Soil protists: a fertile frontier in soil biology research
Protists include all eukaryotes except plants, fungi and animals. They are an essential, yet
often forgotten, component of the soil microbiome. Method developments have now …

Niche breadth predicts geographical range size: a general ecological pattern
The range of resources that a species uses (ie its niche breadth) might determine the
geographical area it can occupy, but consensus on whether a niche breadth–range size …

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages
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 …

Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines
The population extinction pulse we describe here shows, from a quantitative viewpoint, that
Earth's sixth mass extinction is more severe than perceived when looking exclusively at …

A communal catalogue reveals Earth's multiscale microbial diversity
Our growing awareness of the microbial world's importance and diversity contrasts starkly
with our limited understanding of its fundamental structure. Despite recent advances in DNA …

Assemblage time series reveal biodiversity change but not systematic loss
The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global
biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from biomes across …

Global distribution of earthworm diversity
Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems.
However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them …
