The ecosystem service of predation of weed seeds by naturally occurring seed-eating animals, including ants, in agricultural fields has been suggested...

Urbanization is a growing threat to ecological communities and has become a leading cause of population extirpations in a wide range of taxa. Because ...

Introduced seed dispersers can shift seed predation dynamics in native species, impacting native plant establishment and spread. We studied the effect...

The effects of biological invasions on native biodiversity have resulted in a range of policy and management initiatives to minimize their impacts. Al...

Migratory waterfowl facilitate long-distance dispersal of zoonotic pathogens and are increasingly recognized as contributing to the geographic spread ...

Selective logging is pervasive in the tropics and is among the most urgent threats to tropical biodiversity. The vast areas of logged tropical forest ...

In order to predict the optimum weeding period, a realistic estimate is needed of the size, timing and duration of a flush of weed emergence in a crop...

Rewilding is an emerging paradigm in restoration science and is increasingly gaining popularity as a cost-effective ecosystem restoration option. A re...

A simple model is proposed relating numbers of dispersing insects to distance from a release point and time. One form of the model, which is explained...

The conversion of tropical forests to farmland is a key driver of the current extinction crisis. With the present rate of deforestation unlikely to su...
