The question 'what renders a species extinction prone'is crucial to biologists. Ecological
specialization has been suggested as a major constraint impeding the response of species …

Seed dispersing animals, ranging from small insects to large mammals, provide a crucial
service for a large number of plant species worldwide. However, a decline in dispersers due …

Agricultural intensification has caused a decline in structural elements in European
farmland, where natural habitats are increasingly fragmented. The loss of habitat structures …

Ambient noise influences the availability and use of acoustic information in animals in many
ways. While much research has focused on the effects of noise on acoustic communication …

Understanding how interspecific variation in functional traits influences species' capacity to
persist in fragments and use patches in fragmented landscapes is fundamental for the …

Differences in diet can explain resource partitioning in apparently similar, sympatric species.
Here, we analyzed 1,252 fecal drop**s from five species (Eptesicus nilssonii, Myotis …

Anthropogenic land-use change is an important driver of global biodiversity loss and
threatens public health through biological interactions. Understanding these landscape …

While artificial lighting is a major component of global change, its biological impacts have
only recently been recognised. Artificial lighting attracts and repels animals in taxon-specific …

The effectiveness of organic farming for promoting biodiversity has been widely
documented, yet most studies have been undertaken in temperate agroecosystems with a …

It is generally recognized that roads can adversely affect local animal populations but little is
known how roads affect bats. In particular, no study compared the response of bats that differ …
