Studies of pairwise interactions have shown that an alien plant can affect the pollination of a
native plant, this effect being mediated by shared pollinators. Here we use a manipulative …

Extinction risk varies among species, and comparative analyses can help clarify the causes
of this variation. Here we present a phylogenetic comparative analysis of species-level …

Size‐selective harvesting, where the large individuals of a particular species are
preferentially taken, is common in both marine and terrestrial habitats. Preferential removal …

We introduce a mechanism for generating power law distributions, referred to as highly
optimized tolerance (HOT), which is motivated by biological organisms and advanced …

Marine biodiversity plays an important role in providing the ecosystem functions and
services which humans derive from the oceans. Understanding how this provisioning will …

Scientists of different disciplines have recognized the valuable role of terrestrial caves as
ideal natural laboratories in which to study multiple eco-evolutionary processes, from genes …

Biodiversity priority areas together should represent the biodiversity of the region they are
situated in. To achieve this, biodiversity has to be measured, biodiversity goals have to be …

Geohistorical data and analyses are playing an increasingly important role in conservation
biology practice and policy. In this review, we discuss examples of how the near-time and …

Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law
distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling …
