How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations
ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Application of UAV Devices to Assess Post-Drought Canopy Vigor in Two Pine Forests Showing Die-Off
Rising temperatures and droughts are triggering forest die-off in climate warming hotspots such as the Mediterranean Basin. UAVs equipped with LiDAR and multispectral sensors offer a powerful tool for surveys of tree vigor at landscape level. We used UAV-

Pre-growth mortality of Abies cilicica trees and mortality models performance.
In this study, we compared tree-growth rates (basal area increment) from recently dead and living Taurus fir (Abies cilicica Carr.) trees in the Kovada lake Forest of Isparta, Turkey. For each dead tree, tree-growth rates were analyzed for the presence of pre-death growth depressions in the study area (number of sample plots = 11) in 2006.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.
