BIANDOCC is a project that aims to inventory all the forest patches embedded in this anthropogenic area to record quantitative, qualitative, and descriptive information about management, conservation status, vegetation physiognomy and Xoristic richness. We have characterized a ‘relictual’ landscape (t1% of habitat retention) where nearly 70% of the patches (N = 535) are owned by private landowners who manage them to harvest pine nuts, cork, and Wrewood, for coal making, cattle raising, and to a lesser extent, beekeeping and agriculture. The publicly owned patches are intensively used for recreation. As a consequence, the vegetation physiognomy and conservation status in most forest stands is impoverished, with low shrub diversity and coverage and none or very low natural tree regeneration. Furthermore, patch size, connectedness and patch fractal dimension (i.e. microhabitat diversity) are all very low. However, the botanic richness is worth mentioning: 1,032 plant taxa have been identiWed, of which 70 are catalogued in an oYcial red list, 39 are relevant chorological novelties, and one was newly described for science. Therefore, and interestingly, the remnant forest patches in the studied area can be regarded as relevant biodiversity reservoirs. The project reported here constitutes an important baseline for developing true conservation action plans and provides an opportunity to address the potential ecological and biological eVects of fragmentation to plant genes, species, populations and communities, at the regional scale of the study, which are enhanced by the emergent landscape genetics and landscape ecology analytical tools.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robles, Hugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciudad, Carlos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vera, Rubén</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baglione, Vittorio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">No effect of habitat fragmentation on post-fledging, first-year and adult survival in the middle spotted woodpecker</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecography</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Habitat fragmentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">middle spotted woodpecker</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Survival</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.2007.0906-7590.05179.x</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">685 - 694</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Despite its relevance for the dynamics of populations, the ecological mechanisms underlying juvenile and adult survival are poorly known in most bird species. This study focuses on the effect of habitat fragmentation on early post-fledging, first-year and adult survival of the middle spotted woodpecker Dendrocopus medius by combining data of radio-tagged and ringed birds. Among juveniles, most deaths occurred during the first three weeks after fledging (survival rate: 0.35990.077) and were mainly caused by predation. After independence, birds faced another critical period during their first autumn-winter that lowered first-year survival further (0.25590.044), whereas adult mortality was considerably lower (annual survival rate: 0.78690.074). We did not find any significant effect of habitat fragmentation (measured as patch size and connectivity) on juvenile or adult survival. Sex ratio at fledging did not differ significantly from parity (proportion of females: 0.513) and was not correlated to patch size. Regardless of age, survival did not differ between the sexes, suggesting that a femalebiased mortality was not the mechanism behind the presence of unpaired territorial males in this population. Lighter nestlings underwent significantly higher post-fledging mortality, indicating that conditions in the nest may substantially affect survival later in life.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frank, Beatrice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battisti, Corrado</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Area effect on bird communities, guilds and species in a highly fragmented forest landscape of central Italy</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Journal of Zoology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Area size effect</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Area-sensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Habitat fragmentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Island biogeography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">isolation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Target species</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Threshold values</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/11250000509356689</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">72</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">297 - 304</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abstract Breeding bird communities in an ?archipelago? of 16 wood fragments (13 oak deciduous woods, 1 holm wood, and 2 anthropogenic pinewoods) in a littoral plain of Central Italy were studied. Species richness and diversity index resulted directly and significantly correlated to fragment area. Species richness tended to cumulate in fragments over 100?ha area size. The log?transformed species/area relationship showed a coefficient z = 0.21, inside the range known for ecological islands. Z coefficient increased (0.23) excluding one guild of field?edge and anthropophilous species. Cluster analysis showed a separation among fragments based on their area size. Although species richness in pinewood plantations corresponded to the expected one from species/area relationship, cluster analysis highlighted disaffinity with bird communities of larger woods of oaks. These anthropogenic woods could not be surrogate habitats for many forest species in fragmented landscapes. Richness and abundance of field?edge and anthropophilous species resulted inversely correlated to fragment area. The opposite trend was observed for forest sensu latu species. Correlation coefficient increased considering only deciduous oak fragments. Some forest generalist species showed an abundance directly correlated to fragment size area (Troglodytes troglodytes, Erithacus rubecula, Fringilla coelebs); other species (Streptopelia turtur, Upupa epops, Jynx torquilla, Picoides major, Sitta europaed) were absent in fragment smaller than 10 ha. These species could constitute a set of area?sensitive taxa for planning strategy in highly fragmented landscapes, although, selection of these targets appears strongly context?limited.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi: 10.1080/11250000509356689doi: 10.1080/11250000509356689The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Taylor &amp; Francis</style></notes></record></records></xml>
