Large carnivores face serious threats and are experiencing massive declines in their populations
and geographic ranges around the world. We highlight how these threats have affected the
conservation status and ecological functioning of the 31 largest mammalian carnivores on

BaBiO₃ has the perovskite structure, but tilting of the BiO₆ octahedra destroy the ideal cubic symmetry except at temperatures above 820 K. BaBiO₃ is a diamagnetic semiconductor due to a charge density wave (CDW), which is equivalent to a Ba₂Bi³⁺Bi⁵⁺O₆ representation. Recent calculations and experimental results confirm that there is...

Lake Chad is an important fish supply centre in the semi-arid zone of West Africa. Processed Fish Trade (PFT) has catered neighbouring countries for a long time. However, Fresh Fish Trade (FFT) boomed due to severe droughts between 1970 and 1994, by which the PFT main fish species were replaced...

Feedback loops involving soil microorganisms can
regulate plant populations. Here, we hypothesize that microorganisms
are most likely to play a role in plant–soil feedback
loops when they possess an affinity for a particular plant and
the capacity to consistently affect the growth of that plant for
good or ill. We...

Biological invasions create complex ecological

knowledge about invasions comes only from successful
invaders, but less is known about which processes
determine the differential success of invasions. In this
review, we develop a framework to identify the main
dimensions driving the success and failure...

Soil solarization has been used throughout the world, but its effect on plant growth variables in ornamental tree saplings in the Willamette Valley are not well documented. Solarization could be an alternative to chemical controls for soil pathogens and weeds, and it may also influence plant growth factors. This study...
