Study on relationships between a species with its surrounding biotic and abiotic environment provides valuable information in terms of optimum choice for utilization, propagation, breeding and domestication. In other words, ecological study of behavior as essential elements of their ecosystems and habitat characteristics in order to find appropriate solutions to maintain, revise and revitalize ...

Theoretically, dispersers should target the habitat where prospects for fitness will be highest. Aiming for a habitat similar to the natal area (natal habitat-biased dispersal) has been hypothesized as a probable rule of thumb for dispersers, but has received very little empirical support to date. We investigated similarities between natal and post-dispersal settlement sites with radio-collared...

in this paper, natural frequencies of the sandwich plates with soft flexible core and composite face sheets are obtained. three-dimensional (3d) finite element method (fem) is used for constructing and analyzing of the sandwich plates to obtain their natural frequencies. continuity conditions for transverse shear stresses at the interfaces as well as transverse flexibility and transverse normal...

Habitat fragmentation may modify ecological patterns by increasing the importance of edge effects, including elevating rates of predation on avian nests. Conventional wisdom suggests an increased rate of predation along habitat edges, and previous reviews support this view. These reviews did not apply recent statistical approaches, however, and some were based on a small number of studies. In o...

The existence and sustainability of the ethbotanical plant species are among most important resources for world, especially considering hunger economic contribution. Moreover, with use wild human animal health medical purposes, these plants’ importance increasing. Therefore social awareness is effective sustainable relevant species. main reason emergence this study awareness. Here, we worked on...

Abstract Introduction Agricultural intensification results in biodiversity loss through land conversion and management practices which negatively impact arthropods. The abundance diversity of ground-dwelling predators, e.g. ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) spiders (Araneae), are affected by soil disturbances such as tillage. Reducing can potentially conserve arthropod populations the fiel...

Straightforward mapping of detailed heathland habitat patches and their quality using remote sensing is hampered by (1) the intrinsic property of a high heterogeneity in habitat species composition (i.e. high intra-variability), and (2) the occurrence of the same species in multiple habitat types (i.e. low inter-variability). Mapping accuracy of detailed habitat objects can however be improved ...
