The use of functional diversity analyses in ecology has grown exponentially over the past
two decades, broadening our understanding of biological diversity and its change across …

Species environmental niches are central to ecology, evolution, and global change
research, but their characterization and interpretation depend on the spatial scale …

Species traits are an essential currency in ecology, evolution, biogeography, and
conservation biology. However, trait databases are unavailable for most organisms …

Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the terrestrial ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).
Recent studies have revealed that the variations in terrestrial ecosystem functions are …

Aim Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (ie, β‐
diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine β‐diversity …

Humans have been driving a global erosion of species richness for millennia, but the
consequences of past extinctions for other dimensions of biodiversity—functional and …

Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Global commitments to protect 30% of land by 2030 present an opportunity to combat the
biodiversity crisis, but reducing extinction risk will depend on where countries expand …

The widespread use of species traits in basic and applied ecology, conservation and
biogeography has led to an exponential increase in functional diversity analyses, with> 10 …

Aim The world's islands support disproportionate levels of endemic avian biodiversity
despite suffering numerous extinctions. While intensive recent research has focused on …
