“Drivers of complexity in ecosystem restoration” Waddell 2026 - Journal of Applied Ecology - besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We studied how landscape & community structure shape species persistence under habitat loss. Heterogeneous landscapes = high persistence under random loss but highly vulnerable to spatially correlated loss Mutualistic community nestedness boosts persistence! 🌺🐝 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Looking forward to the #BES2025 Annual Meeting next week! If you're interested in restoration, food webs, landscapes and species recovery, join me for the session: "Species interactions and recovery under global change" - Tuesday 16th - 5:30pm - Lammermuir 1

Geographic Mosaic Theory of Coevolution proposes that some environments are coevolutionary hotspots and others are coldspots. We propose moving from binary classifications to a continuous gradient of coevolutionary temperature. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Restoration ultimately aims to recover complex ecological systems with many interdependent species at large scale To understand the driving processes, we combined experiments & modelling Finding a trade-off between species recovery and food-web complexity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We’re offering a paid internship! “Restoring for ecological recovery and resilience: a global approach” Look for Internship 3 (also peruse the other internships) at: ceh.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/CEH_Careers/...
