TL;DR: The main ideas and results of a recent symposium on the effects of ENSO in dry ecosystems were presented as part of the First Alexander von Humboldt International Conference on the El Nino Phenomenon and its Global Impact (Guayaquil, Ecuador, 16-20 May 2005) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem restoration with teeth: what role for predators?
Euan G. Ritchie,Bodil Elmhagen,Alistair S. Glen,Mike Letnic,Gilbert X. Ludwig,Robbie A. McDonald +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued for increased emphasis on predator functionality in ecosystems and less on the identities and origins of species and genotypes in order to reduce the undesirable impacts of predators.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The interaction of gradual climate trends and extreme weather events since the turn of the century has triggered complex and, in some cases, catastrophic ecological responses around the world as discussed by the authors, using Australian examples within a press-pulse framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top predators as biodiversity regulators: the dingo Canis lupus dingo as a case study.
TL;DR: Studies of the ecological effects of the dingo Canis lupus dingo, Australia's largest land predator, are reviewed, using this as a case study to explore the influence of a top predator on biodiversity at a continental scale.
