Sown and self-seeding species in planted wildflower meadows increase floral abundance and richness in a Scottish semi-natural coastal grassland Open
BackgroundReduction in available floral resources has contributed to global pollinator decline. Suitably managed urban habitats can provide high floral resources, with potential to support pollinator populations. Here we quantify the conse…

Quantifying Phylogenetic and Nonphylogenetic Patterns in the Richness, Frequency, and Identity of Links in a Herbivore-Parasitoid Interaction Network Open
Uncovering the patterns and structure in species interactions is central to understanding community assembly and dynamics. Species interact via their phenotypes, but identifying and quantifying the traits that structure species-specific in…

Network structure and taxonomic composition of tritrophic communities of Fagaceae, cynipid gallwasps and parasitoids in Sichuan, China Open
A key question in insect community ecology is whether parasitoid assemblages are structured by the food plants of their herbivore hosts. Tritrophic communities centred on oak‐feeding cynipid gallwasps are one of the best‐studied tritrophic…

A tale of two species: the importance of native ecosystems for long-term conservation on Príncipe Island, Gulf of Guinea Open
Since it was first described in 1901, the Príncipe thrush Turdus xanthorhynchus has been rare and restricted to the native forest in the south of Príncipe Island. The Obô giant land snail Archachatina bicarinata , however, was widespread a…

Evaluating the influence of nature connection and values on conservation attitudes at a tropical deforestation frontier Open
Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change o…

Terrestrial Mollusca of the Gulf of Guinea Oceanic Islands Open
The oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea are known for their remarkable endemic species richness, and the terrestrial Mollusca group is particularly distinctive. This chapter summarizes the exploration and diversity of this group, discuss…

Who knows, who cares? Untangling ecological knowledge and nature connection among Amazonian colonist farmers Open
Conservationists often assume that connection with and caring about nature's well‐being is strongly linked to ecological knowledge. Existing evidence on the link between ecological knowledge and psychological nature connection is mixed, ge…

A checklist of the land Mollusca (Gastropoda) of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, with new records and description of new taxa Open
The first comprehensive checklists since the works of Germain in 1916 are presented for the terrestrial mollusca of São Tomé and Príncipe. The fauna currently known comprises 59 species for São Tomé, 45 for Príncipe, and a total of 86 spec…

Optimal Monitoring Strategy to Detect Rule-breaking: A Power and Simulation Approach Parameterised with Field Data from Gola Rainforest National Park, Sierra Leone Open
Protected area designation aims to protect forests from illegal activities such as hunting. However, the effectiveness of protection and how this changes over time in response to protection measures is difficult to assess, including the de…

Food for Pollinators: Quantifying the Nectar and Pollen Resources of Urban Flower Meadows Open
Planted meadows are increasingly used to improve the biodiversity and aesthetic amenity value of urban areas. Although many 'pollinator-friendly' seed mixes are available, the floral resources these provide to flower-visiting insects, and …

Impacts of local adaptation of forest trees on associations with herbivorous insects: implications for adaptive forest management Open
Disruption of species interactions is a key issue in climate change biology. Interactions involving forest trees may be particularly vulnerable due to evolutionary rate limitations imposed by long generation times. One mitigation strategy …
