TY - T1 - Applying trait-based community metrics of relevance to conservation for understanding community patterns of farmland birds in Northwest Russia SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/235598 T3 - A1 - Herzon, Irina; Marja, Riho; Le Viol, Isabelle; Menshikova, Svetlana; Kondratyev, Aleksander A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Use of community trait-based metrics has been increasingly implemented for achieving an integrated view of biodiversity in conservation planning. We examined the extent, to which the use of community metrics based on species traits reflecting plausible sensitivity to change would contribute to our understanding of landscape characteristics of importance to the conservation of farmland birds in a poorly studied region of Northwest Russia. We collected species data on farmland from 230 transects c...
