While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species
capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and …

Small rodent population cycles characterise northern ecosystems, and the cause of these
cycles has been a long‐lasting central topic in ecology, with trophic interactions currently …

Invasive species alter invaded ecosystems via direct impacts such as consumption. In turn,
an invasive species' ability to thrive in new habitats depends on its ability to exploit available …

Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) play a keystone role in the alpine meadow ecosystem
on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). For decades, alpine meadows on the QTP have …

Sexual conflict can promote the evolution of dramatic reproductive adaptations as well as
resistance to its potentially costly effects. Theory predicts that responses to sexual conflict …

Nuclear accidents underpin the need to quantify the ecological mechanisms which
determine injury to ecosystems from chronic low‐dose radiation. Here, we tested the …

While pathogens are often assumed to limit the growth of wildlife populations, experimental
evidence for their effects is rare. A lack of food resources has been suggested to enhance …

The stability of diversity of syntopic (inhabiting the same habitat in the same time) small
mammals in commensal habitats, such as farmsteads and kitchen gardens, and, as a proxy …

Fire is an important ecological disturbance that can reset ecosystems and initiate changes in
plant community composition, ecosystem biogeochemistry, and primary productivity. As …

The subject of population cycles is regarded as controversial due to a number of unsettled
questions such as whether or not cyclic patterns are governed by the same processes at …
