Road barrier effect (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
The barrier effect of roads and highways is a phenomenon usually associated with landscape ecology, referring to the barrier that linear infrastructure like roads or railways place on the movement of animals. Largely viewed as a negative process, the barrier effect has also been found to have several positive effects, particularly with smaller species. To reduc...

Ecotype (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
Ecotypes are organisms which belong to the same species but possess different phenotypical features as a result of environmental factors such as elevation, climate and predation. Ecotypes can be seen in wide geographical distributions and may eventually lead to speciation.
The newest edition of the IALE-Europe Newsletter is now available, featuring key updates on the #IALE2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress "Landscape Perspectives in a Rapidly Changing World", taking place in Bratislava, Slovakia, from 2–5 September 2025. Amongst others this issue highlights the call for abstracts, keynote speakers, and opportunities for special issues & conference paper publications
Additionally, we cover the latest activities of the IALE-Europe Working Groups (WG), as well as early details on the upcoming IALE-Europe PhD course.
This Newsletter includes updates from various European Chapters, including Landscape Ecology UK, IALE-France, and IALE-Sweden. Special focus is given to the German-speaking Chapter (IALE-D), celebrating its 25th anniversary!
We also pay tribute to Prof. Milan Ružička, one of the founding figures of IALE, in a heartfelt obituary.
Stay informed and engaged with the latest in #LandscapeEcology #IALE

Changements de la biodiversité : l'exemple de la Haute vallée de la #Jonte au #MontAigoual
#MaxDebussche et #GenevièveDebusscheRimbault, chercheurs #CNRS au #CentreEcologieFonctionnelleetEvolutive à #Montpellier, maintenant retraités, viennent de publier une étude scientifique d'ampleur sur laquelle le #ParcnationaldesCévennes a collaboré.
Ce travail repose sur près de 40 ans de prospections de terrain dans la haute vallée de la Jonte, en cœur de Parc. Les suivis réguliers sur un même site, avec une méthodologie constante et sur une si longue durée, sont extrêmement rares. Ces données s’avèrent ainsi précieuses pour analyser les transformations qui affectent la biodiversité. Elles ont également été mises à profit au fil des années par le service scientifique du Parc pour enrichir ses propres recherches.
Cet article, écrit par les deux chercheurs, propose un résumé des principaux résultats présentés dans l’ouvrage (l'étude complète est disponible en téléchargement en fin d'article). #ecologie #geographie #phytosociologie #BraunBlanquet #ecology #landscapeecology #Cévennes

Niche apportionment models (Biodiversity 🦗)
Mechanistic models for niche apportionment are biological models used to explain relative species abundance distributions. These niche apportionment models describe how species break up resource pool in multi-dimensional space, determining the distribution of abundances of individuals among species....

Landscape connectivity (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
In landscape ecology, landscape connectivity is, broadly, "the degree to which the landscape facilitates or impedes movement among resource patches". Alternatively, connectivity may be a continuous property of the landscape and independent of patches and paths. Connectivity includes both structural connectivity and fu...

Ecological restoration (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
Ecological restoration, or ecosystem restoration, is the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. It is distinct from conservation in that it attempts to retroactively repair already damaged ecosystems rather than take preventative measures. E...

Patch dynamics (Habitat 🌄)
Patch dynamics is an ecological perspective that the structure, function, and dynamics of ecological systems can be understood through studying their interactive patches. Patch dynamics, as a term, may also refer to the spatiotemporal changes within and among patches that make up a landscape. Patch dynamics is ubiquitous in terrestria...

Spatial composition (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
In landscape ecology, spatial composition describes the content of a landscape in terms of the number of different categories of elements existing in the landscape and their proportions. Most commonly the elements being measured are spatial patches of different types. Together with spatial configuration, spatial composition is a basic component of landscape het...

Ecological niche (Landscape ecology 🏞️)
In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition. It describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors and how it in turn alters those same factors. "The type and number of variables comprising the dimensions of an environmental niche vary from one species to anothe...
Biogeography (Biogeography 🌍)
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time. Organisms and biological communities often vary in a regular fashion along geographic gradients of latitude, elevation, isolation and habitat area. Phytogeography is the branch of biogeography that stud...
