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

Small rodents in general and the multimammate rat (Mastomys natalensis [Praomys natalensis]) in particular cause major economic losses in natural gras...

It has previously been hypothesized that low rates of attack by natural enemies may contribute to the invasiveness of exotic plants. We tested this hy...

The conversion of natural habitats into anthropogenic uses is a key driver of global biodiversity loss, but effects can vary among taxa and diversity ...

Tropical old-growth forests continue to decline worldwide, resulting in a huge loss of biodiversity. The extent to which the expansion of second-growt...

The understanding of large-scale patterns in expanding populations of alien invasive plants can be used to infer the environmental limiting factors, h...

Tropical savannas are known for the fire-prone ecosystems, yet, riparian evergreen forests are another important landscape feature. These forests usua...

Many ecosystems are experiencing increased fire frequencies and species invasions that can erode their resilience and cause a shift to alternative sta...

Biotic communities in heterogeneous agricultural landscapes can be shaped by both the land use of local patches and the structure of surrounding lands...

Invasion of exotic species is a global challenge and the potential for adverse effects on local biodiversity is particularly high in protected areas. ...
