Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Seeding in single species aggregations promotes evenness of diverse shrub species in Banksia woodlands in the first year of growth

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...
