Conserv Biol
Abstract Environmental managers struggle with communicating accurate and relevant information and with gaining trust from the communities they serve, problems that are especially pronounced in minority and colonized communities. An important step in developing successful management strategies is partnering directly with the communities involved, but ...

Climate Change and Weather Extremes in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives have addressed the impacts of climate change in parts of the EMME, here we present an updated assessment, covering a wide range of timescales, phenomena and future ...

Top‐down cascading effects of seed‐feeding beetles and their parasitoids on plants and leaf herbivores

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 1500-1512, June 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract When feeding on a plant, herbivorous insects alter the quality of the plant as a food source. This affects other organisms interacting with the same plant. These so‐called ‘plant‐mediated interactions’ can be altered by parasitoids that attack the herbivores.

Seed fate in ant‐mediated dispersal: Seed dispersal effectiveness in the Ectatomma ruidum (Formicidae)—Zanthoxylum ekmanii (Rutaceae) system

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 764-775, May 2022., 2022
Using the seed dispersal effectiveness framework, we tracked seed fate in a dispersal limited system finding that ant workers (Formicidae, Ectatomma ruidum) act as secondary dispersers for the pioneer tree Zanthoxylum ekmanii (Rutaceae) whose seeds have no visible adaptation for ant dispersal.

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

Markets and the crowding out of conservation‐relevant behavior

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 816-823, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Markets are increasingly being incorporated into many aspects of daily life and are becoming an important part of the conservation solution space. Although market‐based solutions to environmental problems can result in improvements to conservation, a body of social science research highlights how markets may also have unforeseen consequences ...
