As above, so below: A perspective into the application of land‐forest monitoring methods for the assessment of marine animal forests

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

Modular and scalable system for 3D behavioural assays of olfactory and gustatory preferences in flying insects

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant–pollinator interactions are fundamental to the functioning of natural ecosystems and the enhancement of agricultural productivity. An effective support of pollinator communities necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying pollinator attraction and nutritional preferences.

Investigating the Effects of Environmental Uncertainty, Business Strategy and Management Control Systems on Organisational Learning and Performance

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of environmental uncertainty, business strategy and management control systems on organisational learning and business performance. This study finds that environmental uncertainty is positively related to the intensity of the product differentiation strategy, and the intensity of the product differentiation ...

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...
