Forest cover enhances pest control by birds and bats independently of vineyard management intensity
Our results highlight the importance of bats and birds in reducing herbivory and increasing economic benefits in vineyards. Their presence and foraging activity can be promoted by connected landscapes incorporating hedgerows and small groups of trees as well as native, deciduous forest patches that can potentially increase the amount of food sources ...

Our findings not only reveal that native saltmarsh restoration is a blue carbon‐friendly ecological restoration approach following S. alterniflora removal, but also highlight the critical trade‐offs between carbon losses from invasive species removal and the carbon offset achieved through restoring native vegetation, providing actionable guidance for ...

Weed‐suppressive ability and species dominance in intercropping: A meta‐regression
Our findings provide further evidence for the selection effect being the key mechanism explaining why intercrops suppress weeds more than the average of their pure stands. While the dominance of a stronger weed suppressor enhances weed suppression, it may also suppress the weaker species, potentially compromising overall production.

Industrial oil palm plantations threaten biodiversity in Southeast Asia, yet some native species are highly adaptable within these environments. Our study tracked four male leopard cats (Prionailurus javanensis) with GPS collars in the Kinabatangan floodplain, Sabah, revealing average home ranges of 8.60 km² (95% MCP) and 5.39 km² (95% a‐LoCoH), with ...
