Combined effects of global change pressures on animal-mediated pollination
Pollination is an essential process in the sexual reproduction of seed plants and a key
ecosystem service to human welfare. Animal pollinators decline as a consequence of five …

Global meta-analysis reveals no net change in local-scale plant biodiversity over time
Global biodiversity is in decline. This is of concern for aesthetic and ethical reasons, but
possibly also for practical reasons, as suggested by experimental studies, mostly with plants …

The importance of forests in bumble bee biology and conservation
Declines of many bumble bee species have raised concerns because of their importance as
pollinators and potential harbingers of declines among other insect taxa. At present, bumble …

Habitat connectivity shapes urban arthropod communities: the key role of green roofs
The installation of green roofs, defined here as rooftops with a shallow soil cover and
extensive vegetation, has been proposed as a possible measure to mitigate the loss of …

Widespread decline in Central European plant diversity across six decades
Based on plant occurrence data covering all parts of Germany, we investigated changes in
the distribution of 2136 plant species between 1960 and 2017. We analyzed 29 million …

Site‐selection bias and apparent population declines in long‐term studies
Detecting population declines is a critical task for conservation biology. Logistical difficulties
and the spatiotemporal variability of populations make estimation of population declines …

Management of semi-natural grasslands benefiting both plant and insect diversity: The importance of heterogeneity and tradition
Biodiversity of semi-natural grasslands depends on the management practices used.
However, management systems suitable for one taxon, such as plants, can be detrimental to …

Nitrogen addition does not reduce the role of spatial asynchrony in stabilising grassland communities
While nitrogen (N) amendment is known to affect the stability of ecological communities,
whether this effect is scale‐dependent remains an open question. By conducting a field …
