Diversity in Ecology

Student Programs

In the October issue of Ecological Applications, Graham et al. demonstrate that responses to land-use change differ among plants, small mammals, and large mammals in east Africa. Large mammals like the giraffe depend on conserved areas, while many small mammal and plant taxa exhibit affinities for pastoral and agricultural areas. This implies that mosaics of varying land-use are important for conserving diverse assemblages of organisms.

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences 10/29/2019 Although common, indirect interactions between taxonomically distant herbivores, such as mammals and insects, are less studied than interaction between taxonomically related species (insect–insect). In this study the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for chemical ecology in Germany show that sawfly performance was enhanced on trees browsed by moose. The…
