While the conclusions remain contested, these assessments have largely neglected the ecological and conservation impacts of other key regional processes such as declining populations, ageing demographics and rural‐to‐urban migration. These demographic shifts are increasingly prevalent across many regions of the world, and will have significant direct effects on natural resource management and biodiversity conservation by altering individual consumption patterns, land use, land stewardship and natural disturbances. Given that the scientific foundation around this topic is still developing, we first present an initial examination of some of the key environmental impacts, aiming to elevate awareness and encourage further research in these areas. Beyond the ecological implications, declining populations, ageing demographics and rural‐to‐urban migration carry intricate social and cultural consequences that can affect people and nature interactions. Ecological studies that focus on single dimensions of biodiversity or ecosystem responses often overlook these complexities. Demographic changes are likely to be accompanied by shifts in environmental attitudes and connections with nature, all of which will influence our capacity to adapt to or mitigate environmental changes. Finally, environmental policy and practice frameworks are potentially unprepared and their success could be sensitive to these socio‐cultural and demographic shifts. Synthesis and applications : This brief overview demonstrates that population decline, ageing and rural‐to‐urban migration can have extensive implications for biodiversity and the socio‐cultural relationships between people and nature. However, the significance, dynamics and consequences of these processes are still largely overlooked. We believe that these changes warrant specific attention from the research, policy and practice communities, as understanding the outcomes and feedbacks associated with depopulation, ageing populations, loss of culture and tradition and ecological change could aid in designing landscapes and informing management that enhances both human well‐being and biodiversity conservation.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1365-2664}, pages = {1982-1988}, orcid-numbers = {Marini, Lorenzo/0000-0001-7429-7685; Batáry, Péter/0000-0002-1017-6996; Carmenta, Rachel/0000-0001-8607-4147; Gaston, Kevin J./0000-0002-7235-7928; Gordon, Rowena/0000-0002-7491-0029; Macinnis‐Ng, Cate/0000-0003-3935-9814; Mori, Akira S./0000-0002-8422-1198; Nuñez, Martin/0000-0003-0324-5479; Barlow, Jos/0000-0003-4992-2594} } @article{MTMT:35164604, title = {Proximity of shrub nests to ground nests increases the chance of ground nest predation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35164604}, author = {Purger, Jenő and Kurucz, Kornélia and Purger, Dragica and Batáry, Péter}, doi = {10.51812/of.136659}, journal-iso = {ORNIS FENNICA}, journal = {ORNIS FENNICA}, unique-id = {35164604}, issn = {0030-5685}, abstract = {In nature, ground-nesting birds rarely nest under an active shrub nest of another species.

We found a higher predation on ground nests than on shrub nests in both habitats. More importantly, predation events in shrub nests resulted in a higher predation of more concealed ground nests too.

We studied the effects of 12 invasive alien plant species on environmental variables and directly on ground-nesting bees to reveal their specific importance. We sampled bees along transects; flowers, vegetation, bare ground and litter in quadrats, as well as soil characteristics. Our results suggested that plant invasion reduced overall and flowering plant richness and positively affected the height of native vegetation. However, this did not affect ground-nesting bees’ abundance or species richness. Although we found invaded plots to have altered soil chemical characteristics compared to control plots, there was no correlation between soil characteristics and ground-nesting bees. The large explanatory potential of the random factors suggests that there were large differences in the abundance and species richness of ground-nesting bee species among the different habitat types and before and during the flowering of the invasive species. Although our study lacked a direct sampling of nesting bees, our results show the adverse effects of plant invasion on foraging and some nesting characteristics of ground-nesting bees.
