The global decline in insect diversity is worrisome and little is known about insects' response
to land use change. Rove beetles (Staphylinidae) are megadiverse and a key component in …

Leaf-cutter ants belonging to the genus Atta are important ecosystem engineers and
conspicuous bioturbators in Neotropical regions acting as superorganisms. The Atta ants …

Habitat restoration is vital to ameliorate the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on animal
habitats. We reviewed the peer‐reviewed literature to examine where and how habitat …

Traditional species distribution modelling relies on the links between species and their
environments, but often such information is unavailable or unreliable. The objective of our …

Temperate grasslands are part of one of the biggest biomes on earth, sustaining high levels
of biodiversity and providing multiple ecosystem services. However, the area covered by this …

Biodiversity and ecosystem functions are highly threatened by global change. It has been
proposed that geodiversity can be used as an easy-to-measure surrogate of biodiversity to …

We investigated the patterns of taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) α and β‐diversities of
ants in a mountainous landscape along three dimensions, namely one temporal (seasonal) …

Aim Foraging activity is critical for animal survival. Comprehending how ecological drivers
influence foraging behaviour would benefit our understanding of the link between animals …

Land‐use change is the main driver of deforestation and land degradation resulting in the
loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in north‐eastern Madagascar. Vanilla, the …

When studying forest disturbances, it is essential to examine biodiversity from different
perspectives, which includes considering its taxonomic and functional facets. Indeed …
