Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Satisfying giant appetites : mechanisms of small scale foraging by large African herbivores [PDF]
, 2009 Variation in body mass allows for resource partitioning and co-existence of different species. Body mass is also seen as the main factor governing nutrient requirements in herbivores as metabolic rate and requirements have often been found to scale to ¾ ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

EXPLAINING PATTERNS OF DOMINANCE IN OLD-FIELD COMMUNITIES: TRADE-OFFS, FEEDBACKS, MUTUALISMS AND ENEMIES [PDF]
, 2013 Although one of the oldest observations within ecology is that within communities there are few common species with many uncommon and rare species, the mechanisms that shape this relationship remain elusive.

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...
