Positive diversity-stability relationships in forest herb populations during four decades of community assembly.
- Martin Dovčiak, C. Halpern
- Geography, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 October 2010
It is suggested that diversity destabilizes individual populations within communities; however, generalizations are problematic because effects of diversity can be confounded by variation… Expand

Persistence of a rare ancient cycad: Effects of environment and demography
- Juan C. Álvarez-Yépiz, Martin Dovčiak, A. Búrquez
- Biology
- 2011
Conservation of rare species is frequently complicated by their narrow niches and poor competitive abilities which limit their distribution to a few small populations. We studied how population size… Expand
Seven decades of change in a European old-growth forest following a stand-replacing wind disturbance: A long-term case study
- P. Jaloviar, M. Saniga, Stanislav Kucbel, J. Pittner, J. Vencurik, Martin Dovčiak
- Geography
- 1 September 2017
Abstract Understanding long-term successional changes in old growth forests affected by stand-replacing disturbance is particularly important in the context of contemporary changes in climate and… Expand

Conservation potential of prescribed fire for maintaining habitats and populations of an endangered rattlesnake Sistrurus c. catenatus
- Martin Dovčiak, Portia A. Osborne, D. G. Patrick, J. Gibbs
- Biology
- 7 November 2013
Many endangered species rely on early successional habitats to complete parts of their life cycles. We examined whether prescribed fire can be used to aid in conservation of the endangered eastern… Expand
Modelling white-tailed deer impacts on forest regeneration to inform deer management options at landscape scales
- M. Lesser, Martin Dovčiak, +6 authors J. Frair
- Biology
- 15 September 2019
Abstract Long-term continuity of forest cover in eastern North America may be threatened in part by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), but effectively managing that threat requires greater… Expand
Spatial structure of traditional land organization allows long-term persistence of large Formica exsecta supercolony in actively managed agricultural landscape
- Michal Wiezik, I. Gallay, Adela Wieziková, M. Čiliak, Martin Dovčiak
- Geography
- Journal of Insect Conservation
- 5 April 2017
Semi-natural linear habitats such as field and meadow margins are often crucial in maintaining insect diversity and species distributions in agricultural landscapes. While many ant species are… Expand
A trait-based approach to the conservation of threatened plant species
- Juan C. Álvarez-Yépiz, A. Búrquez, A. Martínez-Yrízar, Martin Dovčiak
- Geography
- 1 July 2019
Traditionally the vulnerability of threatened species to extinction has been assessed by studying their environment, genetics and population dynamics. A more comprehensive understanding of the… Expand
Heterogeneity in millipede communities (Diplopoda) within a forest–forest edge–meadow habitat complex
- S. Stašiov, V. Kubovčík, +4 authors Martin Dovčiak
- Geography
- 1 July 2019
Abstract The positive influence of heterogeneity in vegetation and land-use on animal diversity is generally well established, but it has not been conclusively confirmed yet in millipede communities… Expand
