The impact from transportation corridors on surrounding habitat often reaches far beyond the
edge of the corridor. The altered disturbance regime in plant communities along corridor …

Context Seed-dispersing animals often move along “linear gaps”(linear anthropogenic
features such as roads and trails that contain little vegetation), especially in densely …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …

Aim To enhance current attempts to understand biodiversity patterns by using an historical
ecology approach to highlight the over‐riding influence of land‐use history in creating past …

Roads corridors are a conspicuous part of most landscapes, which are gaining greater
recognition for their role in nature conservation. However roads cause wildlife mortality, alter …

Anthropogenic activities can promote plant invasions by changing habitat conditions and the
dispersal of invasive plant propagules. Invasions are often more common near roads and in …

Spatial patterning of plant distributions has long been recognised as being important in
understanding underlying ecological processes. Ripley's K-function is a frequently used …

Australian Acacia are invasive in many parts of the world. Despite significant mechanical
and biological efforts to control their invasion and spread, soil-stored seed banks prevent …

Aim Encroachment or densification by woody plants affects natural ecosystems around the
world. Many studies have reported encroachment in temperate Australia, particularly in …

The success of pro-active management of invasive plants depends on the ability to rapidly
detect invasive populations and individuals. However, the factors important for detection …
