Human-elephant conflict is a major conservation concern in elephant range countries. A
variety of management strategies have been developed and are practiced at different scales …

The growing number of artificial structures in estuarine, coastal and marine environments is
causing “ocean sprawl”. Artificial structures do not only modify marine and coastal …

Despite the paramount role of plant diversity for ecosystem functioning, biogeochemical
cycles, and human welfare, knowledge of its global distribution is still incomplete, hampering …

Climate change is impacting virtually all marine life. Adaptation strategies will require a
robust understanding of the risks to species and ecosystems and how those propagate to …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

Restoring gene flow into small, isolated populations can alleviate genetic load and decrease
extinction risk (ie, genetic rescue), yet gene flow is rarely augmented as a conservation …

The study of islands as model systems has played an important role in the development of
evolutionary and ecological theory. The 50th anniversary of MacArthur and Wilson's …

Natural populations consist of phenotypically diverse individuals that exhibit variation in their
demographic parameters and intra-and inter-specific interactions. Recent experimental work …

Species richness increases with energy availability, yet there is little consensus as to the
exact processes driving this species–energy relationship. The most straightforward …

Evolutionary rescue occurs when adaptive evolutionary change restores positive growth to
declining populations and prevents extinction. Here we outline the diagnostic features of …
