Anthropogenic disturbance has generated a significant loss of biodiversity worldwide and
grazing by domestic herbivores is a contributing disturbance. Although the effects of grazing …

In focusing on how organisms' generalizable functional properties (traits) interact
mechanistically with environments across spatial scales and levels of biological …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss,. Alongside reductions in local
species diversity, biotic homogenization at larger spatial scales is of great concern for …

Biodiversity loss can affect the viability of ecosystems by decreasing the ability of
communities to respond to environmental change and disturbances. Agricultural …

Agriculture, the world's most dominant land use type, burdens freshwater biodiversity with a
multitude of stressors such as diffuse pollution and hydromorphological alteration. However …

Recent climate and land‐use changes are having substantial impacts on biodiversity,
including population declines, range shifts, and changes in community composition …

Ecological studies are increasingly moving towards trait‐based approaches, as the
evidence mounts that functions, as opposed to taxonomy, drive ecosystem service delivery …

Landscape heterogeneity represents two aspects of landscape simplification:(i)
compositional heterogeneity (diversity of habitat types); and (ii) configurational …

Current studies have shown a severe general decline in insect species diversity, their
abundance, and a biomass reduction of flying insects. Most of previous studies have been …
