Dispersal‐limited birds at high risk from cattle farming deforestation in tropical forests
Oikos, EarlyView.Deforestation driven by farming is a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Although this impact is well documented, assessments at local or regional scales often underestimate biodiversity loss at broader national scales by up to 60%. A key question remains: how do farming activities affect functional diversity and species traits across different ...

Ephemeral resources promote adaptive sociality in wild guppies
Oikos, EarlyView.Sociality can facilitate the discovery of novel resources, yet it can also entail costs, including increased competition, aggression, sexual harassment and disease transmission. Selection should therefore favour social flexibility as a response to changes in resource conditions, allowing individuals to adjust their social associations optimally ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Rethinking intensification: Biodiversity‐inclusive management sustains coconut yields
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Coconut palm expansion in West Africa will shape rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Our findings show that intensive practices reduce beneficial soil fungi and increase pathogens, threatening long‐term productivity. Lower‐intensity management that retains ground vegetation can sustain or boost yields while improving soil health.
