Human disturbances affect the topology of food webs
Ecology Letters, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2476-2488, November 2022., 2022 We predict that food webs with scale‐free degree distributions should be favourably selected by random disturbances (in regions less disturbed by human pressure) while food webs with random degree distributions would be associated with targeted disturbances (in areas with more human pressure).

Spatial dependence in the technical efficiency of local banks
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 685-716, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Cooperative banks primarily compete with one another because they target niche markets that large banks typically ignore. The current study shows that in this competitive environment, the connection between financial intermediaries affects the operational efficiency of small banks. The findings indicate that the capitalization, diversification

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Conflicts between humans and mammalian predators are globally widespread and increasing, creating a long‐lasting challenge for conservation and local livelihoods. Protection interventions, which are essential to conflict mitigation, should be based on solid evidence of effectiveness produced by robust study designs.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 681-694, April 2020., 2020 To conserve pollinators and help protect pollination services, our expert elicitation highlights the need to create a variety of interconnected, well‐managed habitats that complement each other in the resources they offer. To achieve this the Common Agricultural Policy post‐2020 should take a holistic view to implementation that integrates the ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2379-2394, August 2026.Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.To overcome challenges in studying elusive benthic elasmobranchs, a comprehensive, rapid methodology was developed and applied to 133 Spiny Butterfly Rays in Gran Canaria and Tenerife between 2020 and 2024. This approach integrated internal tagging with acoustic and external T‐bar tags, alongside biological sampling and ultrasound assessments, all ...
