. Additionally, a significant part is not considered official statistics, thus...

Landscape transformations have been a central topic in landscape ecology due to their influence on ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. dynamics can be very complex one of the most difficult issues analyse is contribution effects composition configuration changes overall impact. We enhanced an existing approach designed assess transformation via metrics combination. Based area number patches, we defined Dynamics Typology (LDT) with eight different dynamics. The agro-forestry...

Although the extractive operations of quarrying are often considered environmental threats, there is some evidence that abandoned quarries may have a significant positive impact on biodiversity by enhancing habitat quality for several species. In Estremoz Anticlinal, SE Portugal, many existing marble been inactive decades and were without any restoration project in progress. The quarry abandonment avifauna diversity was assessed relative to reference conditions using adjacent rural fields as...

Wild rabbit is a very important species in the Mediterranean region. Its relevance both ecological, being keystone —prey for several predators— and economic, as it most managed small game among mammals Iberian Peninsula. Although researchers managers claim restocking operations have moderate to low success, still one of management measures often used by conservationists hunters recover or boost wild populations. The high mortality usually verified first days after release main limiting...

Game species with home ranges exceeding the area of management units may entail conflicts over hunting rights and cause damage to crops forest stands in surrounding areas. This is currently case Mendro Mountain Range (Portugal), inhabited by free-ranging red (Cervus elaphus) fallow deer (Dama dama) populations. study’s primary goal was uncover processes underlying these tensions identify solutions overcome them, thus reconciling economic, social, ecological functions hunting. We analyzed...

<p>Wild rabbit is a relevant species in the Iberian Peninsula due to its ecological and economic roles. Conservationists game managers therefore have shared interest assuring existence of resilient sustainable populations. Although management principles guidelines are mostly known understood, often results not as good expected. Local abundance can vary significantly even short periods, while colonisation adjacent territories uncommon, probably territorial behaviour species. Aware that...

Invasive alien species are responsible for several negative impacts worldwide. Managing biological invasions is often difficult and the success rate quite low, but with good planning it possible to achieve results. Besides employing correct methods techniques, an overall strategy based on landscape dynamics expected spatial patterns can be fundamental success. The decision of where act embedded in a general criteria/goals such as control large populations, connectivity disruption, so on....
