The paper examines how cattle grazing and crop failure affect acorn dispersal and seedling recruitment in cork-oak woodlands, finding grazing reduces dispersal distance while crop failure increases dispersal distance and seedling recruitment.

The paper compares carnivore crossing rates through irrigation canal culverts and overpasses, finding overpasses are more effective in facilitating crossings.

This study examines how burning level and season affect stream wood functions post-fire, finding heavily burned wood is less likely to provide substrate for aquatic biota.

The paper examines how carnivore-mediated endozoochory and seed soaking affect seedling emergence in quarry restoration, finding that endozoochorous carob seeds perform similarly to untreated seeds and soaking improves emergence.

The paper investigates how herbivory, competition, and facilitation affect oak seedling performance in Mediterranean agroforestry systems, finding unexpected positive associations between herbivory and seedling growth and survival.
