The robustness and restoration of a network of ecological networks (2012)
Journal Article
Pocock, M. J., Evans, D. M., & Memmott, J. (2012). The robustness and restoration of a network of ecological networks. Science, 335(6071), 973-977. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1214915

Understanding species' interactions and the robustness of interaction networks to species loss is essential to understand the effects of species' declines and extinctions. In most studies, different types of networks (such as food webs, parasitoid we... Read More about The robustness and restoration of a network of ecological networks.

Seeds in farmland food-webs: Resource importance, distribution and the impacts of farm management (2011)
Journal Article
Pocock, M. J., Evans, D. M., Brooks, J., & Memmott, J. (2011). Seeds in farmland food-webs: Resource importance, distribution and the impacts of farm management. Biological Conservation, 144(12), 2941-2950. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2011.08.013

Whilst considerable research effort in Europe has linked agricultural intensification with dramaticdeclines of seed-feeding birds, surprisingly little is known about the wider importance of seeds in animalfood-webs. Moreover, understanding the dynami... Read More about Seeds in farmland food-webs: Resource importance, distribution and the impacts of farm management.

Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011)
Journal Article
Lawson Handley, L.-J., Estoup, A., Evans, D. M., Thomas, C. E., Lombaert, E., Facon, B., Aebi, A., & Roy, H. E. (2011). Ecological genetics of invasive alien species. BioControl, 56(4), 409-428. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10526-011-9386-2

There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked. So far, the focus of ecological genetics of invasive alien species (IAS) has been on determini... Read More about Ecological genetics of invasive alien species.

The effects of livestock grazing on foliar arthropods associated with bird diet in upland grasslands of Scotland (2007)
Journal Article
Dennis, P., Skartveit, J., McCracken, D. I., Pakeman, R. J., Beaton, K., Kunaver, A., & Evans, D. M. (2008). The effects of livestock grazing on foliar arthropods associated with bird diet in upland grasslands of Scotland. The journal of applied ecology, 45(1), 279-287. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2664.2007.01378.x

1. Upland biotopes have conservation importance for their typical plant and animal species. Recently, the condition of upland habitats has deteriorated with associated declines in many upland birds. Grazing by increased densities of sheep has been im... Read More about The effects of livestock grazing on foliar arthropods associated with bird diet in upland grasslands of Scotland.
