Two of the key drivers of biodiversity loss today are climate change and invasive species.
Climate change is already having a measurable impact on species distributions …

Change in land cover is thought to be one of the key drivers of pollinator declines, and yet
there is a dearth of studies exploring the relationships between historical changes in land …

Urban green spaces such as gardens often consist of native and exotic plant species, which
provide pollen and nectar for flower-visiting insects. Although some exotic plants are readily …

As drivers of global change, biological invasions have fundamental ecological
consequences. However, it remains unclear how invasive plant effects on resident animals …

Birds are commonly used as an example of the strongly declining farmland biodiversity in
