Understanding how landscape characteristics affect biodiversity patterns and ecological
processes at local and landscape scales is critical for mitigating effects of global …

Habitat loss has pervasive and disruptive impacts on biodiversity in habitat remnants. The
magnitude of the ecological impacts of habitat loss can be exacerbated by the spatial …

Pollinating species are in decline globally, with land use an important driver. However, most
of the evidence on which these claims are made is patchy, based on studies with low …

Island biogeography theory posits that species richness increases with island size and
decreases with isolation. This logic underpins much conservation policy and regulation, with …

Although habitat fragmentation is often assumed to be a primary driver of extinction, global
patterns of fragmentation and its relationship to extinction risk have not been consistently …

Boreal forest soils function as a terrestrial net sink in the global carbon cycle. The prevailing
dogma has focused on aboveground plant litter as a principal source of soil organic matter …

Using historic data sets, we quantified the degree to which global change over 120 years
disrupted plant-pollinator interactions in a temperate forest understory community in Illinois …

Background Wild bees are important pollinators that have declined in diversity and
abundance during the last decades. Habitat destruction and fragmentation associated with …

Recent work has shown that antagonist (eg predator–prey food web) and mutualist (eg
pollinator–plant) network structure can be altered by global environmental change drivers …

The ability to predict the responses of ecological communities and individual species to
human-induced environmental change remains a key issue for ecologists and conservation …
