Journal ArticleDOI

Marco Moretti,André T. C. Dias,Francesco de Bello,Francesco de Bello,Florian Altermatt,Florian Altermatt,Steven L. Chown,Francisco M. Azcárate,James R. Bell,Bertrand Fournier,Mickaël Hedde,Joaquín Hortal,Joaquín Hortal,Sébastien Ibanez,Erik Öckinger,José Paulo Sousa,Jacintha Ellers,Matty P. Berg,Matty P. Berg +18 more
TL;DR: This handbook is a crucial first step towards standardizing trait methodology across the most studied terrestrial invertebrate groups, and the protocols are aimed to balance general applicability and requirements for special cases or particular taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abandonment in grazing systems: Consequences for vegetation and soil
TL;DR: In this article, changes to floristic composition, species richness and heterogeneity as well as soil and light resources in relation to grazing abandonment in two characteristic topography-related types of dehesa habitat (upper slope and lower slope grasslands).
Journal ArticleDOI
Research trends in ecosystem services provided by insects

Landis,Marco Moretti,Simon G. Potts,Eleanor M. Slade,Eleanor M. Slade,Jane C. Stout,Michael D. Ulyshen,Felix L. Wäckers,Ben A. Woodcock,Ana M. C. Santos +19 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that current knowledge on the ES provided by insects is relatively scarce and biased, and gaps in the least-studied functional and taxonomic groups are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomical and functional diversity turnover in Mediterranean grasslands: interactions between grazing, habitat type and rainfall
Carlos P. Carmona,Francisco M. Azcárate,Francesco de Bello,Francesco de Bello,Helios Sáinz Ollero,Jan Lepš,Begoña Peco +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of grazing intensity, habitat type and rainfall on taxonomic and functional diversities (TD and FD) and the relationship between them was examined across scales (within communities, within grazing levels and between grazing levels).
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed size, shape and persistence in dry Mediterranean grass and scrublands
TL;DR: There was a significant tendency for species with persistent seeds to have smaller seeds than species with transient seeds, and the binary logistic model of seed bank type as a function of seed weight was significant and explained 67% of total variability.
