Agricultural intensification has had dramatic effects on farmland biodiversity and has caused declines in many taxa. Habitat changes are thought to be...

Two interrelated experiments at Basel on the effect of root herbivory by the moth Agapeta zoegana on C. maculosa, under various competitive environmen...

Shrubland ecosystems are often inherently flammable due to a canopy structure favourable for fire propagation. At the same time, the fuel bed is not s...

Forest mortality related to climate change is an increasingly common global phenomenon. We provide a case study of the U.S. Southwest to investigate t...

We still lack practical guidelines for diversifying cropping systems that consider both yield and regulating functions of agroecosystems. Recent studi...

Pleiotropic effects associated with genes endowing resistance to herbicides are generally predicted to reduce plant fitness. Quantifying these effects...

Fire plays an integral role in shaping the vegetation structure of savanna ecosystems. However, the effects of fire regime characteristics, such as fr...

The numbers of deer (Capreolus capreolus, Cervus elaphus and Dama dama [fallow deer]) are rising throughout Britain and population densities frequentl...

Tropical forest understories tend to be light-limited. The red-to-far-red ratio (R:FR) is a useful and reliable index of light quality and its spatial...

Context: Rapid expansion of deer (Cervidae) populations is a concern for forest ecosystems. Despite extensive reviews on how deer affect forests, vari...
