DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4346
Abstract: Abstract Ecotones between distinct ecosystems have been the focus of many studies as they offer valuable insights into key drivers of community structure and ecological processes that underpin function. While previous studies have examined a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7558
Abstract: BACKGROUND Semi-natural habitats are generally considered to be beneficial to natural enemies of crop pest and pollinators. However, they could also be used by pests, such as the Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle (CSFB), Psylliodes chrysocephala,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00334-020-00784-0
Abstract: In a continuous, perfectly stratified sedimentary sequence which was discovered under a large sandstone overhang in northern Bohemia, Czech Republic, we analysed multiple biological remains, archaeological features and artefacts. This multi-proxy record has allowed us… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4155-x
Abstract: Understanding how resource use and life history variation influence a population's response to modified, fragmented landscapes is a major challenge for ecologists. We investigated the phenology, life history decisions and provisioning behaviour of a generalist… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108099
Abstract: Abstract Altered precipitation regimes and increased temperatures can enhance wildfire risk, particularly in semi-arid and arid ecosystems. Since these ecosystems occupy a third of the earth's land area, the immediate loss of carbon and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.12.011
Abstract: Abstract Habitat modification by fire and habitat loss via anthropogenic vegetation clearance and fragmentation both impact animal populations. Yet, there has been limited investigation as to whether animals that decline under one of these types… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109282
Abstract: Abstract Madagascar is the world's highest profile conservation priority. Yet the natural habitat of its largest biome, the 200,000 km2 Malagasy Central Highlands (MCH) remains one of the most prominent and longstanding debates in conservation: are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2016.11.006
Abstract: In the early twentieth century the woodland at Heald Brow, north-west England, was largely a tree-less pasture, but changing land management practices lead to natural tree colonization and the development of a mixed deciduous woodland… read more here.
