Two simulation models are presented which predict the impact of local and episodic applications of pesticide on the dynamics of invertebrate metapopul...

1. Mitigating the detrimental impacts of intensive farming on biodiversity requires the implementation of cost-effective conservation actions. Targete...

Livestock grazing is an important form of land use across the globe and changes in grazing pressure can have profound effects on vertebrate population...

Apex predators can benefit ecosystems through top-down control of mesopredators and herbivores. However, apex predators are often subject to lethal co...

According to the threat-sensitivity hypothesis, prey avoidance behaviour should reflect the magnitude of predation risk. Since predation can strongly ...

Stream food webs are connected with their riparian zones through cross-ecosystem movements of energy and nutrients. The use and impact of terrestrial ...

Lowland wet grassland in western Europe is often managed for breeding wading birds, especially lapwing Vanellus vanellus, redshank Tringa totanus, sni...

The expanding use of selective pest-control agents provides a unique opportunity to study food web interactions in the field while addressing major en...

Polyphagous predators, such as spiders and beetles, perform a fundamental ecosystem service as regulators of agricultural pests, particularly aphids. ...

In a study in an unsprayed cider-apple orchard in Bristol, England, on the importance of egg predation in the population dynamics of Cydia pomonella (...
