ABSTRACT A growing body of evidence highlights the importance of biodiversity for
ecosystem stability and the maintenance of optimal ecosystem functionality. Conservation …

Herbivorous dinosaurs were abundant, species-rich components of Late Triassic–
Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems. Obligate high-fiber herbivory evolved independently on …

Mammalian herbivores can have pronounced effects on plant diversity but are currently
declining in many productive ecosystems through direct extirpation, habitat loss and …

A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that the temporal stability of communities
typically increases with diversity. The counterview to this is that dominant species, rather …

Biotic interactions are often ignored in assessments of climate change impacts. However,
climate‐related changes in species interactions, often mediated through increased …

Plant communities are often dispersal‐limited and zoochory can be an efficient mechanism
for plants to colonize new patches of potentially suitable habitat. We predicted that seed …

Question: Can the biodiversity of fens in Europe and North America be maintained through
the use of grazing (especially cattle grazing), fire, and/or cutting? Location: European and …

Changes in livestock grazing regimes are among the most important drivers of species loss
and decrease in functional diversity world‐wide. However, taxonomic and functional …

Feral horses occur on several continents, across a wide range of terrestrial biomes, and
have had marked impacts on ecosystems worldwide. Despite their oft-reported negative …

Semi‐natural grasslands are rich in biodiversity and thus important habitats for conservation,
yet they are experiencing rapid declines due to agricultural intensification and …
