Looking back on biodiversity change: lessons for the road ahead
Estimating biodiversity change across the planet in the context of widespread human
modification is a critical challenge. Here, we review how biodiversity has changed in recent …

[HTML][HTML] Challenges and opportunities for grassland restoration: A global perspective of best practices in the era of climate change
Grasslands are ubiquitous globally, and their conservation and restoration are critical to
combat both the biodiversity and climate crises. There is increasing interest in implementing …

[HTML][HTML] Insect decline in forests depends on species' traits and may be mitigated by management
Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between
species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have …

The undetectability of global biodiversity trends using local species richness
Although species are being lost at alarming rates, previous research has provided
conflicting results on the extent and even direction of global biodiversity change at the local …

[HTML][HTML] Regional occupancy increases for widespread species but decreases for narrowly distributed species in metacommunity time series
While human activities are known to elicit rapid turnover in species composition through
time, the properties of the species that increase or decrease their spatial occupancy …

Plant size, latitude, and phylogeny explain within-population variability in herbivory
Herbivory Variability Network*†, ML Robinson… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their
strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence …

Prioritize grassland restoration to bend the curve of biodiversity loss
In times of unprecedented climate change, ecological restoration efforts have a strong focus
on forests for the purpose of carbon sequestration. Grasslands, in contrast, remain relatively …

Biodiversity change in light of succession theory
Biodiversity is rapidly changing in the Anthropocene, but not all directional changes
observed in biodiversity time series are anthropogenic. We discuss key research findings in …

Evaluating plant lineage losses and gains in temperate forest understories: a phylogenetic perspective on climate change and nitrogen deposition
Global change has accelerated local species extinctions and colonizations, often resulting in
losses and gains of evolutionary lineages with unique features. Do these losses and gains …
