Exhaustive biodiversity data, covering all the taxa in an environment, would be fundamental
to understand how global changes influence organisms living at different trophic levels, and …

Most terrestrial large mammals went extinct on different continents at the end of the
Pleistocene, between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Besides the loss in species diversity …

The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is
evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or …

Addressing climate change and biodiversity loss will be the defining ecological, political,
and humanitarian challenge of our time. Alarmingly, policymakers face a narrowing window …

Across the last~ 50,000 years (the late Quaternary) terrestrial vertebrate faunas have
experienced severe losses of large species (megafauna), with most extinctions occurring in …

Understanding how biodiversity has changed through time is a central goal of evolutionary
biology. However, estimates of past biodiversity are challenged by the inherent …

Despite the development of network science, we lack clear heuristics for how far different
disturbance types propagate within and across species interaction networks. We discuss the …

Vertebrate species worldwide are currently facing significant declines in many populations.
Although we have gained substantial knowledge about the direct threats that affect …

Today's biodiversity crisis fundamentally threatens the habitability of the planet, thus ranking
among the primary human challenges of our time. Much emphasis is currently placed on the …

Camera trap** has revolutionized wildlife ecology and conservation by providing
