The causes of biodiversity change are of great scientific interest and central to policy efforts
aimed at meeting biodiversity targets. Changes in species diversity and high rates of …

Freshwater biota are more comprehensive and direct indicators of biological impacts, and
more meaningful to the public than water quality or physical habitat surrogates. Freshwater …

Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have
investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the …

Protected areas are of paramount relevance to conserving wildlife and ecosystem
contributions to people. Yet, their conservation success is increasingly threatened by human …

Across the globe, unprecedented declines have been reported across a range of taxa.
Among the most well documented are declines in bird populations, with most declines …

While some agricultural landscapes can support wildlife in the short term, it is uncertain how
well they can truly sustain wildlife populations. To compare population trends in different …

Warming temperatures are increasing rainfall extremes, yet arthropod responses to climatic
fluctuations remain poorly understood. Here, we used spatiotemporal variation in tropical …

Environmental mercury (Hg) contamination of the global tropics outpaces our understanding
of its consequences for biodiversity. Knowledge gaps of pollution exposure could obscure …

The climate variability hypothesis posits that an organism's exposure to temperature
variability determines the breadth of its thermal tolerance and has become an important …

Documenting patterns of spatiotemporal change in hyper‐diverse communities remains a
challenge for tropical ecology yet is increasingly urgent as some long‐term studies have …
