Increasing crop heterogeneity enhances multitrophic diversity across agricultural regions

Clélia Sirami, +57 more
TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimizing landscape selection for estimating relative effects of landscape variables on ecological responses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for landscape sample selection that is designed to overcome some common statistical pitfalls that may hamper estimates of relative effects of landscape variables on ecological responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of Priority Research Questions to Inform Conservation Policy and Management at a National Level

TL;DR: 40 questions are identified that provide potential links between evidence from the conservation sciences and formulation of policies for conservation and resource management in Canada and could be a model for similar efforts beyond Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of habitat loss, habitat configuration and matrix composition on declining wetland species

TL;DR: This paper evaluated the relative effects of wetland amount, wetland configuration, and matrix composition on the occurrence of eight declining wetland bird species and two threatened freshwater turtles across 66-70 landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of farmland heterogeneity on biodiversity are similar to—or even larger than—the effects of farming practices

TL;DR: In this article, the relative effects of six practices (annual/perennial crop, fertilizer use, herbicide use, insecticide usage, tile drainage, and tillage) versus two aspects of farmland heterogeneity (field size and crop diversity) on the diversity of herbaceous plants, woody plants, butterflies, syrphid flies, bees, carabid beetles, spiders, and birds in rural eastern Ontario, Canada.
