Recreational activities can be an important source of anthropogenic disturbance in intertidal benthic assemblages. On rocky shores, activities such as trampling, snorkeling and the handling of organisms may have a negative ...

We present detailed pollen and charcoal records from Lago Pichilafquén (~. 41°S) to decipher the effects of climate change and varying disturbance regimes on the composition and structure of the vegetation on the Andean ...

We examine the response of Nothofagus forests to climate change and disturbance regimes over the last 3200 years near Coyhaique (45 degrees S), central-east Chilean Patagonia, using fine-resolution pollen and charcoal ...

A key part of tropical forest spatial complexity is the vertical stratification of biodiversity, with widely differing communities found in higher rainforest strata compared to terrestrial levels. Despite this, our ...

Studies on the impact of human activity on animal behaviour are critical for understanding the extent to which humans affect ecological dynamics. Previous studies have found that human presence alters antipredator behaviours, ...

Patch‐size distribution and plant cover are strongly associated to arid ecosystem functioning and may be a warning signal for the onset of desertification under changes in disturbance regimes. However, the interaction ...
