  • A spatial scale assessment of habitat effects on arthropod communities of an oceanic island 
    Cardoso, Pedro; Aranda, Silvia C.; Lobo, Jorge M.; Dinis, Francisco; Gaspar, Clara; Borges, Paulo A. V. (Gauthier-Villars, 2009)
    Most habitats in the Azores have undergone substantial land-use changes and anthropogenic disturbance during the last six centuries. In this study we assessed how the richness, abundance and composition of arthropod ...
  • Functional biogeography of oceanic islands and the scaling of functional diversity in the Azores 
    Whittaker, Robert J.; Rigal, François; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Cardoso, Pedro; Terzopoulou, Sofia; Casanoves, Fernando; Pla, Laura; Guilhaumon, François; Ladle, Richard J.; Triantis, Kostas A. (National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2014)
    Analyses of species-diversity patterns of remote islands have been crucial to the development of biogeographic theory, yet little is known about corresponding patterns in functional traits on islands and how, for example, ...
  • Spatial scaling of species abundance distributions 
    Borda-de-Água, Luís; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Hubbell, Stephen P.; Pereira, Henrique M. (Munksgaard International Publishers; Blackwell Publishers, 2012)
    Species abundance distributions are an essential tool in describing the biodiversity of ecological communities. We now know that their shape changes as a function of the size of area sampled. Here we analyze the scaling ...
  • Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling 
    Cardoso, Pedro; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Veech, Joseph A. (Blackwell Science Ltd., 2009)
    Aim Researchers measuring beta diversity have rarely concerned themselves with the problems of how complete the species lists of studied communities are, and of how the varying degrees of completeness can actually change ...
  • The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them 
    Cardoso, Pedro; Erwin, Terry L.; Borges, Paulo A. V.; New, Tim R. (Applied Science Publishers Oxford; Elsevier, 2011)
    <br/>Despite their high diversity and importance for humankind, invertebrates are often neglected in biodiversity conservation policies. We identify seven impediments to their effective protection: (1) invertebrates and ...
  • Use of Arthropod Rarity for Area Prioritisation: Insights from the Azorean Islands 
    Fattorini, Simone; Cardoso, Pedro; Rigal, Francois; Borges, Paulo A. V. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
    We investigated the conservation concern of Azorean forest fragments and the entire Terceira Island surface using arthropod species vulnerability as defined by the Kattan index, which is based on species rarity. Species ...
