Poaching of wild South American camelids remains widespread in Argentina, even inside reserves. Such poaching could have important effects on populations and behavior, neither of which has been studied. To increase our understanding of possible [...]

Introduction of invasive species has been implicated in the decline of many native species. However, the mechanisms that underlie successful invasion and species replacement are often poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that disruption o[...]

A basic element in the success of managing species of conservation concern is knowledge of the species' habitat occupancy Often, predictive species-habitat models are developed from GIS data sources that were intended for purposes other than pre[...]

Shallow (neritic) waters close to the Italian coasts (Central Mediterranean Sea) are frequently visited by foraging loggerhead turtles, but the nesting populations which rely on this area have not been determined. To estimate the rookery origins[...]

Sudden oak death (SOD), a disease induced by the fungus-like pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, threatens to seriously reduce or eliminate several oak species endemic to the west coast of North America. We investigated how the disappearance of one o[...]

An important challenge for riparian management is to determine the extent to which landscape context influences the faunal assemblages of riparian habitats. We examined this challenge in the variegated landscapes of southeastern Queensland, Aust[...]

The endangered Cantabrian capercaillie (Tetrao uroyallus cantabricus) has undergone a severe decline during recent decades. Capercaillies require large tracts of mature forest, and are thus sensitive to landscape-level habitat alteration. The hi[...]

We investigated ways of optimising the establishment of Calluna vulgaris-dominated heathland vegetation following removal of pines from afforested heathland using a randomised block experiment. Removal of the litter layer, or both the litter and[...]
