Polyscape: A GIS mapping framework providing efficient and spatially explicit landscape-scale valuation of multiple ecosystem services
Bethanna Jackson,Tim Pagella,Fergus Sinclair,Barbara Orellana,Alexander J. Henshaw,Brian Reynolds,Neil McIntyre,Howard Wheater,Howard Wheater,Amy E. Eycott +9 more
TL;DR: A GIS framework (Polyscape) designed to explore spatially explicit synergies and trade-offs amongst ecosystem services to support landscape management (from individual fields through to catchments of ca 10,000 km2 scale) is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hunting for fear: innovating management of human–wildlife conflicts
Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt,Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt,Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt,Dries P. J. Kuijper,Marius Adam,Robert L. Beschta,Marcin Churski,Amy E. Eycott,Amy E. Eycott,Graham I. H. Kerley,Graham I. H. Kerley,Atle Mysterud,Krzysztof Schmidt,Kate West +13 more
TL;DR: The concept of ‘hunting for fear’ is introduced as an extension of the more classical ’hunting to kill’ that is typically used in large herbivore management, to induce a behavioural response in ungulates as a way of diverting them from areas where their impact is undesired.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis on the impact of different matrix structures on species movement rates
Amy E. Eycott,Gavin B. Stewart,Gavin B. Stewart,Lisette M Buyung-Ali,Diana E. Bowler,Kevin Watts,Andrew S. Pullin +6 more
TL;DR: Changes to the structure of landscapes intended to improve permeability to movement are supported by the findings of this study, particularly for relatively mobile species, but research over longer timescales, greater distances and range of taxonomic groups is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dispersal by ungulates as an ecological filter: a trait-based meta-analysis
Aurélie Albert,Alistair G. Auffret,Eric Cosyns,Sara A. O. Cousins,Bram D'hondt,Carsten Eichberg,Amy E. Eycott,Thilo Heinken,Maurice Hoffmann,Maurice Hoffmann,Bogdan Jaroszewicz,Juan E. Malo,Anders Mårell,Maarten Mouissie,Robin J. Pakeman,Mélanie Picard,Jan Plue,Peter Poschlod,Sam Provoost,Kiowa Alraune Schulze,Christophe Baltzinger +20 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that zoochory can be an efficient mechanism for plants to colonize new patches of potentially suitable habitat and predicted that seed dispersal by ungu ...
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting and evaluating biodiversity conservation action within fragmented landscapes: an approach based on generic focal species and least-cost networks
Kevin Watts,Amy E. Eycott,Phillip Handley,Duncan Ray,Jonathan W. Humphrey,Christopher P. Quine +5 more
TL;DR: This approach provides an assessment of landscape function by recognising the importance of the landscape matrix and provides a framework for the targeting and evaluation of alternative conservation options, offering a pragmatic, ecologically-robust solution to a current need in applied landscape ecology.
