Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Oikos, EarlyView.The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

Ecological study of chalk streams. Lambourn project. Interim report October 1977 to April 1979 [PDF]
, 1979 Few detailed studies have been made on the ecology of the chalk streams. A complex community of plants and animals is present and much more information is required to achieve an understanding of the requirements and interactions of all the species. It is

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Archaeological sites are not only of cultural and historical significance but also contribute to biodiversity conservation. Often marked by limited human disturbance and distinct ecological conditions, these areas serve as important refuges for various plant and animal species, playing a vital role in global conservation efforts.
