We utilise the wealth of data accessible through the 40‐year‐old Long‐Term Ecological
Research (LTER) network to ask if aspects of the study environment or taxa alter the …

Many insect species are under threat from the anthropogenic drivers of global change.
There have been numerous well‐documented examples of insect population declines and …

Recent analyses have reported catastrophic global declines in vertebrate populations,.
However, the distillation of many trends into a global mean index obscures the variation that …

Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between
species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have …

1. Insects have emerged as causes célèbres for widespread concern about human effects
on global biodiversity. Here, we consider how insects provide opportunities both to …

Simple Summary Mediated through functional and numerical responses, the community
structure and diversity of small mammal communities over the long term may show the …

Regular reassessment of extinction risk is critical to prioritise conservation action during the
current period of rapid, anthropogenic biodiversity change. Butterflies are a flagship group …

Evidence for global insect declines mounts, increasing our need to understand underlying
mechanisms. We test the nutrient dilution (ND) hypothesis—the decreasing concentration of …

Infectious diseases are strong drivers of wildlife population dynamics, however, empirical
analyses from the early stages of pathogen emergence are rare. Tasmanian devil facial …

Large‐scale biodiversity databases have great potential for quantifying long‐term trends of
species, but they also bring many methodological challenges. Spatial bias of species …
