For herbivores, nutrient intake is limited by the relatively low nutritional quality of plants and
high concentrations of potentially toxic defensive compounds (plant secondary metabolites …

Analysing the impact of anthropogenic and natural river barriers on the dispersal of aquatic
and semi‐aquatic species may be critical for their conservation. Knowledge of kinship …

The use of genetic methods to quantify the effects of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on
population structure has become increasingly common. However, in today's highly …

Landscape features of anthropogenic or natural origin can influence organisms' dispersal
patterns and the connectivity of populations. Understanding these relationships is of broad …

Noninvasive genetic sampling of faecal pellets can be a valuable method for monitoring rare
and cryptic wildlife populations, like the pygmy rabbit (B rachylagus idahoensis). To …

Sagebrush ecosystems are affected by a variety of factors, and loss and degradation of
sagebrush habitat threatens many wildlife species. Federal land management and wildlife …

Processes such as climate fluctuations together with recent volcanism have driven the
diversification and local persistence of biodiversity within the Mexican highlands. We …

Conservation strategies that rely on umbrella species depend on spatial overlap with target
species of concern, yet the temporal and spatial scale at which co-occurrence is assessed is …

Small mammals provide ecosystem services, acting, for example, as pollinators and seed
dispersers. In addition, they are also disease reservoirs that can be detrimental to human …
