A connectivity‐based algorithm for wood–leaf separation from terrestrial laser scanning data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 2836-2857, December 2025.
Abstract Tree architecture, characterized by the three‐dimensional (3D) arrangement of branches, plays a critical role in regulating key ecological functions such as light interception, resource transport and structural stability. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has emerged as a powerful tool for capturing detailed and accurate structural information ...

Urbanization of seed dispersal networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Rapid urban expansion is affecting the composition of wild communities and creating novel ecosystems worldwide. Seed dispersal is key for ecosystem persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, generalizations regarding the impacts of urbanization are still difficult due to the lack of studies encompassing the urban matrix.

Effectiveness of herbivore exclusion fences for plant conservation depends on management strategy and landscape context

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
Fences are widely used to restrict or reduce grazing pressure on endangered plant species or communities, and to ultimately ensure their viability. Here, we evaluate what factors determine their effectiveness at a regional scale by assessing ungulate detection (presence/absence) within exclosures and discuss its ecological and conservation implications.
