Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.We developed a low‐cost, stratified subterranean trap for live capture of soil macrofauna in the sandy, dryland soils of the southern Kalahari. The subterranean traps sampled below‐ground taxa and life stages that were rarely represented in pitfall traps (including termites, hypogaeic ants and beetle larvae), showed strong seasonal peaks in richness ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Large herbivores play key roles in ecosystems by promoting plant diversity, dispersing seeds, regulating nutrient cycling, and shaping vegetation structure. Since the Late Pleistocene, their declines have led to profound ecosystem changes. While often viewed as problematic, alien herbivores may partly compensate for these losses; yet their

Foraging investment in a long‐lived herbivore and vulnerability to coursing and stalking predators
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 20, Page 10147-10155, October 2018., 2018 Foraging is necessary for herbivores to grow and reproduce, but foraging also causes tooth erosion, which shortens life span. How herbivores negotiate this trade‐off has been primarily explored in systems without large predators. When selecting prey, coursing and stalking carnivores exploit unique vulnerabilities that might arise from variable ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.The relative importance of the different processes that determine the distribution of species and the assembly of communities is a key question in ecology. The distribution of any individual species is affected by a wide range of environmental variables as well as through interactions with other species; the resulting distributions determine the pool ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2024.We use data from the CITES Trade Database and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to evaluate the merits of the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill that was discussed in the UK Parliament between 2022 and 2024. We find that the proposed legislation is disproportionate because trophy hunting is not a major threat to any species or subspecies ...

Freshwater megafauna shape ecosystems and facilitate restoration
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1141-1163, August 2024.ABSTRACT Freshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami, crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population declines and range contractions worldwide. Although there is an increasing number of studies investigating the causes of megafauna losses in fresh waters, little attention
