The Biological Assessment and Rehabilitation of the World’s Rivers: An Overview
(Water, 2021-01-31)
The biological assessment of rivers i.e., their assessment through use of aquatic assemblages,
integrates the effects of multiple-stressors on these systems over time and is essential to evaluate
ecosystem condition and ...
Using the Biological Condition Gradient Model as a Bioassessment Frameworks to Support Rehabilitation and Restoration of the Upper Tana River Watershed in Kenya
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021-07)
The biological condition gradient (BCG), a scientific framework that describes the change in ecosystem characteristics in response to human-induced levels of stressors, was modified and used to characterize watershed ...
Evidence of nutrient translocation in response to smoke exposure by the East African ant acacia, Vachellia drepanolobium
(Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-09)
1. Fire is a major selective force on arid grassland communities, favoring traits such as the smoke-induced seed germination response seen in a wide variety of plant species. However, little is known about the relevance ...
Naïve plant communities and individuals may initially suffer in the face of reintroduced megafauna: An experimental exploration of rewilding from an African savanna rangeland
(PLOS ONE, 2021-04-06)
Excluding large native mammals is an inverse test of rewilding. A 25-year exclosure experiment in an African savanna rangeland offers insight into the potentials and pitfalls of the rewilding endeavor as they relate to the ...

5. Absentee owners and overlapping home ranges in a territorial species
(2021-01-07)
Abstract Understanding animals’ use of space can shed valuable light on multiple other aspects of behavioral ecology, including social organization, dispersal, and foraging efficiency. Home ranges, territories, core areas, ...
