Factors affecting Asiatic caracal occupancy and activity in an arid landscape; vegetation, prey and predator presence are key Open
Predator populations persisting in desert landscapes may be especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and changing climates, but many are chronically understudied and at risk of extirpation. The Asiatic subspecies of caracal, Caracal …

Quantifying taxon-specific habitat connectivity requirements of urban wildlife using structured expert judgement Open
Urban planning which enhances native biodiversity in and around cities is needed to address the impacts of urbanisation and conserve urban biodiversity. The “Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design” (BSUD) framework incorporates ecological kno…

A novel, post‐Soviet fire disturbance regime drives bird diversity and abundance on the Eurasian steppe Open
Many grassland ecosystems and their associated biodiversity depend on the interactions between fire and land‐use, both of which are shaped by socioeconomic conditions. The Eurasian steppe biome, much of it situated in Kazakhstan, contains …

<span>Post‐Soviet</span> fire and grazing regimes govern the abundance of a key ecosystem engineer on the Eurasian steppe, the yellow ground squirrel <i>Spermophilus fulvus</i> Open
Aim Grazing intensity and fire patterns across the Eurasian steppes have changed dramatically over the past decades due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and Kazakhstan is now a global fire hotspot. The implications of these cha…

Post‐Soviet shifts in grazing and fire regimes changed the functional plant community composition on the Eurasian steppe Open
Globally, grasslands are shaped by grazing and fire, and grassland plants are adapted to these disturbances. However, temperate grasslands have been hotspots of land‐use change, and how such changes affect interrelations between herbivory,…
