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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested for consistent relationships between landscape heterogeneity and biodiversity in farmland, with a view to developing simple rules for landscape management that could increase biodiversity within farmland, and found that mean crop field size had the strongest overall effect on biodiversity measures in crop fields, and this effect was consistently negative.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify circumstances in which road-kill hotspots are not appropriate indicators for the selection of the best road kill mitigation sites and show that direct measures of the road impact on the population, such as per capita mortality, are better indicators of appropriate mitigation sites than road kill hotspots.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present temporal trend analyses of temperate mixed forest dynamics in Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada, using a time series of Landsat 5 TM scenes.
