Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

In 2004, Navjot Sodhi and colleagues warned that logging and agricultural conversion of
Southeast Asia's forests were leading to a biodiversity disaster. We evaluate this prediction …

Land-use change is one of the main drivers of current and likely future biodiversity loss.
Therefore, understanding how species are affected by it is crucial to guide conservation …

Southeast Asia experiences one of the highest rates of deforestation in the tropics due to
agricultural expansion, logging, habitat fragmentation and urbanization, which are expected …

Southeast Asia is a hotspot of imperilled biodiversity, owing to extensive logging and forest
conversion to oil palm agriculture. The degraded forests that remain after multiple rounds of …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than two-thirds …

Aim Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (ie, β‐
diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine β‐diversity …

The importance of landscape heterogeneity to biodiversity may depend on the size of the
geographic range of species, which in turn can reflect species traits (such as habitat …

The goal of the present study is to assess how landscape configuration influenced the
distribution of life‐history traits across bird, carabid beetle and butterfly communities of …

The management of tropical forest in timber concessions has been proposed as a solution to
prevent further biodiversity loss. The effectiveness of this strategy will likely depend on …
