Birds may respond to habitat at multiple scales, ranging from microhabitat structure to landscape composition. North American grassland bird distribut...

Streams and riparian zones are highly heterogeneous ecosystems. Their high biodiversity is promoted by variable flow velocities and water depths, stro...

Applied nucleation, mostly based upon planting tree islands, has been proposed as a cost-effective strategy to meet ambitious global forest and landsc...

Increasing evidence suggests that high biomass and litterfall do not necessarily bring about soil organic carbon (SOC) sinks, contrary to the assumpti...

Biological pest control has become one of the central principles of ecological intensification in agriculture. However, invertebrate natural enemies w...

Overgrazing has resulted in widespread decline in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in grasslands world-wide in recent decades. However, few stud...

Demographic recruitment processes, such as seed germination and seedling emergence, are critical transitional phases to the re-establishment of degrad...

A common prediction based on ecological theory is that natural populations of insect predators will be more abundant and effective in diverse plant as...

The management of migratory taxa relies on the knowledge of their movements. Among them, ontogenetic habitat shift, from nurseries to adult habitats, ...

Biodiversity linked to traditionally managed semi-natural grasslands is declining, despite conservation efforts. At the same time, the area of novel g...
