The incidence function model as a tool for landscape ecological impact assessments (2017)
Journal Article

Landscape-scale approaches to assessing the impact of land-use change on species' persistence are necessary because species depend on processes acting at varying scales, yet existing approaches to ecological impact assessment tend only to be site-bas...

Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size? (2017)
Journal Article

In their recent paper published in Science (2016, 351, 1437–1439), Chan et al. analysed 137 montane gradients, concluding that they found a novel pattern—a negative relationship between mean elevational range size of species and daily temperature var...

Scrubbing up: multi-scale investigation of woody encroachment in a southern African savannah (2017)
Journal Article

Changes in the extent of woody vegetation represent a major conservation question in many savannah systems around the globe. To address the problem of the current lack of broad-scale cost-effective tools for land cover monitoring in complex savannah...

Spatial relationship between biodiversity and geodiversity across a gradient of land-use intensity in high-latitude landscapes (2017)
Journal Article

Context: ‘Conserving Nature’s stage’ has been advanced as an important conservation principle because of known links between biodiversity and abiotic environmental diversity, especially in sensitive high-latitude environments and at the landscape sca...

Metapopulation modelling of long-term urban habitat-loss scenarios (2017)
Journal Article

Context: Increasing human populations in urban areas pose a threat to species’ persistence through habitat loss and fragmentation. It is therefore essential that we develop methods to investigate critical habitat loss thresholds and least detrimental...

Modelling native and alien vascular plant species richness: at which scales is geodiversity most relevant? (2017)
Journal Article

Aim: To explore the scale-dependency of relationships between novel geodiversity measures and 26 both native and alien vascular plant species richness. Location: Great Britain Time period: Data collected 1995-2015 Major taxa: Vascular plants Meth...

Conservation on the blink: deficient technical reports threaten conservation in the Natura 2000 network (2017)
Journal Article
