Pre-dispersal seed predation is sometimes considered unlikely to dramatically affect plant population growth because plants are generally expected to ...

Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, overexploitation and climate change pose familiar and new challenges to conserving natural populations throughout...

Prescribed burning is used in tropical savannas to improve habitat conditions for domestic and wild herbivores, but its effects on the ecological inte...

Demographic recruitment processes, such as seed germination and seedling emergence, are critical transitional phases to the re-establishment of degrad...
