The survival of butterfly populations depends on successful oviposition strategies. The
limited mobility of early life stages requires females to select sites that reflect larval …

Ecotones are often species-rich and harbour specific resources and environmental
conditions for invertebrates. Despite their functional significance for conservation, they are …

There is considerable research on the effects of soil-disturbing ecosystem engineers in semi-
natural Central European grasslands in terms of plant species diversity, soil properties and …

Abstract The Duke of Burgundy butterfly has undergone considerable range contractions
across Europe and since the 1970s has lost around 84% of its former distribution in the UK …

Studies of at-risk species are likely to have greater conservation impact if they: involve
managers in question formulation, set specific management or restoration goals, and are …

Abstract Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek, Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) has
experienced a range-wide decline resulting in six reported extant sites. Critical knowledge …

Hydropower has long been an effective form of renewable energy, but the development of
the resource has negatively impacted fishes throughout the world. Formulating recovery …

Restoring habitat degraded by invasive species is often a primary focus of conservation
strategies, yet few studies investigate the effects of invasive species control on multiple at …

Selective herbicides are a conservation tool employed to reduce invasive vegetation and
improve habitat for native plants and animals. However, herbicides may negatively affect …

Habitat restoration is critical to the conservation of rare species. However, restoration efforts
often proceed without knowledge of their effects on these species. We investigated the …
