Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Effects of understorey clearing on Mediterranean forest bird communities
, 2009 Mestrado em Gestão de Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaThe increased usage of mechanical understorey clearing in Mediterranean forests to reduce fire risk has consequences on biological communities that are poorly known. This issue was

Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Daily variation in ecological interaction networks is rarely quantified due to limited temporal sampling, yet network structure may change substantially within a single day. We show that plant–bee networks exhibit strong intraday shifts in composition and structure, and that sampling distributed across key daily periods better captures network ...

Searching for rainforest understorey in wet Eucalyptus forest
, 2017 Increasing pressure from anthropogenic and natural disturbances can lead to irreversible shifts in the composition and structure of vegetation. Fire-sensitive rainforest communities in the understorey of Tasmania's wet Eucalyptus forests are particularly

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The response of bats to Australian megafires was assessed one year after fires. High severity fire had a negative effect on total bat activity and the activity or occupancy of six species, while a further 10 species was not associated with any fire covariate. Overall, bat responses were complex and not easily predicted by traits alone.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.The abundance and density of three common sycamore aphids increased under elevated CO2, although this was only statistically significant for Drepanosiphum platanoidis. The number of nymphs produced by individual D. platanoidis alates isolated in clip cages was not significantly affected, suggesting that population level response was not driven by ...

Evaluation of “restinga” plants establishment facilitated by Eucalyptus sp. at Joaquina Beach, Santa Catarina Island, SC, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 Over a period of 16 years, we verified the establishment of shrub and tree species in the understorey of patches of the exotic Eucalyptus sp., which were no more than 5m in height.
