Restoration of degraded land has been identified as a top research priority in conservation.
Fauna plays a critical role in the re-establishment of a functional ecosystem, yet fauna …

Globally, soils store two to three times as much carbon as currently resides in the
atmosphere, and it is critical to understand how soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and …

With accelerating urbanization, insect pollinators in urban ecosystems face challenges such
as reduced pollen sources, habitat fragmentation, and damage to the nesting environment …

Forest soil organic matter (SOM) is derived from both above-and belowground plant inputs,
with a significant portion of this plant-derived organic carbon being processed by fungal …

A major goal of community ecology is to identify the patterns of species associations and the
processes that shape them. Arboreal ants are extremely diverse and abundant, making them …

Aim The island species–area relationship (ISAR) quantifies how the number of species
increases as the area of an island or island‐like habitat gets larger and is one of the most …

In mosaic landscapes, environmental heterogeneity has been pointed out as an outstanding
driver of emergent biodiversity patterns. Whether environmental heterogeneity elicits an …

Multiple constraints (eg, time, funding, expertise) can impede the broad-scale monitoring of
human-induced loss of biodiversity. Non-random species co-occurrence provides an …

Understanding how species composition varies across space and time is fundamental to
ecology. While multiple methods having been created to characterize this variation through …

Because secretive marsh birds are difficult to detect, population status and habitat use for
these birds are not well known. We conducted repeated surveys for secretive marsh birds …
