Sustainable territorial management requires reliable assessment of the impact conservation policies on landscape structure and dynamics. Euro-Mediterranean regions present a remarkable biodiversity which is linked in part to traditional land use practices currently threatened by global change. The effectiveness one-decade against changes was examined Central Spain (Madrid Autonomous Community). A Markov model dynamics parameterized with CORINE Land Cover information transition matrices were...
Seed dispersal is key to forest regeneration and often depends on the behavior of seed scatter-hoarding animals. However, our understanding decision-making scatter-hoarders how vegetation structure at different spatial scales affects patterns remains limited. We studied edge across multiple (habitat, sub-habitat, microsites) between within habitats with distinct structure. Our model system a mixed-oak dominated by holm oak (Quercus ilex) an adjacent shrubland shrub Retama sphaerocarpa. For...
We compared the breeding phenology and clutch size of Choughs Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax in three Spanish areas that differed feeding habitat, environmental conditions distribution availability different nesting sites (cliffs or artefacts). The variation timing laying seemed to be related differences climatic determined by altitude. was associated with use made because contrasting their sites. Within southeastern Madrid, Chough decreased its variance increased at high nest densities on cliff...
Capsule The hypothesized regional population size of a common species in Spain was found to be unreliable when compared with complete and simultaneous single-species direct census.Aims To provide census Eurasian Jackdaws Corvus monedula as an example highlight the crucial importance baseline knowledge actual for validation calibration predictions derived from extrapolation.Methods Population measured by means counts winter communal roosts after determining best date other relevant...
The primary objective of planning in protected natural areas should be the conservation their inherent values. With this idea mind, a proposal an method for environmental area is presented. used was principal components analysis, multivariate analysis technique that integrates value and state (the degree alteration due to human activity) main characteristics environment. applied specific case Comunidad de Madrid (Madrid Autonomous Region), Spain.
Bird populations associated with agricultural ecosystems have declined markedly in Europe during the last quarter of 20th century due to land-use intensification. This has meant that some very common species, cases even species considered as pests, are now threatened or subject management programs ensure their conservation. Considered pests crops and predators small game corvids among most persecuted farmland birds. The consideration these birds lacks any scientific evaluation is justified...
Knowledge about the population size and trends of common bird species is crucial for setting conservation priorities management actions. Multi-species large-scale monitoring schemes have often provided such estimates relying on extrapolation relative abundances in particular habitats to areas. Here we show an alternative inference-rich predictive models, proposing methods deal with caveats estimations habitat-specialist species, reed warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus Acrocephalus...
