Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

Agricultural intensification has substantially reduced soil biodiversity as well as
agroecosystem functions and services. Sustainable agroecosystems that increase crop …

The availability of carbon (C) from high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and
anthropogenic release of nitrogen (N) is increasing, but these increases are not paralleled …

All life is chemical. That fact underpins the develo** field of ecological stoichiometry, the
study of the balance of chemical elements in ecological interactions. This long-awaited book …

Agricultural land use is a primary driver of environmental impacts on streams. However, the
causal processes that shape these impacts operate through multiple pathways and at …

▪ Abstract Animals are important in nutrient cycling in freshwater ecosystems. Via excretory
processes, animals can supply nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) at rates comparable to …

The role of animals in modulating nutrient cycling [hereafter, consumer‐driven nutrient
dynamics (CND)] has been accepted as an important influence on both community structure …

Loss of species caused by widespread stressors, such as drought and fragmentation, is
likely to be non‐random depending on species abundance in the community. We …

Abstract C, N and P are three of the most important elements used to build living beings, and
their uptake from the environment is consequently essential for all organisms. We have …

Species conservation practice, as opposed to principle, generally emphasizes species at
risk of imminent extinction. This results in priority lists principally of those with small …
