open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1686-1701, November 2024.
Abstract Opportunities to enhance ecosystem functions exist in human‐dominated working landscapes, but understanding of key drivers is often lacking in these novel environments. In Suisun Marsh, California, USA, impounded managed wetlands designed to promote waterfowl incidentally support higher plankton densities—a key resource for imperilled pelagic ...

Climate, food and humans predict communities of mammals in the United States

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Aim The assembly of species into communities and ecoregions is the result of interacting factors that affect plant and animal distribution and abundance at biogeographic scales. Here, we empirically derive ecoregions for mammals to test whether human disturbance has become more important than climate and habitat resources in structuring ...
