Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

The relationship between plant invasions and global change is complex. Whereas some
components of global change, such as rising CO 2, usually promote invasion, other …

Conservation biological control (CBC) is a sustainable approach to pest management that
can contribute to a reduction in pesticide use as part of an Integrated Pest Management …

Given the rate of projected environmental change for the 21st century, urgent adaptation and
mitigation measures are required to slow down the on-going erosion of biodiversity. Even …

Ecological models are important for environmental decision support because they allow the
consequences of alternative policies and management scenarios to be explored. However …

Background and Aims Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions,
with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems …

Integral projection models (IPM s) use information on how an individual's state influences its
vital rates–survival, growth and reproduction–to make population projections. IPM s are …

Drivers behind food security and crop protection issues are discussed in relation to food
losses caused by pests. Pests globally consume food estimated to feed an additional one …

As the single opportunity for plants to move, seed dispersal has an important impact on plant
fitness, species distributions and patterns of biodiversity. However, models that predict …

Positive and negative associations between species are a key outcome of community
assembly from regional species pools. These associations are difficult to detect and can be …
