Herbivory in global climate change research: direct effects of rising temperature on insect herbivores
J. S. Bale,Gregory J. Masters,Ian D. Hodkinson,Caroline S. Awmack,T. Martijn Bezemer,Valerie K. Brown,Jennifer Butterfield,Alan Buse,John C. Coulson,John Farrar,John E. G. Good,Richard Harrington,Susane Hartley,T. Hefin Jones,Richard L. Lindroth,Malcolm C. Press,Ilias Symrnioudis,Allan D. Watt,J. B. Whittaker +18 more
TL;DR: Future research needs to consider insect herbivore phenotypic and genotypic flexibility, their responses to global change parameters operating in concert, and awareness that some patterns may only become apparent in the longer term.

Understanding and managing conservation conflicts
Steve Redpath,Juliette Young,Anna Evely,William M. Adams,William J. Sutherland,Andrew Whitehouse,Arjun Amar,Robert A. Lambert,John D. C. Linnell,Allan D. Watt,Ralph J. Gutierrez +10 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that conservation outcomes will be less durable when conservationists assert their interests to the detriment of others and the efficacy of alternative conflict management approaches are evaluated.

John H. Lawton,David E. Bignell,B. Bolton,G. F. Bloemers,G. F. Bloemers,G. F. Bloemers,Paul Eggleton,Peter Hammond,Mike Hodda,Mike Hodda,Robert D. Holt,T. B. Larsen,N. A. Mawdsley,N. A. Mawdsley,N. A. Mawdsley,Nigel E. Stork,Nigel E. Stork,Diane S. Srivastava,Diane S. Srivastava,Allan D. Watt +19 more
TL;DR: A gradient from near-primary, through old-growth secondary and plantation forests to complete clearance, for eight animal groups in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve, south-central Cameroon is examined, indicating the huge scale of the biological effort required to provide inventories of tropical diversity, and to measure the impacts of tropical forest modification and clearance.

Long-term datasets in biodiversity research and monitoring: assessing change in ecological communities through time
Anne E. Magurran,Stephen R. Baillie,Stephen T. Buckland,Jan McP. Dick,David A. Elston,E. Marian Scott,R. Smith,Paul J. Somerfield,Allan D. Watt +8 more
TL;DR: Methods of evaluating change in biodiversity at the community level using long-term datasets are reviewed, and whole-community approaches with those that combine information from different species and habitats are contrasted.
Identifying and managing the conflicts between agriculture and biodiversity conservation in Europe - a review
Klaus Henle,Didier Alard,Jeremy Clitherow,Paul Cobb,Les G. Firbank,Tiiu Kull,David I. McCracken,Robin F. A. Moritz,Jari Niemelä,Michael Rebane,Dirk Wascher,Allan D. Watt,Juliette Young +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a historical perspective on the development of conflicts related to biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and evaluate strategies to reconcile such conflicts, emphasizing the need for monitoring as an integral part of conflict reconciliation strategies.
