COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdown as a “Global Human Confinement Experiment” to investigate biodiversity conservation
Efforts to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) have led to the
unprecedented concurrent confinement of nearly two-thirds of the global population. The …

Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances
Recent case studies showing substantial declines of insect abundances have raised alarm,
but how widespread such patterns are remains unclear. We compiled data from 166 long …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Deep learning and computer vision will transform entomology
Most animal species on Earth are insects, and recent reports suggest that their abundance is
in drastic decline. Although these reports come from a wide range of insect taxa and regions …

Global acceleration in rates of vegetation change over the past 18,000 years
Global vegetation over the past 18,000 years has been transformed first by the climate
changes that accompanied the last deglaciation and again by increasing human pressures; …

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages
Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …
