Across the globe, unprecedented declines have been reported across a range of taxa.
Among the most well documented are declines in bird populations, with most declines …

Bird‐and bat‐mediated biocontrol benefits the productivity of tropical commodity crops such
as cacao, but the ecological interactions driving these ecosystem services remain poorly …

Herbivorous insects consume a large proportion of the energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems
and play a major role in the dynamics of plant populations and communities. However, high …

The distribution of seasonal precipitation would profoundly affect the dynamics of carbon
fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the impacts of extreme …
