Contrasting patterns of turnover between plants, pollinators and their interactions (2014)
Journal Article

Aim: Biogeographers typically assess patterns of diversity across landscapes. As interacting groups often exhibit contrasting trends, this leads to variation in the structure of interaction networks and thereby influences ecosystem processes. Here we...

Migratory bird species benefit from traditional agricultural gardens in arid South Sinai (2014)
Journal Article

In temperate and tropical regions agricultural conversion of natural habitat typically has negative impacts upon the diversity and functional complexity of bird communities. In arid environments however, the irrigation associated with agricultural ca... Read More about Migratory bird species benefit from traditional agricultural gardens in arid South Sinai.

Culturally valuable minority crops provide a succession of floral resources for flower visitors in traditional orchard gardens (2014)
Journal Article

Agricultural intensification typically has detrimental effects on pollinator communities, but diverse cropping systems that contain sequentially-flowering crops have the potential to benefit pollinators through the provision of additional floral reso...

Spatiotemporal variation in the endangered Thymus decussatus in a hyper-arid environment (2014)
Journal Article

Aims: Arid environments are resource limited, with scarcity of water the key limiting factor, but hyper-arid environments are rarely studied. We test for spatial and temporal variation in ecologically important characteristics to deduce plant adaptat...
