Fisheries management influences phytoplankton biomass of Amazonian floodplain lakes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 731-743, April 2021., 2021
Tropical freshwaters fisheries typically assume that fish biomass is controlled by bottom‐up mechanisms, so that overexploitation of large predators would not affect overall ecosystem productivity. Our results, however, show that top‐down forces are important drivers of primary productivity in tropical lakes, above and beyond the effects of bottom‐up ...

Limited biomass recovery from gold mining in Amazonian forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 9, Page 1730-1740, September 2020., 2020
To achieve large‐scale restoration targets, Guyana and other Amazonian countries will be challenged to remediate previously mined lands. The recovery process is highly dependent on nitrogen availability rather than mercury contamination, affecting woody biomass regrowth.

Mammals with large home ranges, low reproductive rates and small body sizes are most vulnerable to roads: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3227-3239, December 2025.
Road mitigation for mammals should ideally be informed by site‐level knowledge and generally involve prioritizing species with the combination of larger home ranges, lower reproductive rates and smaller body sizes. To protect these vulnerable mammals from roads, we should maintain low road densities and instal small‐mesh mitigation fencing along roads.

Human Footprint Halves Tail Loss Rates in Geckos Worldwide

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic changes alter predator–prey systems worldwide. Defensive behaviour is shaped by the costs and benefits for individuals, and we hypothesise that tail shedding, as an escape strategy, has a higher cost for animals in human‐modified environments compared to natural landscapes. Therefore, our central objective was to evaluate the

Limited evidence of biodiversity spillover from forest fragments into oil palm plantations in the Amazon

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1939-1952, August 2025.
Converting primary forest into oil palm plantations results in substantial biodiversity losses, highlighting the urgent need to preserve the few remaining large forest fragments in the area. Measures that enhance matrix permeability are essential to conserving the evolutionary and functional integrity of Amazonian landscapes and mitigating the negative

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Clustered and rotating designs as a strategy to obtain precise detection rates in camera trapping studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1649-1661, July 2024.
Our research provides a guideline for wildlife managers and researchers to improve the precision of camera trap detection rates and optimize resource allocation. In general, the study design should accommodate the behaviour of the target species (e.g.
