Biodiversity faces many threats and these can interact to produce outcomes that may not be
predicted by considering their effects in isolation. Habitat loss and fragmentation (hereafter …

Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

The rapid expansion of urban areas worldwide is leading to native habitat loss and
ecosystem fragmentation and degradation. Although the study of urbanisation's impact on …

Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and
abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate …

Global biodiversity assessments have highlighted land-use change as a key driver of
biodiversity change. However, there is little empirical evidence of how habitat …

Biotic responses to global change include directional shifts in organismal traits. Body size,
an integrative trait that determines demographic rates and ecosystem functions, is thought to …

Extreme climate events, together with anthropogenic land‐use changes, have led to the rise
of megafires (ie, fires at the top of the frequency size distribution) in many world regions …

Urbanization facilitates synanthropic species such as rodents, which benefit the diets of
many predators in cities. We investigated how urbanization affects the feeding ecology of …

Context The concept of the fire regime is central to understanding and managing fire-prone
ecosystems globally, and information on past regimes can provide useful insights into …

Fire alters habitat structure, thereby influencing fauna reliant on specific habitat features,
particularly those with low dispersal capability such as reptiles. We quantified reptile …
