The rate of biodiversity loss is not slowing despite global commitments, and the depletion of
animal species can reduce the stability of ecological communities. Despite this continued …

Evolutionary rescue occurs when adaptive evolutionary change restores positive growth to
declining populations and prevents extinction. Here we outline the diagnostic features of …

An organism's ability to disperse influences many fundamental processes, from speciation
and geographical range expansion to community assembly. However, the patterns and …

Underwater cities have long been the subject of science fiction novels and movies, but the
“urban sprawl” of artificial structures being developed in marine environments has …

Forest canopies are dynamic interfaces between organisms and atmosphere, providing
buffered microclimates and complex microhabitats. Canopies form vertically stratified …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Dispersal is fundamental to ecological processes at all scales and levels of organization, but
progress is limited by a lack of information about the general shape and form of plant …

Understanding the movement of species' ranges is a classic ecological problem that takes
on urgency in this era of global change. Historically treated as a purely ecological process …

Global changes are severely affecting pollinator insect communities worldwide, resulting in
repeated patterns of species extirpations and extinctions. Whilst negative population trends …
