Human-mediated changes to natural ecosystems have consequences for both ecosystem
and human health. Historically, efforts to preserve or restore 'biodiversity'can seem to be in …

Habitat transformation is one of the leading causes of changes in biodiversity and the
breakdown of ecosystem function and services. The impacts of habitat transformation on …

Insect Ecology: An Ecosystem Approach, Fifth Edition provides the most updated and
comprehensive knowledge of the diversity of insect responses to environmental changes …

Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversities are important facets of biodiversity.
Studying them together has improved our understanding of community dynamics, ecosystem …

Functional food webs are essential for the successful conservation of ecological
communities, and in terrestrial systems, food webs are built on a foundation of coevolved …

Habitat fragmentation is a complex process that affects ecological systems in diverse ways,
altering everything from population persistence to ecosystem function. Despite widespread …

Conservation practitioners often lack tools to monitor functioning of communities because
time and monetary constraints create a gap between the optimal monitoring methods and …

Documenting species abundance distributions in natural environments is critical to ecology
and conservation biology. Tropical forest insect faunas vary in space and time, and these …

Ecologists have taken two distinct approaches in studying the distribution and diversity of
communities: a species‐centric focus and an interaction‐network based approach. A current …
