ABSTRACT The establishment of exotic tree plantations poses a pervasive threat to wildlife across the globe. Among most important species used for forestry purposes worldwide are members genus Eucalyptus , which have now been established in at least 107 countries outside their native range. When introduced into non‐native areas, eucalypt associated with myriad novel challenges fauna, and often reductions biodiversity local communities. However, similar other anthropogenic habitats, can also create opportunities that allow them survive thrive these environments. In this review, we use as case study understanding ecological evolutionary responses habitat loss change. We begin by summarising main avenues research addressing individual, community, ecosystem levels, highlight critical gaps. consider characteristics different types how such attributes linked ability animals respond appropriately plantations, summarise considerations conservation animal communities human‐altered habitats.

Abstract Identifying the drivers and ecological mechanisms that shape species occupancy patterns at large scales is decisive in understanding how respond to environmental changes. In this study, we compiled camera trapping data from different scientific projects monitoring programs conduct first assessment of relevant red fox (Vulpes vulpes) national level Portugal. Here, using single-species/single-season models, target two regions with contexts - north south River Tagus. Our results show change depending on context. northern region (more mountainous densely forested), were mostly shaped by direct human-associated disturbance, positively associated dogs’ relative abundance index. On other hand, southern (plain areas dominated agroforestry systems), variation was best explained habitat characteristics, foxes showing a higher probability occupying greater diversity. Considering these results, conclude fox’s generalist character highlighted its capacity adopt strategies context: use more humanized areas, along free-ranging dogs, Northern region, diversified resources Southern region. Therefore, our study reinforces fox's highly adaptive character, adding crucial information tailor management conservation actions regional
