Wetland water quality patterns and anthropogenic pressure associations across the continental USA
Anthropogenic impacts on lake and stream water quality are well established but have been much less studied in wetlands. Here we use data from the...

N-fertilization and disturbance exert long-lasting complex legacies on subarctic ecosystems
Subarctic ecosystems are subjected to increasing nitrogen (N) enrichment and disturbances that induce particularly strong effects on plant...

Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is a field of ecology, which includes vegetation ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemistry of nutrient cycles. Here,...

Impact of Anthropogenic Activities on Microbial Diversity and Soil Health
Soil, the fragile top layer of the Earth’s ecosystem, is a crucial natural resource for supporting life on the planet. The majority of terrestrial...

Evaluation of anthropogenic pressure on the occupancy patterns of large mammals in the Western and Eastern Ghats
ContextHabitat loss limits the dispersal of wide-ranging large mammals. It is pivotal to study the ecological and anthropogenic factors driving the...

Variation in the use of anthropogenic materials in tit nests: influence of human activities and pandemic restrictions
As urbanization expands, so does the presence of anthropogenic materials within bird’s nests. However, our understanding of this phenomenon remains...

Seasonal dynamics of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in areas with anthropogenic disturbances: The case of Uzungwa scarp nature forest reserve, Tanzania
Anthropogenic disturbance causes habitat destruction and thereby presents a serious threat to many forest species. Seasonal variation in diversity...

Trait-mediated filtering predicts phyllostomid bat responses to habitat disturbance in the Orinoco Llanos
Which functional traits allow a bat species to survive habitat disturbance? Empirical evidence regarding this question remains limited for many...

Sustained population decline of rodents is linked to accelerated climate warming and human disturbance
BackgroundDuring the past three decades, sustained population decline or disappearance of cycles in small rodents have been observed. Both...
