Long transient response of vegetation dynamics after four millennia of anthropogenic impacts in an island ecosystem. [PDF]
In the Mediterranean region, island ecosystem dynamics have been influenced by millennia of anthropogenic impacts. Here, we analysed the spatio‐temporal dynamics of vegetation in sa Dragonera, where herbivory by goats, over‐logging and rat occurrence ended in the last decades.

This study investigated the impact of roads and landscape composition on the functional diversity of snakes in the Orinoco region of Colombia. The results suggest that landscape composition affects the functional diversity of both road‐killed snakes and those inhabiting the adjacent vegetation within an area of influence ranging from 250 to 2000 m. The

Towards a transformative governance of the Amazon
Abstract The crises of the Anthropocene can neither be confronted incrementally nor through short‐term, reductionist strategies. As the risk of severe, irreversible socioecological damage increases, transformative change towards achieving long‐term sustainability becomes ever‐pressing. Against this backdrop, we explore how transformative governance can

Abstract Hummingbirds in North America are currently experiencing contrasting population changes, and little is known about the factors contributing to these changes. We examined the demography of two species and one genus of hummingbirds in western North America, including Anna's Hummingbirds (Calypte anna), Black‐chinned Hummingbirds (Archilochus ...

Large carnivore hunting and the social license to hunt
Abstract The social license to operate framework considers how society grants or withholds informal permission for resource extractors to exploit publicly owned resources. We developed a modified model, which we refer to as the social license to hunt (SLH).

When can we expect negative effects of plant diversity on community biomass?
Understanding the functional consequences of biodiversity loss is critical but we need to be clear about what type of biodiversity change we are measuring and to focus on the loss of stably coexisting core species. Abstract Although experiments overwhelmingly show biodiversity increases ecosystem functioning, relationships in natural communities are ...
