Sensitivity of North American grassland birds to weather and climate variability
Abstract Grassland birds in North America have declined sharply over the last 60 years,
driven by the widespread loss and degradation of grassland habitats. Climate change is …

Maximum temperatures determine the habitat affiliations of North American mammals
Addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis requires identifying the winners and losers of
global change. Species are often categorized based on how they respond to habitat loss; for …

Forest microclimate and composition mediate long‐term trends of breeding bird populations
Climate change is contributing to biodiversity redistributions and species declines. However,
cooler microclimate conditions provided by old‐growth forest structures compared with …

Cool shade and not‐so‐cool shade: How habitat loss may accelerate thermal stress under current and future climate
Worldwide habitat loss, land‐use changes, and climate change threaten biodiversity, and
we urgently need models that predict the combined impacts of these threats on organisms …

A multidimensional framework to quantify the effects of urbanization on avian breeding fitness
Urbanization has dramatically altered Earth's landscapes and changed a multitude of
environmental factors. This has resulted in intense land‐use change, and adverse …

Ongoing over-exploitation and delayed responses to environmental change highlight the urgency for action to promote vertebrate recoveries by 2030
To safeguard nature, we must understand the drivers of biodiversity loss. Time-delayed
biodiversity responses to environmental changes (ecological lags) are often absent from …

Assessing the global vulnerability of dryland birds to heatwaves
As global average surface temperature increases, extreme climatic events such as
heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, which can drive biodiversity responses …

Species‐level correlates of land‐use responses and climate‐change sensitivity in terrestrial vertebrates
Land‐use and climate change are major pressures on terrestrial biodiversity. Species'
extinction risk and responses to human pressures relate to ecological traits and other …
