Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptual models across …
Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Impact of climate change on biodiversity and food security: a global perspective—a review article
MG Muluneh - Agriculture & Food Security, 2021 - Springer
Climate change is happening due to natural factors and human activities. It expressively
alters biodiversity, agricultural production, and food security. Mainly, narrowly adapted and …

Environmental factors driving the effectiveness of European agri‐environmental measures in mitigating pollinator loss–a meta‐analysis
In Europe, agri‐environmental schemes (AES) have been introduced in response to
concerns about farmland biodiversity declines. Yet, as AES have delivered variable results …

How agricultural intensification affects biodiversity and ecosystem services
As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for food, fodder, fibre and
bioenergy will increase. In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has driven the …

Life‐history traits predict species responses to habitat area and isolation: a cross‐continental synthesis
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 969–979 Abstract There is a lack of quantitative syntheses of
fragmentation effects across species and biogeographic regions, especially with respect to …

Intensive agriculture erodes β‐diversity at large scales
Biodiversity is declining from unprecedented land conversions that replace diverse, low‐
intensity agriculture with vast expanses under homogeneous, intensive production. Despite …

Optimizing agri-environment schemes for biodiversity, ecosystem services or both?
Agri-environment schemes (AES) have been introduced to mitigate negative environmental
effects caused by increased agricultural intensification in Europe. However, there is still …

Biodiversity declines due to abandonment and intensification of agricultural lands: patterns and mechanisms
Declines in plants and herbivorous insects due to land use abandonment and intensification
have been studied in agricultural areas worldwide. We tested four hypotheses, which were …

[HTML][HTML] Breakpoints in butterfly decline in Central Europe over the last century
Recent studies indicated severe decline of insect diversity and abundance across major
parts of Central Europe. Theoretical studies showed that the drivers behind biodiversity loss …

Combining range and phenology shifts offers a winning strategy for boreal Lepidoptera
Species can adapt to climate change by adjusting in situ or by dispersing to new areas, and
these strategies may complement or enhance each other. Here, we investigate temporal …
