The expansion of oil palm plantations at the expense of tropical forests is causing declines in many species and altering ecosystem functions. Maintai...

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

Specialist seed-feeders are widely used in weed biological control, but seed predation rates are frequently insufficient to cause the required impacts...

Seed predation can cause substantial losses of newly produced weed seeds and can therefore be important in regulating weed densities. The impact on we...

Accelerating loss and degradation of tropical forests has led to a pressing need to understand the conservation value of remaining forests. Whereas mo...

While many studies have investigated non-target impacts of neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), they usually take place within a single crop and focu...

Wildfires are the principal disturbance in the boreal forest, and their size and frequency are increasing as the climate warms. Impacts of fires on bo...

Fragmentation of tropical forests is increasing globally, with negative impacts for biodiversity. In Southeast Asia, expansion of oil palm agriculture...

Globally, there is increasing interest in tree planting, leading to many country-level commitments to reforestation. In the UK, current commitments wo...
