Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a paramount global concern and, in this regard, monitoring urban has increasingly taken on significant role. Citizen science emerged as resource for addressing challenge, offering cost-effective approach capable of producing extensive data while promoting public engagement. In work, Lisbon university campus was used to determine the effectiveness citizen project launched BioDiversity4All/iNaturalist platform monitor and analyse influence different...
Summary Migratory wader populations face global threats, mainly related to increasing rates of habitat loss and disturbance driven by human activities. To a large extent, the long-term survival these requires conservation networks sites along their migratory flyways. The Tagus estuary, Portugal, is among most important wetlands for waders in East Atlantic Flyway. Annual winter counts have been carried this wetland since 1975 monthly roost-monitoring programme was implemented 2007. Wintering...
Abstract Habitat loss and non‐native species are two key drivers of biodiversity decline. The importance their interactions is widely recognized, but remains poorly understood. We used the endemic‐rich bird assemblage São Tomé Island to study this type interactions. built species‐specific binomial generalized linear models for 33 terrestrial species, based on presence–absence data from 2398 sampling points. Meta‐analysis techniques revealed that land use was more important in explaining...
Botanical Gardens are among the most visited touristic attractions, offering scientific, educational, cultural and leisure activities to preserve enhance heritage disseminating specialised knowledge on science history. There several mobile applications (apps) support visitors of Gardens, which explore augmented reality technologies enrich their experience. Our work aims systematize a set requirements that must be considered in development these apps. We have applied them an app for Garden...
Capsule Fragments of olive groves and riparian galleries have a positive influence on bird assemblages in Cork Oak woodlands. Aims Assess the impact fragments vegetation birds matrix woodland. Methods Bird point counts at increasing distances (0, 50, 150, 250 350 m) from 15 13 sectors embedded woodland to determine species abundance. Results A total 72 were recorded during spring, 61 winter. The diversity was somewhat greater near fragments. density six out 17 most abundant varied due...
Abstract Aim Few bird extinctions on oceanic island have been attributed to competition with non‐native species, even though it might be an overlooked driver of biodiversity loss. We evaluate the potential between native and identifying species characteristics that enhance may promote future extinctions. Location Seventy‐three (>100 km 2 ) islands worldwide. Methods compiled a list for each used single‐trait meta‐analyses assess differences species. Then, we beta regression models...
Abstract Wood-pastures are semi-natural systems that combine a grazed grassland with tree layer. Shrubs often controlled, mostly to improve grazing potential, resulting in reduction of the available ecological niches. From conservation perspective, it is thus important identify management practices counter this reduction. Our overall objective was determine value small shrubby patches increase richness wood-pasture bird communities. As study model we used Mediterranean oak wood-pastures...
