State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Preserving Short‐Sward Natural Grasslands May Provide Suitable Foraging Habitat for a Climate‐Threatened Alpine Species Along Ski‐Pistes

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...

Effects of Anthropogenic Introduction of Substrates on Egg Camouflage and Nesting Success in Ground‐Nesting Birds

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We show that the introduction of artificial substrates, in this case, dredged materials to act as nesting substrate for ground‐nesting birds, reduced the effectiveness of egg camouflage for Kentish plovers compared to natural substrates. However, nesting success was not impacted, likely because the community of nest predators was diverse and used a ...

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...
