A total of 53 species was recorded, a richness similar to that of natural areas. At habitat level, species richness did not show a clear increasing trend from more to less urbanized habitats, but rather a homogeneous pattern. At city level, study areas hosted rather heterogeneous species ...

Under a Creative Commons license Open accessHighlights Abstract The potential of parasites to affect host abundance has been a topic of heated contention within the scientific community for some time, with many maintaining that issues such as habitat loss are more important in regulating wildlife popul...

The objective of our research is to study effects of a small-bodied fish acting as a top-predator in a species-poor habitat with high abundance of omnivorous species. To address this question we performed a field experiment in a Mediterranean salt marsh using mesocosms to assess if a small ...
Today, the lake's clear waters embody the transformation of Xiamen's development philosophy and methods, and bear witness to the city's vibrant practice of ecological progress. To date, Xiamen has won a series of awards ...
When a DNA gene is destroyed or altered in such a way that the genetic message carried by that gene is altered, this is referred to as a mutation. A Mutagen is a chemical that can cause a permanent change in the physical composition of a DNA gene, res...

The consequences of deforestation can include soil erosion, reduced water quality, decreased biodiversity, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and loss of habitat for wildlife. Soil erosion occurs when the trees that help retain water and soil are removed, leading to soil particles being ...
