Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people....
Global impacts of invasive species on the tipping points of shallow lakes
Abstract: There is growing acknowledgement that human‐induced change can push ecosystems beyond tipping points, resulting in the dramatic and sudden loss of vital ecosystem services. Invasive non‐native species (INNS) are...

Human influences on evolution, and the ecological and societal consequences.
When bats go viral
The recent upsurge in bat-borne virus research has attracted substantial news coverage worldwide. A systematic review of virological literature revealed that most studies portrayed bats as a major concern for public health (51%)...
Heterogeneity in ecosystem service values
One way of linking research and environmental policies is to increase public participation and identify ecosystem services valued by society, but the reasons influencing ecosystem values can vary. Our study investigates...
