Worldwide, human activities are rapidly changing land cover and its spatial configuration.
While it is widely acknowledged that habitat loss is a major cause of biodiversity loss, there …

Habitat loss is driving the extirpation of fauna across Earth. Many species are now absent
from vast areas where they once occurred in inhabited continents, yet we do not have a …

Land-use and land-cover change strongly affect biodiversity patterns and are assumed to be
growing threats in the future. Particularly increasing urbanisation may affect species turnover …

Passive acoustic monitoring, when coupled with automated signal recognition software, is a
useful technique for monitoring vocally active taxa. In this study, we evaluated the utility of …

Wildfire is a natural disturbance within many forest ecosystems and is rapidly becoming
more frequent and severe because of the combination of historical fire suppression and …

Climate warming threatens the future sustainability of mountains, and tropical mountains are
particularly threatened with loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services …

Birds are crucial for the functioning of Earth's ecosystems but bird population declines have
been documented worldwide in recent decades. A global assessment of potential causes of …

Context The decline of birds in farmland is of global concern. Aims The aim of this paper was
to provide a local-scale case study of the bird fauna of temperate inland eastern Australia's …

Recent evidence of forest bird declines worldwide is attributed to climate change and its
interactive effects with recent land-use changes such as forest loss and fragmentation, and …

In the present study, we evaluated the dynamics of native vegetation cover (NVC)
fragmentation from 1985 to 2018 in the most threatened basin of the Rio Tapajos (TRB), a …
