Threats of future climate change and land use to vulnerable tree species native to Southern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Climate and land-use changes are expected to drive high rates of environmental change and biodiversity loss in Mediterranean ecosystems this century. This paper compares the relative future impacts of land use and climate change on two vulnerable tree ...

Managed realignment for habitat compensation: Use of a new intertidal habitat by fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Managed realignment has become an increasingly common mechanism to increase the efficiency and sustainability of flood defences, reduce defence costs or compensate for habitat losses. This study investigated the use by fishes of a new intertidal habitat,

Multiple habitat use by declining migratory birds necessitates joined‐up conservation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Many species depend on multiple habitats at different points in space and time. Their effective conservation requires an understanding of how and when each habitat is used, coupled with adequate protection.

Bees use anthropogenic habitats despite strong natural habitat preferences [PDF]

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, 2018
Abstract Aim Habitat loss and alteration are widely considered one of the main drivers of current pollinator diversity loss. Yet little is known about habitat importance and preferences for major groups of pollinators, although this information is crucial to anticipate and mitigate the current ...

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...
