DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71236
Abstract: ABSTRACT Nesting birds face significant risks of predation, prompting parents to invest in nest defense. However, not all environments are the same, and parental investment may vary across different environments. Urbanization often leads to habitat… read more here.

Who is the culprit: Is pest infestation responsible for crop yield losses close to semi‐natural habitats?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8046
Abstract: Abstract Semi‐natural habitats (SNHs) are becoming increasingly scarce in modern agricultural landscapes. This may reduce natural ecosystem services such as pest control with its putatively positive effect on crop production. In agreement with other studies,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.70203
Abstract: In arid and hyper‐arid regions, natural habitats with limited water availability are characterized by sparce vegetation, low host density, and harsh climatic conditions. Whether these arid natural habitats can support natural enemies and facilitate biological… read more here.
