Rarity has been a central topic for conservation and evolutionary biologists aiming to
determine the species characteristics that cause extinction risk. More recently, beyond the …

Motivation and aim Map** the spatial distribution of biodiversity is critical for
understanding its fundamental drivers (eg speciation, environmental filtering) as well as for …

Aim The process of urbanization can lead to specialist species being replaced by generalist
species in space and time, increasing similarity among bird communities. This phenomenon …

Urbanization, one of the most important anthropogenic impacts on Earth, is rapidly
expanding worldwide. This expansion of urban land‐covered areas is known to significantly …

Habitat conversion is driving biodiversity loss and restructuring species assemblages across
the globe. Responses to habitat conversion vary widely, however, and little is known about …

Although chronic anthropogenic disturbance (CAD) represents a significant threat to the
integrity of tropical biotas, few efforts have been made to understand its impacts. We address …

Open-source biodiversity databases contain a large number of species occurrence records
but are often spatially biased; which affects the reliability of species distribution models …

Aims Climate change is known to drive both the reshuffling of whole assemblages and
range shifts of individual species. Less is known about how local colonizations and …

Conserving functionally diverse bird communities in European farmland is becoming critical,
with no exception for regions of wine production. Management intensification combined with …

Urbanization is considered as one of the most important land-use and land-cover (LULC)
changes with multiple pervasive effects on biodiversity. However, the quantitative …
