Extinction of species, and even clades, is a normal part of the macroevolutionary process.
However, several times in Earth history the rate of species and clade extinctions increased …

Dispersal and foodweb dynamics have long been studied in separate models. However,
over the past decades, it has become abundantly clear that there are intricate interactions …

Habitat fragmentation threatens global biodiversity. To date, there is only limited
understanding of how the different aspects of habitat fragmentation (habitat loss, number of …

Habitat loss disrupts species interactions through local extinctions, potentially orphaning
species that depend on interacting partners, via mutualisms or commensalisms, and …

Intermittent rivers are the focus of a burgeoning subdiscipline of freshwater science, driven
by mounting recognition of their ubiquity, biodiversity, and climate sensitivity. However, our …

We develop a novel approach to analyse trophic metacommunities, which allows us to
explore how progressive habitat loss affects food webs. Our method combines classic …

Provision of additional food supplements for the purpose of biological conservation in
ecosystems has of late been intensely researched by agriculturalists, biologists and …

Despite years of attention, the dynamics of species constrained to disperse within riverine
networks are not well captured by existing metapopulation models, which often ignore local …

It has typically been assumed that habitat destruction, characterized by habitat loss and
fragmentation, has consistently negative effects on biodiversity. While numerous empirical …

The structure of interactions between species within a community plays a key role in
maintaining biodiversity. Previous studies found that the effects of these structures might …
