Humans are transforming the biosphere in unprecedented ways, raising the important
question of how these impacts are changing biodiversity. Here we argue that our …

Modern computer-intensive statistical methods play a key role in solving many problems
across a wide range of scientific disciplines. This new edition of the bestselling …

Geographic changes in species distributions toward traditionally cooler climes is one
hypothesized indicator of recent global climate change. We examined distribution data on …

Climate change is thought to promote the poleward movement of geographic ranges;
however, the spatial dynamics, mechanisms, and regional anthropogenic drivers associated …

Human activities have reorganized the earth's biota resulting in spatially disparate locales
becoming more or less similar in species composition over time through the processes of …

Aim We wanted to test whether urbanization has similar effects on biodiversity in different
locations, comparing the responses of ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) assemblages …

Understanding the susceptibility of highly mobile taxa such as migratory birds to global
change requires information on geographic patterns of occurrence across the annual cycle …

We are living in a time of rapid environmental changes caused by anthropogenic pressures.
Besides direct human exploitation of plant and animal populations and habitat …

Assessments of spatial patterns of biodiversity change are essential to detect a signature of
anthropogenic impacts, inform monitoring and conservation programs, and evaluate …

Anthropogenic activities have weakened biogeographical barriers to dispersal resulting in
the global spread and establishment of an increasing number of non‐native species. We …
