The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend not only on their
presence but also on their local abundance. Progress in predictive spatial modelling has …

Quantifying the abundance of species is essential to ecology, evolution, and conservation.
The distribution of species abundances is fundamental to numerous longstanding questions …

Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate, and monitoring is crucial for
understanding the causal drivers and assessing solutions. Most biodiversity monitoring data …

Ecological research increasingly considers integrative relationships among phenomena at
broad spatial and temporal domains. However, such large‐scale inferences are commonly …

Abstract Information on species' distributions, abundances, and how they change over time
is central to the study of the ecology and conservation of animal populations. This …

Ensuring that conservation decisions are informed by the best available data is a
fundamental challenge in the face of rapid global environmental change. Too often, new …

Citizen science data are increasingly making valuable contributions to ecological studies.
However, many citizen science surveys are also designed to encourage wide participation …

Birds must contend with an array of anthropogenic threats during their migratory journeys.
Many migrants are killed due to encounters with artificial light, introduced species …

Aim Information on species' habitat associations and distributions, across a wide range of
spatial and temporal scales, is a fundamental source of ecological knowledge. However …

Aim Long‐term monitoring of biodiversity is necessary to identify population declines and to
develop conservation management. Because long‐term monitoring is labour‐intensive …
