Effects of interactions between anthropogenic stressors and recurring perturbations on ecosystem resilience and collapse. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2023
Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Shifting paradigms and creating space for Indigenous leadership in biosecurity management and decision-making. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In New Zealand, awareness regarding protection, enhancement, and regeneration of landscapes and biodiversity is growing as the relationship between functioning and diverse ecosystems and society's health is acknowledged. This relationship is especially important for Indigenous people, who hold strong genealogical and familial ties with nature.

Effects of large mammal exclusion on seedling communities depend on plant species traits and landscape protection in human‐modified Costa Rican forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2561-2572, December 2023., 2023
Insight into the interactions between LTH‐mammals and seedling communities in forest regeneration can be instrumental in planning effective restoration efforts. We highlight the importance of landscape protection in seedling survival and the role of LTH‐mammals in promoting seedling diversity in mature forests but also in secondary successional forests.

From species lists to interactions: Network structure, not richness, guides seed dispersal management in human‐modified islands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Rainforest Fragmentation Decreases the Robustness of Plant‐Frugivore Interaction Networks

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.
Our study in northern Costa Rica found that larger forest fragments and greater forest cover boost frugivore species richness and strengthen the modularity and robustness of plant–frugivore networks, with three tanager species serving as key species. Consequently, conserving these species and maintaining larger, contiguous forest areas is essential for

Fast‐risky versus slow‐safe life histories mediate resprouting among Caribbean tropical dry forest trees

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1579-1593, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under climate change, shifting disturbance regimes necessitate understanding the linkages between biomass regeneration and plant function to assess forest resilience.

Microclimatic variation regulates seed germination phenology in alpine plant communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 249-262, January 2025.
This study combines novel laboratory experimentation based on detailed field microclimatic data to tackle the understudied topic of germination phenology in alpine habitats. The findings suggest a predictable phenological shift in the germination of alpine plants along microclimatic gradients.

Tree species abundance changes at the edges of their climatic distribution: An interplay between climate change, plant traits and forest management

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 12, Page 2785-2797, December 2024.
Our research emphasizes the crucial impact of historical forest management in shaping the current distribution of tree species. After controlling for the effect of forest management, climate change directly influenced tree demographics, favouring species based on their traits.
