Global climate change has been identified as a potential driver of observed insect declines,
yet in many regions, there are critical data gaps that make it difficult to assess how …

Extinctions occur when enough individual plants die without replacement to extirpate a
population, and all populations are extirpated. While the ultimate drivers of plant extinctions …

Aim Temperature is one of the main drivers sha** species diversity and assembly
processes. Yet, site‐specific effects of the local microclimate on species and trait …

Abstract Knowledge of biodiversity is unevenly distributed across the Tree of Life. In the long
run, such disparity in awareness unbalances our understanding of life on Earth, influencing …

Ecological risk assessments are legally required to ensure that there are no unacceptable
risks to living organisms from exposure to chemicals and other anthropogenic stressors …

Extinction risk is not randomly distributed among species but depends on species traits, their
relationship to climate and land use, and corresponding threats by global change. While …

Organic farming is considered the most sustainable form of modern soil cultivation. Yet it
often relies on the use of chemical compounds that are not necessarily harmless for the …

Islands are biodiversity hotspots that host unique assemblages. However, a substantial
proportion of island species are threatened and their long‐term survival is uncertain …

Land‐use and climate change are major pressures on terrestrial biodiversity. Species'
extinction risk and responses to human pressures relate to ecological traits and other …

Urbanisation, as an unstoppable global phenomenon, has led to decreasing connectivity
between habitats, which gives strong pressure on organisms. Current research has barely …
