Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

To ensure the long-term persistence of biodiversity, conservation strategies must account for
the entire range of climate change impacts. A variety of spatial prioritisation techniques have …

The definition of conservation targets is strategic for the protection of biodiversity and must
ensure the representativeness and persistence of biodiversity components. This is …

Human activity and land‐use change are dramatically altering the sizes, geographical
distributions and functioning of biological populations worldwide, with tremendous …

Aim The impact of multiple stressors on biodiversity is one of the most pressing questions in
ecology and biodiversity conservation. Here we critically assess how often and efficiently …

Machine learning, an important branch of artificial intelligence, is increasingly being applied
in sciences such as forest ecology. Here, we review and discuss three commonly used …

With the high rate of ecosystem change, effective systematic conservation planning must
account for ongoing and imminent threats to biodiversity to ensure its persistence …

Research indicates that urban ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon. However, few
studies have examined how the spatial features of park greenspace affect its carbon …

ABSTRACT A fundamental goal of ecological research is to understand and model how
processes generate patterns so that if conditions change, changes in the patterns can be …

Empirical studies and habitat suitability modeling project significant shifts in species
distributions in response to climate change. Because habitat fragmentation can impede …
