Aim Mapping species distributions is a crucial but challenging requirement of wildlife
management. The frequent need to sample vast expanses of potential habitat increases the …

The extinction of ecological functions is increasingly considered a major component of
biodiversity loss, given its pervasive effects on ecosystems, and it may precede the …

Cavity-nesting animals and their nest trees are linked in interspecific facilitation networks
known as nest webs, which play key roles in forest function but vary across biomes and with …

While Psittaciformes (parrots and allies) are well-recognized as highly-mobile seed
predators, their role as seed dispersers has been overlooked until very recently. It remains to …

Abstract European Hare (Lepus europaeus), like many invasive species, have declined in
much of their native range but flourished in non-native regions (eg South America). Previous …

Premise of research. Sexual functions in gymnosperms are mostly performed by separate
reproductive structures, which largely reduces sexual interference and sets the scene for …

The global phenomenon of introduced species has caused serious, negative impacts on
biodiversity and human productive activities. Often, introduced species become invasive and …

While there has been considerable research on the interactions between invasive and
native species, and on the impact of invasive species on the resident community, there has …

In fragile ecosystems, the introduction of exotic species could alter some ecological
processes. The Austral parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineous) shows close ecological and …

The European rabbit plays a major role in seed dispersal in its native environment. We
evaluated its ecological interactions with plants through the dispersal of seeds by …
