Twenty-five years of monitoring reveals that uninterrupted rodent control is the fundamental driver of breeding success in the Galapagos Petrel Pterodroma phaeopygia

The study shows that uninterrupted rodent control is crucial for breeding success in Galapagos Petrels, as a one-year control failure led to significant declines in hatching and breeding success.

Beyond urbanization metrics: Using graphical causal models to investigate mechanisms in urban ecology and evolution

This paper uses graphical causal models to test mechanistic hypotheses about urbanization's effects on biodiversity, finding that melanism in squirrels is constrained by urban environmental factors.
