Abstract Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and ...

Tri‐trophic ecology of native parasitic nest flies of birds in Tobago
Abstract Introduced parasites threaten host populations around the world. For example, introduced parasitic nest flies (Philornis downsi) have contributed to the decline of several species of Darwin's finches in the Galápagos Islands. Introduced parasites are thought to have severe effects on native hosts because the hosts do not have effective ...

Introduced fly dominance: The Galapagos necrobiome is dominated by introduced carrion flies, with Peckia chrysostoma as the most abundant species, outcompeting native and endemic species. Endemic fly vulnerability: Endemic and native carrion flies, like Sarothromyiops dasycnemis, face competition and potential displacement by introduced species ...
