Honey bees are the most economically important crop pollinator worldwide. They depend on a diversity of pollen for reproduction and colony growth. However, the influence of landscape composition on diversity and quantity of pollen collection by honey

Aim Protected areas are key conservation tools intended to increase biodiversity and reduce extinction risks of species and populations. However, the degree to which protected areas achieve their conservation goals is generally unknown for many prote

Grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems globally. Large tracts of grassland in the Great Plains, USA have been converted to cropland since the early 1900s, and woodlands are rapidly encroaching into many grasslands of the region due to c

Important drivers of woody cover in African savannas are rainfall, soil and nutrients, and disturbance factors, such as fire and herbivory. However, very little is known about how these drivers influence woody cover at specific height classes. The ma
Sustainable harvesting practices are important for conserving plant species and their habitats; but also the livelihoods of those that depend on them. Aloe ferox, a valuable natural resource harvested for its leaves, is the focus of a recent rural de

Weather and habitat-use are key factors that influence the survival of a species. A central goal in conservation biology is to gain a mechanistic understanding of how these quantities limit a species' range. We examined how weather, season and geogra

In contemporary society, protected areas are increasingly expected to justify their existence through the services that they provide to society. Protected areas offer many important cultural services, but appraisal of these nonmaterial benefits has g

A mechanistic understanding of species’ geographic range dynamics requires an understanding of the dynamics of populations at the edge of that range. Several ibis species are currently expanding their ranges, and the Hadeda Ibis (Bostrychia hagedas

Aim Climate limits the ranges of many animals, but the mechanism whereby it does so remains poorly understood. One explanation is that climate (e.g. temperature or rainfall) affects energy expenditure, eventually limiting where a species can occur. W
