The use of linear mixed effects models (LMMs) is increasingly common in the analysis of
biological data. Whilst LMMs offer a flexible approach to modelling a broad range of data …

Abstract Environmental enrichment (“EE”) is expected to alleviate the negative effects of
stress on cognitive performance. However, there are complexities associated with …

Camera traps have become a ubiquitous tool in ecology and conservation. They are
routinely deployed in wildlife survey and monitoring work, and are being advocated as a tool …

The factors responsible for variation in dispersal distances across species remain poorly
understood. Previous comparative studies found differing results and equivocal support for …

Full‐subsets information theoretic approaches are becoming an increasingly popular tool for
exploring predictive power and variable importance where a wide range of candidate …

It is largely unknown how South America's Andean forests affect the global carbon cycle,
and thus regulate climate change. Here, we measure aboveground carbon dynamics over …

Mammalian frugivores are critical seed dispersers, but many are under threat of extinction.
Futhermore, the impact of past and future defaunation on plant assemblages has yet to be …

Plant diversity can increase biomass production in plot‐scale studies, but applying these
results to ecosystem carbon (C) storage at larger spatial and temporal scales remains …
