Environmental changes and anthropogenic pressures significantly influence both the tree layer and natural regeneration within forest ecosystems. Protected areas represent essential territories for the maintenance and conservation of species within fo...

Understanding how environmental conditions shape the functional composition of ecological communities is a central goal in community ecology. In this study, we apply this framework to the reptile and amphibian assemblages within Greece’s Mount...

Water scarcity, intensified by climate change, limits the growth and survival of threatened tree species, such as Paubrasilia echinata (Lam.) Gagnon, H.C.Lima & G.P.Lewis. This study analyzed the effects of water availability in the soil on the m...

Several honeybee species can coexist within a given geographical region; however, their interactions and the extent to which their foraging niches overlap remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we assessed niche overlap among four honeybee sp...

Globally, sea turtles face significant threats from human activities, yet detailed information on their habitat use and specific anthropogenic impacts remains limited, particularly in key marine protected areas like Kenya’s Diani-Chale National...

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [...]

Knowledge of weed community structure in agricultural systems is important for sustainable management, especially for evaluating the effects of different herbicides on soybean–corn succession crops. This study evaluated, over two crop seasons,...

Coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable to human and climatic pressures, yet long-term ecological changes remain poorly quantified. We analyzed four decades (1980–2020) of data from fisheries from six lagoons in the Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece, using...

Invasive alien plant species pose significant threats to biodiversity and the ecological functioning of ecosystems, necessitating targeted clearing strategies. This study investigated the short-term recovery of native vegetation following the control...

Understanding how plant community characteristics and soil properties vary along altitudinal gradients is essential for ecosystem conservation, restoration, and for predicting ecosystem responses to global environmental change. This study investigate...

In northwestern Ecuador, where more than 90% of the original forest cover has been lost, it is unknown how soil chemistry influences bat diversity. This study evaluated bat diversity, non-herbaceous plant community structure, and soil nutrients in 30...

Chestnut is an important economic plant for ecology and farmers in mountainous areas in China. We conducted surveys and experiments to assess the economic value of the pollination service provided by insect pollinators for chestnuts via the Toolkit f...

We surveyed bee communities across an organic conifer tree farm landscape in northern Idaho to assess how managed forest–agriculture mosaics support pollinator diversity. Bees were collected from farm fields, adjacent conservation forests, and...

Generally, all European countries have reported a decreasing number of field birds. The cause of this trend is the intensification of agriculture, including inconsiderate landscape and drainage measures. Northern Lapwings (Vanellus vanellus L.) can b...

The Congo Basin peatlands, the world’s largest tropical peatland complex, are critical for global carbon storage yet remain poorly understood from a human dimension’s perspective. This study explores the perceptions, lifestyles, and knowl...

Rivers and their associated landscapes—floodplains, wetlands, and oxbow lakes—represent some of the most dynamic and biologically rich ecosystems on Earth [...]

The northern Brazilian Amazon has ecological transition ecosystems with high diversity and endemism of tree species and few botanical collections. We evaluated the phytosociology between Dense Ombrophilous Forest (Ds) and Forested Campinarana (Ld) wi...

Aquatic ecosystems are currently facing anthropogenic pollution, mainly derived from agricultural, industrial, and urban runoff, including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs), pesticides, fertilizers, and untreated wastewater discha...
