Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 A small change in salinity (5‰ vs 7‰) cause total turnover of wolf spider species composition. Wolf spider diets do not vary between species. Wolf spider diets differ between sites with or without a thick wrack bed. Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high ...
