From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

Oikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?
