In this paper, we tested whether the spatial distribution of a given species in more or less
fragmented and disturbed landscapes depends on the species habitat specialization. We …

Habitat loss and degradation that comes as a result of human activity is the single biggest
threat to biodiversity in the world today. Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change is a …

This concise introductory text provides a complete overview of biodiversity-what it is, how it
arose, its distribution, why it is important, human impact upon it, and what should be done to …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

We review evidence from around the world for bumblebee declines and review
management to mitigate threats. We find that there is evidence that some bumblebee …

Global climate change is altering community composition across many ecosystems due to
nonrandom species turnover, typically characterized by the loss of specialist species and …

For more than 50 y ecologists have believed that spatial heterogeneity in habitat conditions
promotes species richness by increasing opportunities for niche partitioning. However, a …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

Global climate change is having devastating effects on habitat structure in coralreef
ecosystems owing to extreme environmental sensitivities and consequent bleaching of …

Climate change has led to major changes in the phenology (the timing of seasonal activities,
such as flowering) of some species but not others. The extent to which flowering-time …
