Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

More than US $21 billion is spent annually on biodiversity conservation. Despite their
importance for preventing or slowing extinctions and preserving biodiversity, conservation …

Biological invasions have been unambiguously shown to be one of the major global causes
of biodiversity loss. Despite the magnitude of this threat and recent scientific advances, this …

Wild boar are now present on all continents except Antarctica and can greatly affect
community structure and ecosystem function. Their destructive feeding habits, primarily …

Invasive alien species (IASs) on islands have broad impacts across biodiversity, agriculture,
economy, health and culture, which tend to be stronger than on continents. Across small …

Ecological and socioeconomic impacts from biological invasions are rapidly escalating
worldwide. While effective management underpins impact mitigation, such actions are often …

The ability to predict the responses of ecological communities and individual species to
human-induced environmental change remains a key issue for ecologists and conservation …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Birds are one of the most diverse groups of ecosystem service providers, whose ecological
functions range from creating soil to shaping primate behavior, Nevertheless, the impression …
