Abstract:

Italian vineyards are large-scale monocultures characterized by high pesticide pressure and removal of ecologically valuable structures. In the resulting highly disturbed and simplified systems, the insurgence of non-native species outbreaks can easier occur. In this framework, the preservation of semi-natural habitats and the adoption of more sustainable vineyard management practices are of particular importance in vineyard agro-ecosystems. In this thesis, the influence of vineyard management and landscape complexity on leafhopper species was investigated. Results shown that investigated fact

Abstract:

It is now widely acknowledged that a high proportion of the world's species are threatened with global extinction in the near future. Conserving all endangered species is impractical due to limited financial resources and manpower. Therefore, there is a real need to understand the mechanisms behind the extinction process in order to develop a proactive rather than reactive conservation strategy. Furthermore, given these limitations there is a need to be selective, prioritising species or areas not just on the basis of extinction risk or the number of species present, but with consideration for

Abstract:

A major objective of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BDEF) research is to determine the consequences of species loss, caused both naturally and anthropogenically, on the functioning of ecosystems. The impact of plant species loss on the soil microbial community has not received much attention even though soil microbes influence many important ecosystem functions such as decomposition and nutrient cycling. The objective of this research was to investigate how the functional group composition of the aboveground plant community influenced the belowground microbial community. Plant functional

Abstract:

Wetlands contain both aquatic and terrestrial environments which generates high biodiversity. However, they are commonly associated with mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), and mosquitoes are usually regarded as negative by humans because they can cause nuisance and transmit diseases. This thesis aimed to clarify the association between mosquitoes and wetlands and to achieve a more balanced view of biodiversity in wetlands by including mosquito diversity. Studies on adult mosquito diversity and assemblages were performed in 18 wetlands spread over Sweden. The Swedish mosquito species were organiz

Abstract:

Sown flowering strips can benefit beneficial arthropod groups (pollinators and natural enemies) on farmland and enhance the delivery of arthropod-mediated ecosystem services in crops. However, not all flowering plants may be useful for beneficial arthropod taxa, as differences in floral traits associated with nectar accessibility (e.g. nectar-holder depth) determine resource use. Therefore, increasing the number of distinct floral traits in flower mixes may be an effective way to manage multiple arthropod-mediated ecosystem services in farmland. Here, the response of pollinators and natural en

We then discuss the connection between leaf functional traits and their resulting optical properties (i.e., reflectance, transmittance, and absorption) and how this related to remote sensing (RS) of functional diversity. Building on this, we briefly discuss the history of RS of functional traits using spectroscopy and imaging spectroscopy data. We include a discussion of the key conside

Abstract:

Riparian vegetation of water streams represents dynamic ecosystem, which meets various functions. Since it forms a buffer zone between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, it is of great importance in the ecological stability of landscape. Its importance is even higher nowadays when the effect of human activities on the environment is much stronger than in the past. The structure and quality of the vegetation comprising the riparian zone plays an important role in its ability to provide various ecosystem functions such as filtration of the sediment being transported by the surface runoff du

Abstract:

Biodiversity is a notable outcome of biological evolution. In the process of adaptive radiation, functional principles of sensing in biology have been adapted to suit different tasks and constraints. The biosonar system of bats is an example of such an adaptive radiation in sensing that also offers particularly advantageous conditions for a biodiversity-level analysis of adaptation principles with potential engineering relevance. The beam-forming capabilities of bat biosonar are tied to the geometries of external baffle structures, i.e., the outer ears used for reception and the noseleaves use
