• Animal migration to northern latitudes: environmental changes and increasing threats 

      Kubelka, Vojtěch; Sandercock, Brett; Székely, Tamás; Freckleton, Robert P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Every year, many wild animals undertake long-distance migration to breed in the north, taking advantage of seasonally high pulses in food supply, fewer parasites, and lower predation pressure in comparison with equatorial ...
    • Co-adaptation is key to coexisting with large carnivores 

      Carter, Neil H.; Linnell, John Durrus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      There is a pressing need to integrate large carnivore species into multi-use landscapes outside protected areas. However, an unclear understanding of coexistence hinders the realization of this goal. Here, we provide a ...
    • Defining ecological buffer mechanisms should consider diverse approaches 

      Milles, Alexander; Bielcik, Milos; Banitz, Thomas; Gallagher, Cara A.; Jeltsch, Florian; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Oro, Daniel; Radchuk, Viktoriia; Grimm, Volker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In their response letter, Gascoigne et al. propose a relevant approach to characterizing ecological buffer mechanisms, akin to the study of buffer mechanisms in chemistry [1]. Their chemistry-inspired viewpoint enables ...
    • Emerging technologies revolutionise insect ecology and monitoring 

      van Klink, Roel; August, Tom; Bas, Yves; Bodesheim, Paul; Bonn, Aletta; Fossøy, Frode; Høye, Toke T.; Jongejans, Eelke; Menz, Myles H.M.; Miraldo, Andreia; Roslin, Tomas; Roy, Helen E.; Ruczyński, Ireneusz; Schigel, Dmitry; Schäffler, Livia; Sheard, Julie K.; Svenningsen, Cecilie; Tschan, Georg F.; Wäldchen, Jana; Zizka, Vera M.A.; Åström, Jens; Bowler, Diana Elizabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, but their small size and high diversity have always made them challenging to study. Recent technologi- cal advances have the potential to revolutionise insect ecology ...
    • Global trends in aquatic animal tracking with acoustic telemetry 

      Matley, Jordan K.; Klinard, Natalie V.; Martins, Ana P. Barbosa; Aarestrup, Kim; Aspillaga, Eneko; Cooke, Steven J.; Cowley, Paul D.; Heupel, Michelle R.; Lowe, Christopher G.; Lowerre-Barbieri, Susan K.; Mitamura, Hiromichi; Moore, Jean-Sebastien; Simpfendorfer, Colin A.; Stokesbury, Michael J.W.; Taylor, Matthew D.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Vandergoot, Christopher S.; Fisk, Aaron T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Acoustic telemetry (AT) is a rapidly evolving technique used to track the movements of aquatic animals. As the capacity of AT research expands it is important to optimize its relevance to management while still pursuing ...
    • Local buffer mechanisms for population persistence 

      Milles, Alexander; Banitz, Thomas; Bielcik, Milos; Frank, Karin; Gallagher, Cara A.; Jeltsch, Florian; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Oro, Daniel; Radchuk, Viktoriia; Grimm, Volker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Assessing and predicting the persistence of populations is essential for the conservation and control of species. Here, we argue that local mechanisms require a better conceptual synthesis to facilitate a more holistic ...
    • Recommendations for quantitative uncertainty consideration in ecology and evolution 

      Simmonds, Emily Grace; Adjei, Kwaku Peprah; Cretois, Benjamin; Dickel, Lisa; González-Gil, Ricardo; Laverick, Jack H; Mandeville, Caitlin Marie; Mandeville, Elisabeth G.; Ovaskainen, Otso Tapio; Sicacha Parada, Jorge Armando; Skarstein, Emma; O'Hara, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ...

      Ecological and evolutionary studies are currently failing to achieve complete and consistent reporting of model-related uncertainty. We identify three key barriers – a focus on parameter-related uncertainty, obscure ...
    • Understanding and overcoming obstacles in adaptive management 

      Månsson, Johan; Eriksson, Louise; Hodgson, Isla; Elmberg, Johan; Bunnefeld, Nils; Hessel, Rebecca; Johansson, Maria; Liljebäck, Niklas; Nilsson, Lovisa; Olsson, Camilla; Pärt, Tomas; Sandström, Camilla; Tombre, Ingunn; Redpath, Steve M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Adaptive management (AM) is widely promoted to improve management of natural resources, yet its implementation is challenging. We show that obstacles to the im- plementation of AM are related not only to the AM process per ...
