DOI: 10.1080/21683565.2024.2405890
Abstract: ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of herbivores on croplands is critical to developing sustainable agricultural landscapes. Here, we test the hypothesis that field size and landscape structure modulate the levels of herbivory in cowpea and maize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.2501
Abstract: Promoting urban green spaces is an effective strategy to increase biodiversity in cities. However, our understanding of how local and landscape factors influence trophic interactions in these urban contexts remains limited. Here, we sampled cavity-nesting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13606
Abstract: The increasing conversion of agricultural and natural areas to human-dominated urban landscapes is predicted to lead to a major decline in biodiversity worldwide. Two conditions that typically differ between urban environments and the surrounding landscape… read more here.
