Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

It has been proposed that inbreeding contributes to the decline and eventual extinction of
small and isolated populations,. There is ample evidence of fitness reduction due to …

Long‐distance seed dispersal influences many key aspects of the biology of plants,
