DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8795
Abstract: Abstract Like large carnivores, hunters both kill and scare ungulates, and thus might indirectly affect plant performance through trophic cascades. In this study, we hypothesized that intensive hunting and enduring fear of humans have caused… read more here.

Above- and Below-ground Cascading Effects of Wild Ungulates in Temperate Forests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00509-4
Abstract: Ungulates have become abundant in many temperate forests, shifting tree species composition by browsing and altering soil physical conditions by trampling. Whether these effects cascade down to other trophic levels and ecosystem processes is poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijdrr.2020.101755
Abstract: Abstract Urban infrastructures are critical, highly interconnected, and interdependent systems of services that physically tie metropolitan areas, communities, and neighbourhoods together. When such highly inter-related systems are affected by a disaster, cascading effects may result… read more here.

Cascading effects of defaunation on the coexistence of two specialized insect seed predators

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12590
Abstract: Identification of the mechanisms enabling stable coexistence of species with similar resource requirements is a central challenge in ecology. Such coexistence can be facilitated by species at higher trophic levels through complex multi-trophic interactions, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bioe.13023
Abstract: The concept of vulnerability is widely used in bioethics, particularly in research ethics and public health ethics. The traditional approach construes vulnerability as inherent in individuals or the groups to which they belong and views… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13983
Abstract: Disease outbreaks induced by humans increasingly threaten wildlife communities worldwide. Like predators, pathogens can be key top-down forces in ecosystems, initiating trophic cascades that may alter food webs. An outbreak of mange in a remote… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010624
Abstract: What is the Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) fungus? Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a water-borne chytrid fungus that infects keratinized tissues of its amphibian hosts [1]. Specifically, Bd infects the skin of subadult and adult amphibians and… read more here.
