Domestic livestock grazing directly alters ground-level habitat but its effects on arboreal habitat are poorly known. Similarly, the response to grazi...

Knowledge of the link between a vector population's pathogen-transmission potential and its biotic environment can generate more realistic forecasts o...

Implementing multi-use forest management to account for both commercial and non-commercial ecosystem services is gaining increased global recognition....

Edge effects are among the most significant consequences of forest fragmentation. Therefore, understanding the impacts of edge creation on biodiversit...

The boreal biome, representing approximately one-third of remaining global forests, provides a number of crucial ecosystem services. A particular chal...

Apex predators can benefit ecosystems through top-down control of mesopredators and herbivores. However, apex predators are often subject to lethal co...

Many studies document high levels of functional redundancy in ecosystems, suggesting that species extinctions will not be detrimental to ecosystem fun...

Intensive, large-scale agriculture promotes the conversion of natural habitats and diversified crops into monocultures, decreasing both native vegetat...

Mangroves are significant carbon (C) sinks and ecological engineers as they accumulate sediments and increase soil surface elevation. Thus, the forest...

Semi-natural grasslands are rich in biodiversity and thus important habitats for conservation, yet they are experiencing rapid declines due to agricul...
