Structural complexity of hard substrates shapes shallow marine benthic communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Structurally complex habitats offer niche diversity, with varying biotic and abiotic conditions, generally leading to higher biodiversity compared to simpler habitats. However, our understanding of the response of ecological communities to increased complexity and the underlying drivers remain ambiguous due to discrepancies in how complexity is ...

Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

A fisher's perspective: Using half a century of local fisher knowledge to identify socio‐economic, ecological and legislative trends influencing angelshark (Squatina squatina) records in Wales

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of marine fisheries has broadly influenced the ecology, distribution and abundance of coastal elasmobranchs. However, quantifying these interactions remains a challenge due to the scarcity of historical records. Fishers' local ecological knowledge (LEK) is an essential tool in fisheries research, providing an avenue to regain ...

Co‐creating solutions to the hidden impacts of climate change on Canada's Pacific kelp forests

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Co‐designed research driven by the information needs of coastal communities can enhance social‐ecological resilience to climate change. On the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, the 2014–2015 marine heatwave triggered an outbreak of an encrusting bryozoan (Membranipora spp.) on giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), an ecologically ...

‘Nature of the year’ in Germany: An effective policy to raise public awareness?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Building public awareness for conservation can be done in different ways. However, the impact of the conservation marketing techniques is not well understood. The ‘nature of the year’ award is a public awareness building strategy for conservation in Germany, which aims to draw attention to annually selected species and their habitats. In order
