Apex predators can suppress smaller bodied "mesopredators." In doing so, they can provide refuge to species preyed upon by mesopredators, which is par...

Biodiversity conservation strategies increasingly target maintaining evolutionary history and the resilience of ecosystem function, not just species r...

1. Accurate evaluations of habitat preference are key to understanding optimal conditions for wildlife survival and reproduction. Habitat selection, h...

Dry matter digestibility is a critical component of herbage nutritive value, a major service delivered by grasslands. The aim of this study was to tes...

1. Prey distribution and density drive predator habitat usage and foraging behaviour. Understanding ecological relationships is necessary for effectiv...

Ontogenetic dispersal of animals has been observed among many ecosystems, but its full ecological significance is poorly understood. By modelling the ...

The effects of severe exotic disturbance (construction, heavy-vehicle activity, landfill operations, soil excavation and tillage, occurring 1-71 years...

Forest clearance is a pervasive disturbance worldwide, but many of its impacts are regarded as transient, diminishing in intensity as forest recovers....

There is compelling evidence that anthropogenic disturbance can decrease biodiversity and impair ecological functioning. A major challenge to biodiver...

The density of large herbivores is a major driver of forest ecosystem structure and function in conjunction with episodic disturbances, especially in ...
