Abstract Forests and woodlands are important for biodiversity, climate change mitigation and the provision of services including recreation, timber and non‐timber forest products. Land use policies currently aim to increase forest cover while also maximising the benefits of forests for people and improving community engagement with the process of ...

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.

Biodiversity and bird welfare in evaluation of tourism impact and sustainability in arid environment
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is rapidly expanding in arid regions, raising concerns about its long‐term sustainability and potential impacts on biodiversity. However, empirical evidence evaluating its effects on both species diversity and animal welfare remains limited.

ABSTRACT Understanding fine‐scale surface changes is crucial for quantifying ecosystem dynamics and detecting landscape changes. Palsas, comparably small peatland elevations with an ice‐rich permafrost core, undergo natural cycles of growth and degradation. They can also serve as indicators of climate change in subarctic regions. Because they typically
