Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global
biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a …

The terrestrial arthropod fauna of wetlands has been largely ignored by scientists compared
to other ecological elements, yet these organisms are among the most important influences …

Abstract The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing
Terrestrial Systems (https://www. nhm. ac. uk/our-science/our-work/biodiversity/predicts …

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as
habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global …

This chapter reviews invertebrate ecological research in major peatland areas of Europe,
Canada, the United States, and China. The terrestrial invertebrate fauna has been shown to …

Unique thermal and hydrologic regimes of rock-glacier and periglacial talus environments
support little-studied mountain ecosystems. We report the first studies of vascular plant and …

Habitat fragmentation accompanies habitat loss, and drives additional biodiversity change;
but few global biodiversity models explicitly analyse the effects of both fragmentation and …

Fens and wet meadows are important mountain wetland types, but influences on
assemblage structure of associated invertebrates are poorly understood compared with …

Countryside landscapes are composed of a range of human-dominated ecosystems that
now dominate the earth's terrestrial regions. In the tropics, the creation of these landscapes …
