Open AccessInvasive species and thermal squeeze: distribution of two invasive predators and drivers of ship rat (Rattus rattus) invasion in mid-elevation Fuscospora forest
Global climate change could alter the range, abundance, and interactions of species, potentially favouring invasive species and harming endemics. Ship rats (Rattus rattus) are one of the world's worst invasive pr...

Implementation Issues for a Highly Structured Research Report
We have proposed that scientific research reports should be constructed entirely of structured knowledge rather than text. In an earlier paper, we emphasized Research Designs as a framework for structured rese...

A Resource Centric View of Climate and Mast Seeding in Trees
Seed production by trees has consequences for regeneration, nutrient cycling, trophic interactions, invasive species impacts and various diseases influencing human health. Effective management of these consequ...

New evidence indicates the coarse soil fraction is of greater relevance to plant nutrition than previously suggested
Plant nutrient uptake from coarse soil (2–4 mm diameter) has been demonstrated for only a limited number of nutrients, and the nutritional contribution of coarse soil when present with fine soil (material <2 m...

Sustainable management, earthquake disturbances, and transient dynamics: modelling timber harvesting impacts in mixed-species forests
There is strong interest in sustainable forest management systems that preserve characteristics of forests close to naturalness. Assessing the effectiveness of these systems is difficult because defining “natu...
