Vast expanses of tropical forests worldwide are being impacted by selective logging. We
evaluate the environmental impacts of such logging and conclude that natural timber …

Almost all world's forest areas are predicted to be near edges by 2100, making the detection
and prediction of biodiversity responses to edges an urgent need. Yet, idiosyncratic …

An organism's ability to disperse influences many fundamental processes, from speciation
and geographical range expansion to community assembly. However, the patterns and …

Warming from climate change is expected to reduce body size of endotherms, but studies
from temperate systems have produced equivocal results. Over four decades, we collected …

The fragmentation of forests is a dominant human impact worldwide with major implications
for the conservation and management of ecosystems. Although many studies have …

Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A
prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical landscape disturbance at higher …

We examined the response of vascular plant species richness to long‐term habitat loss and
fragmentation of Estonian calcareous grasslands (alvars). The current number of habitat …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …

Vertebrates perform key roles in ecosystem processes via trophic interactions with plants
and insects, but the response of these interactions to environmental change is difficult to …

Movements of organisms between habitat remnants can affect metapopulation structure,
community assembly dynamics, gene flow and conservation strategy. In the tropical …
