Open AccessMammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape
Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trap** as a lens to view mammal respons...

Open AccessGreen roofs and pollinators, useful green spots for some wild bee species (Hymenoptera: Anthophila), but not so much for hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Urbanisation has become one of the major anthropogenic drivers behind insect decline in abundance, biomass and species richness over the past decades. As a result, bees and other pollinators' natural habitats ...

Migration routes and timing of European Nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) breeding in eastern Mongolia
The phenology and routes of long-distance migrations of European Nightjars are well described for Western European individuals migrating within the East Atlantic and Mediterranean flyways, while little is know...

Open AccessRush or relax: migration tactics of a nocturnal insectivore in response to ecological barriers
During their annual migration, avian migrants alternate stopover periods, for refuelling, with migratory flight bouts. We hypothesise that European Nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) adapt their daily migration ta...

Open AccessA novel method for assessing climate change impacts in ecotron experiments
Ecotron facilities allow accurate control of many environmental variables coupled with extensive monitoring of ecosystem processes. They therefore require multivariate perturbation of climate variables, close ...

Open AccessMeta-analysis of multidecadal biodiversity trends in Europe
Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological time series (15–91 years) c...

Food Web Uncertainties Influence Predictions of Climate Change Effects on Soil Carbon Sequestration in Heathlands
Carbon cycling models consider soil carbon sequestration a key process for climate change mitigation. However, these models mostly focus on abiotic soil processes and, despite its recognized critical mechanist...

Open AccessMap** species richness using opportunistic samples: a case study on ground-floor bryophyte species richness in the Belgian province of Limburg
In species richness studies, citizen-science surveys where participants make individual decisions regarding sampling strategies provide a cost-effective approach to collect a large amount of data. However, it ...

Open AccessProximity of breeding and foraging areas affects foraging effort of a crepuscular, insectivorous bird
When complementary resources are required for an optimal life cycle, most animals need to move between different habitats. However, the level of connectivity between resources can vary and, hence, influence in...

Repeated migration of a juvenile European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus
Most of our current knowledge on migration strategies in juvenile light-weight birds originates from laboratory studies, displacement experiments and partial migration tracks. Here we report on the first recor...
