Indirect effects of a large mammalian herbivore on small mammal populations: Context‐dependent variation across habitat types, mammal species, and seasons
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4670
Abstract: Abstract Multiple consumer species frequently co‐occur in the same landscape and, through effects on surrounding environments, can interact in direct and indirect ways. These interactions can vary in occurrence and importance, and focusing on this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5273
Abstract: Abstract Species distributed along mountain slopes, facing contrasting habitats in short geographic scale, are of particular interest to test how ecologically based divergent selection promotes phenotypic and genetic disparities as well as to assess isolation‐by‐environment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8918
Abstract: Abstract The frequency of large, high‐severity “mega‐fires” has increased in recent decades, with numerous consequences for forest ecosystems. In particular, small mammal communities are vulnerable to post‐fire shifts in resource availability and play critical roles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-018-1224-8
Abstract: Fire is a major disturbance event that affects biomes worldwide, altering vegetation structure and flora and fauna assemblages. Here, we investigated the effects of an extensive wildfire (~ 6240 ha) on small mammal assemblages in savanna woodland… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02089-0
Abstract: Logging and mining are widespread in most West African countries and considering their socio-economic importance, little is known about their ecological impacts. In this study, we investigated the effects of chainsaw milling (logging) and artisanal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-017-0521-z
Abstract: ContextNatal dispersal links population dynamics to landscape connectivity. Understanding how organisms perceive barriers to movement, or landscape resistance, during natal dispersal is important to conserve and manage populations threatened by fragmentation and habitat loss.ObjectivesWe aimed… read more here.
