Why do we still use stepwise modelling in ecology and behaviour
TL;DR: It is shown that stepwise regression allows models containing significant predictors to be obtained from each year's data, and that the significance of the selected models vary substantially between years and suggest patterns that are at odds with those determined by analysing the full, 4-year data set.
Journal ArticleDOI
The second Silent Spring
TL;DR: The drive to squeeze ever more food from the land has sent Europe's farmland wildlife into a precipitous decline as discussed by the authors, and how can agricultural policy be reformed so that we have fewer grain mountains and more skylarks?
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the abundance and diversity of invertebrate and plant foods of granivorous birds in northern europe in relation to agricultural change

TL;DR: Overall, intensification and specialisation of arable and grassland systems is likely to have reduced the availability of key invertebrate and seed foods for birds, however, there is also evidence that reversal of intensification, especially in arable systems can result in rapid recovery of these resources.

Journal ArticleDOI
The role of agri-environment schemes and farm management practices in reversing the decline of farmland birds in England
TL;DR: In this paper, a new entry-level agri-environment scheme, with low cost, low maintenance options, should address the quantity issue and specialist prescriptions, particularly for rare sedentary species, should form higher tier agreements targeted at existing populations.
