A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …

Climate change is reshaping global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but
recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and …

Widespread fire activity taxes suppression resources and can compound wildfire hazards.
We examine the geographic synchronicity of fire danger across western United States …

A major challenge in understanding the response of populations to climate change is to
separate the effects of local drivers acting independently on specific populations, from the …

Dendritic habitats, such as river ecosystems, promote the persistence of species by
favouring spatial asynchronous dynamics among branches. Yet, our understanding of how …

The risk of zoonotic spillover from reservoir hosts, such as wildlife or domestic livestock, to
people is shaped by the spatial and temporal distribution of infection in reservoir …

The impacts of climate change have re‐energized interest in understanding the role of
climate in setting species geographic range edges. Despite the strong focus on species' …

Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival, leaving seed production as
a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global …

Habitat fragmentation and climate change are both prominent manifestations of global
change, but there is little knowledge on the specific mechanisms of how climate change may …

The 'Moran effect'predicts that dynamics of populations of a species are synchronized over
similar distances as their environmental drivers. Strong population synchrony reduces …
