Understanding which factors determine tick-borne disease hazard can contribute to effective disease control. In Europe, the hazard of the pathogens Bo...

Invasions by alien plants into unspoiled ecosystems are a cause for concern because the pristine systems are important stores of biodiversity. Indeed,...

Fire-herbivory feedbacks strongly influence the formation of grazing lawns in savanna ecosystems. Preliminary findings suggest that small-scale (< ...

Hundreds of recent studies have voiced concern over the negative impacts of non-target pesticides on pollinator health. However, pesticide loads are h...

Disease epidemics typically begin as an outbreak of a relatively small, spatially explicit population of infected individuals (focus), in which diseas...

The idea that variable fire regimes (pyrodiversity) may increase habitat heterogeneity and, consequently, increase biodiversity at the landscape level...

The concept of biodiversity conservation relies primarily on protected areas. Yet, protected areas are influenced by the surrounding anthropogenic mat...

Many lowland rivers in Western Europe have been substantially modified to aid land drainage and support the intensification of agriculture. Although t...

Maintaining developmental heterogeneity of ecological communities within landscapes is crucial for sustainable native forest management. Consequently,...

Short-term experiments cannot characterize how long-lived, invasive shrubs influence ecological properties that can be slow to change, including nativ...
