The concept of ecological stability occupies a prominent place in both fundamental and
applied ecological research. We review decades of work on the topic and examine how our …

1. The decline in insect abundance and diversity observed in many ecosystems is of major
concern because of the long‐term consequences for ecosystem function and stability. 2 …

Although one-quarter of plant and vertebrate species are threatened with extinction, little is
known about the potential effect of extinctions on the global diversity of ecological strategies …

Exploration of the relationship between species diversity and ecological stability has
occupied a prominent place in ecological research for decades. Yet, a key component of this …

Resilience has emerged as a key concept in ecology and conservation biology to
understand and predict ecosystem responses to global change. In its broadest sense …

In the current global biodiversity crisis, the development of tools to define, quantify, compare,
and predict resilience is essential for understanding the responses of species to global …

Biodiversity is declining worldwide. When species are physically active (ie, their diel niche)
may influence their risk of becoming functionally extinct. It may also affect how species …

Amidst the global extinction crisis, climate change will expose ecosystems to more frequent
and intense extreme climatic events, such as heatwaves. Yet, whether predator species loss …

The insurance effect of biodiversity—that diversity stabilises aggregate ecosystem properties—
is mechanistically underlain by inter‐and intraspecific trait variation in organismal responses …

Food web structure plays an important role in determining ecosystem stability against
perturbations. High-latitude marine ecosystems are being affected by environmental …
