Wildlife trade is a key driver of extinction risk, affecting at least 24% of terrestrial vertebrates.
The persistent removal of species can have profound impacts on species extinction risk and …

Food webs are a major focus and organizing theme of ecology, but the data used to
assemble them are deficient. Early debates over food-web data focused on taxonomic …

Enrichment of nutrients and loss of herbivores are assumed to cause a loss of plant diversity
in grassland ecosystems because they increase plant cover, which leads to a decrease of …

There has been much recent interest in the concept of rewilding as a tool for nature
conservation, but also confusion over the idea, which has limited its utility. We developed a …

The widespread extirpation of megafauna may have destabilized ecosystems and altered
biodiversity globally. Most megafauna extinctions occurred before the modern record …

Ecological niche differences are necessary for stable species coexistence but are often
difficult to discern. Models of dietary niche differentiation in large mammalian herbivores …

While human-driven biological invasions are rapidly spreading, finding scalable and
effective control methods poses an unresolved challenge. Here, we assess whether …

Rewilding should be central to the massive restoration efforts needed to overcome the
global biodiversity crisis and enhancing the biosphere's capacity to mitigate climate change …

Ecosystem restoration is one of the most promising strategies for conservation in the
Anthropocene. Within ecosystems, plant-animal interactions are critical to their functioning …

Aim How much stronger would the effects of herbivorous mammals be in natural ecosystems
if human‐linked extinctions and extirpations had not occurred? Many mammal species have …
