Tropical rainforests are at the same time some of the most species-rich and the least known terrestrial ecosystems. They are also under immense human pressure. Lack of information about species taxonomy, their distributions, ...

ABSTRACT The continuous challenge of socially and ecologically sustainable management of natural resources demands us to tirelessly monitor the management systems and increase our understanding of them. The incorporation ...

It is well established that climate change constitutes a great challenge for wild animals, with increasing occurrence of heat waves also causing mortality events. However, in nature, environmental stressors are not occurring ...

Apex predators regulate ecosystems through top-down processes. In the last century many predator populations crashed due to anthropogenic impacts, but recently some have recovered and are re-colonizing old areas, as well ...

Climate change affects temperature and landscapes, especially in northern latitudes where heavy winters are becoming less common. Changes in the environment can strongly affect animals locally adapted to their habitat. ...

Infectious diseases in natural populations are important areas of research in ecology and evolution as they describe how parasites influence the host fitness. A host may undergo adaptive evolution against the parasite by ...

Throughout history, humans have coexisted with animals, fulfilling various roles in human life including providing food, clothing, and assistance in research and labor. The study of human-animal relationships has been a ...

Insight into genomic mechanisms of phenotypic variation and adaptation is essential for understanding evolutionary and population dynamics in wild populations. Knowledge about whether it is the same genetic architecture ...

There are billions of animals living in close proximity to humans around the world from pets and livestock to laboratory, draught and zoo animals. The interactions these animals have with humans in captivity influence their ...

This dissertation discusses the role of values and worldviews in environmental education (EE) and sustainability education (SE). Values and worldviews affect whether we feel concern for the environment and guide our ...
