Lasting decrease in functionality and richness: Effects of ivermectin use on dung beetle communities

Lucie Ambrozova et al.

Summary: The use of ivermectin negatively affects non-target dung beetles in agro-ecosystems, leading to decreased species richness and abundance while also impacting the functionality of dung removal by these beetles.

Grasslands provide diverse opportunities for bird species along an urban-rural gradient

Josephine A. Pithon et al.

Summary: Urbanisation leads to biodiversity loss, but careful management of habitats and green spaces can help mitigate negative effects on birds. Our study in French cities found that bird species richness was influenced by local habitat characteristics, while total bird abundance depended on landscape context. Birds foraged in different grassland types based on their requirements, suggesting a diversity of grassland management along the urban-rural gradient allows for co-existence of various bird species at a landscape scale.

Species-specific breeding habitat association of declining farmland birds within urban environments: conservation implications

Jan Havlicek et al.

Summary: This study examined the habitat preferences and population densities of three farmland bird species in urban environments, finding that house sparrows and Eurasian collared doves preferred buildings, while tree sparrows favored small-scale farms. Based on these findings, management measures can be implemented to support declining populations of these species in urban settings.
