Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

Ecography, EarlyView.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Increasing concentrate feeding level in early lactation dairy cows fed cut herbage linearly decreased methane yield and intensity

Animal Nutrition
The use of supplementary feeds, including concentrates, on New Zealand dairy farms has increased in recent decades and this could have mitigated methane (CH4) emissions by decreasing the forage-to-concentrate ratio. The forage-to-concentrate ratio in the

Co‐dominant species fail to compensate after 13‐year of dominant species removal in a Tibetan alpine grassland

Ecography, EarlyView.
To better understand the dynamics of community resilience, it is crucial to examine the role of dominant species in maintaining ecosystem functions. Dominant species, due to their high abundance, are considered to maintain productivity after species loss.

Implications of Spatially Variable Costs and Habitat Conversion Risk in Landscape-Scale Conservation Planning [PDF]

, 2018
‘‘Strategic habitat conservation’’ refers to a process used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop cost-efficient strategies for conserving wildlife populations and their habitats.

Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...

Succession stages‐dependent shifts in grassland community stability from asynchrony to population stability mediated by nitrogen enrichment

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...

Evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions and design of mitigation options: A whole farm approach based on farm management data and mechanistic models [PDF]

, 2008
Agricultural activities are important sources of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2). In the European Union, the agricultural sector contributes approximately 10% of the total emitted greenhouse gases (GhG). We search

Multifunctional Organic and Inorganic Composite Coating for Outdoor Droplet Energy Collection and Water Quality Monitoring

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The difluoropyridine‐based benzoxazine (BA‐fa) was synthesized through a Mannich reaction, and a MoO3‐doped PBA‐fa complex layered DEG was fabricated using an ultrasonic spray coating method, which can not only generate electricity in rainy days but also effectively prevent fires on building roofs, self‐cleaning the surface of buildings on rainy days ...
