Using individual‐based trait frequency distributions to forecast plant‐pollinator network responses to environmental change
Determining how and why organisms interact is fundamental to understanding ecosystem
responses to future environmental change. To assess the impact on plant‐pollinator …

Distribution of common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) activity is altered by airflow disruption generated by wind turbines
The mechanisms underlying bat and bird activity peaks (attraction) or losses (avoidance)
near wind turbines remain unknown. Yet, understanding them would be a major lever to limit …

From virtue to sin: Is the installation of bat boxes an effective conservation measure or a potential pitfall for vulnerable bat species?
Bat boxes are a key element in bat conservation policies being very popular. However, it is a
biased action that is only favourable for a few bat species. In this manuscript, we …
