Agricultural biodiversity and associated services across rural-urban landscapes
(2024-07-18)Urbanization is a primary threat to biodiversity and the functioning of both natural and agro-ecosystems. Especially in the Global South, expanding cities increasingly encroach fertile agricultural lands, questioning the ... -
Local and landscape threats to bee and wasp populations in agricultural landscapes
(2023-12-01)The transformation and intensified use of the agricultural landscape in central Germany in the past decades has led to the fragmentation and loss of semi-natural habitats, threatening biodiversity including insects. Bees ... -
Pollinators and Ecosystem Services in an Oil Palm Transformation Landscape
(2022-09-27)Insect pollination is an economically important ecosystem service that depends heavily on wild pollinators. Landscape transformation caused by conversion to agriculture threatens habitats of wild pollinators, reducing their ... -
Farmland biodiversity and associated ecosystem services across tropical rural- urban landscapes
(2022-07-20)Driven by the unprecedented growth of human populations, cities all over the globe are expanding. Especially Asia and Africa are hotspots of current and future urbanization. As cities grow, they extend in area, sprawling ... -
Scales of bacterial interactions on the leaf surface
(2017-01-16)Microbial organisms are ubiquitous to habitats on Earth and they are important components in cycling of matter. This is true for the micro-scale and at global scale, and all spatial scales in between. In soils, aquatic ... -
Local and Landscape Management of Biological Pest Control in Oil Palm Plantations
(2016-06-14)Oil palm is the highest yielding vegetable oil crop per unit area and plantations expand at a rapid pace. Large-scale expansion of oil palm plantations, transformed from natural habitat, results in huge biodiversity losses. ... -
Scale dependence of pollinator community turnover and tritrophic interactions in changing landscapes
(2015-01-23)Agricultural landscapes account for approximately 40% of global terrestrial area and this proportion tends to grow due to the increasing demand for fuel, food and other agricultural products. For successful crop production ... -
Birds, bats and arthropods in tropical agroforestry landscapes: Functional diversity, multitrophic interactions and crop yield
(2014-04-03)Ecosystem services such as the suppression of pest insects may increase productivity of agroforestry systems and thereby increase well-being of smallholders. Tropical birds and bats are effective predators of arthropods ...
