Remnant trees within the non-forest matrix are common structures of forest landscapes which have high conservation value due to their supposed roles as biological legacies and stepping stones in fragmented forest scenarios. Fleshy-fruited remnan[...]

Agricultural landuse alters landscape pattern, with important consequences for native species. Complex responses to changes in landscape pattern may be observed for species with strong inter-specific relationships. We investigate how the abundan[...]

The UK has the highest density of the worldwide distribution of its native bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta (Liliaceae), and the prevalence of alien bluebells (hybrids or 'Spanish') has been interpreted as an urgent threat. To assess the pote[...]
