Abstract The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems ( https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/our-work/biodiversity/predicts.html )—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database comparable samples biodiversity multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base develop global and regional statistical models how local responds these measures....
Fire is a major agent involved in landscape transformation and an indirect cause of changes species composition. Responses to fire may vary greatly depending on life histories functional traits species. We have examined the taxonomic responses eight animal groups displaying gradient dietary mobility patterns: Gastropoda, Heteroptera, Formicidae, Coleoptera, Araneae, Orthoptera, Reptilia Aves. The fieldwork was conducted Mediterranean protected area 3 sites (one unburnt two burnt with...
A dataset of 3,250,404 measurements, collated from 26,114 sampling locations in 94 countries and representing 47,044 species. The data were 480 existing spatial comparisons local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities types anthropogenic pressures, terrestrial sites around the world. database was assembled as part PREDICTS project - Projecting Responses Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems; [www.predicts.org.uk](http://www.predicts.org.uk).\r\n\r\nThe taxonomic...
Land-use change is considered the main disturbance in landscape structure and composition, directly affecting faunal distribution species richness worldwide. Wildfires natural reforestation alter habitat terms of vegetation cover also soil composition moisture; these processes hence trigger transformations that act as opposing forces at small spatial scales. We have explored contrasting effects wildfires on two land-snail genus Xerocrassa , which are endemic western Mediterranean. Snails...
In fire-prone regions, fire is a major natural disturbance which shapes ecosystem function and community composition. Fire has direct dramatic effect on soil fauna and, especially, non-mobile species such as land snails. The factors that make the Mediterranean Basin region may also lead to appearance after fires of certain functional traits related ecological physiological characteristics. Knowledge how structure change along post-fire succession will be useful for understanding processes...
Summary Species tend to peak in abundance at different times after fires. Over time, species richness (α) and landscape heterogeneity are prone increase lead greater between-site diversity (β). However, post-fire salvage logging can reduce β-diversity, both directly through its influence on succession. The as-yet understudied response of land snails long-term habitat modification wildfires forest management is important for decision-making restoration conservation. We expected detect...
Species with small geographic ranges do not tend to have a high genetic structure, but some land snail species seem be an exception. Xerocrassa montserratensis, endangered endemic Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula), is excellent model study the processes affecting phylogeography of specialized conservation concern. This restricted xerophilous stony slopes and occurs within fragmented area ca. 500 km2. We sequenced COI barcode region 152 individuals from eight sites covering entire...
Mitjancant una revisio bibliografica de publicacions editades des 1868 fins a 2004, s'ha elaborat un inventari preliminar la fauna malacologica serra Collserola, amb 99 especies. L'area geografica estudiada es dels espais naturals iberics mes referencies bibliografiques mol·luscs terrestres i d'aigua dolca. Tanmateix, resten per resoldre moltes llacunes sobre alguns taxons. En concret, manquen localitzacions recents diverses especies verificar que actualment son presents dins l'ambit del...
Es dona a coneixer l’inventari actualitzat dels cargols terrestres del Parc Natural de Montserrat, amb 73 taxons. Per complir aquest objectiu ha calgut fer una revisio bibliografica mes 130 publicacions. Alhora, s’ha dut terme, forma planificada, un treball camp en diverses localitats massis representacio diferents habitats, l’objectiu descriure preliminar les comunitats l’ambit d’estudi. S’han estudiat total 342 lots d’especies i com resultat se n’han identificat 50. Els ben representats...
A malacological survey was made taking into account all the 91 1x1 km UTM grid squares that cover area of Collserola mountains, Barcelona (north-eastern Iberian peninsula). From 108 sampled localities, 1,261 records molluscs were obtained. total 73 species identified: seven freshwater species, 11 slugs, and 55 land molluscs. The first discussions on results a draft initial conclusions are shown. Information dominant gastropod habitat preference in ecosystems is also provided.
espanolHelix montserratensis (actualmente Xerocrassa montserratensis) es un geomitrido iberico descrito por Hidalgo en 1870 Montserrat (Barcelona, Espana). Sobre la base de varios caracteres conquiologicos, se describieron dos taxones muy similares, como variedades este taxon: Helix betulonensis y otro menos nombrado, delicatula. Estas variedades, sobre todo betulonensis, han considerado subespecies X. montserratensis, aunque algunos autores las consideran especies diferentes, basandose los...
La revisio de citacions bibliografiques situades a les Planes Son i la Mata Valencia (municipi d’Alt Aneu, Pallars Sobira) ha permes identificar 33 especies mol·luscs (set quals corresponents llimacs) presents historicament en zona. Una campanya camp portada terme recentment (2006–2007) detectat 50 no-llimacs, dues representades amb subespecies cadascuna. Es proporcionen dades detallades dels dos inventaris faunistics. Paraules clau: Pirineus, Fauna, Mollusca.
The species richness of land molluscs is negatively correlated with altitude, while the altitudinal range inhabiting at higher elevations greater than in low levels. At scale this study factors other elevation may account better for richness.
Water quality and riparian communities are among the most affected stream components by agriculture. However, little is known about effects of management for both aquatic terrestrial taxa at different spatial scales. Here, we surveyed (diatoms) (bryophytes, vascular plants, litter-dwelling snails, ground volant arthropods), to compare abundance richness chemical between reference exposed sites in two reaches each c. 3.5 km northwestern Spain. Impacts were mainly due traditional farming...
