Anthropogenic threats to evolutionary heritage of angiosperms in the Netherlands through an increase in high-competition environments. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2020
Abstract Present biodiversity comprises the evolutionary heritage of Earth's epochs. Lineages from particular epochs are often found in particular habitats, but whether current habitat decline threatens the heritage from particular epochs is unknown. We hypothesized that within a given region, humans threaten specifically habitats that harbor lineages ...

Review of ecological valuation and equivalency analysis methods for assessing temperate nearshore submerged aquatic vegetation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Nearshore seagrass, kelp, and other macroalgae beds (submerged aquatic vegetation [SAV]) are productive and important ecosystems. Mitigating anthropogenic impacts on these habitats requires tools to quantify their ecological value and the debits and credits of impact and mitigation.

Predator‐induced defences under tropicalisation: A biogeographic approach

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 2148-2159, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The biogeography of predator‐induced defences is an understudied area of predator–prey dynamics. Range overlap with predators that induce the response and local demographics (e.g., prey abundances) are likely to be important factors for determining the biogeographic distribution of induced defences within species.

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Primary succession in an Atlantic salt marsh: From intertidal flats to mid‐marsh platform in 35 years

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 8, Page 2909-2921, August 2021., 2021
Facilitation plays a central role in saltmarsh development in this study of primary succession. We chronicle changes in the sedimentary environment, geomorphology and plant colonisation over 35 years, as intertidal flats were transformed into a mid‐marsh platform.

Global protected‐area coverage and human pressure on tidal flats

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 933-943, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Tidal flats are a globally distributed coastal ecosystem important for supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Local to continental‐scale studies have documented rapid loss of tidal habitat driven by human impacts, but assessments of progress in their conservation are lacking.
