Overcoming biotic homogenization in ecological restoration
Extensive evidence shows that regional (gamma) diversity is often lower across restored
landscapes than in reference landscapes, in part due to common restoration practices that …

The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature
In many disturbed terrestrial landscapes, a subset of native generalist vertebrates thrives.
The population trends of these disturbance‐tolerant species may be driven by multiple …

Regional occupancy increases for widespread species but decreases for narrowly distributed species in metacommunity time series
While human activities are known to elicit rapid turnover in species composition through
time, the properties of the species that increase or decrease their spatial occupancy …

Global impacts of edge effects on species richness
Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

Environmental variables drive plant species composition and distribution in the moist temperate forests of Northwestern Himalaya, Pakistan
By assessing plant species composition and distribution in biodiversity hotspots influenced
by environmental gradients, we greatly advance our understanding of the local plant …

How many replicates to accurately estimate fish biodiversity using environmental DNA on coral reefs?
Quantifying fish species diversity in rich tropical marine environments remains challenging.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising tool to face this challenge …

Effects of human disturbances on wildlife behaviour and consequences for predator-prey overlap in Southeast Asia
Some animal species shift their activity towards increased nocturnality in disturbed habitats
to avoid predominantly diurnal humans. This may alter diel overlap among species, a …
