Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

Aim Climate and land‐use change, the greatest pressures on biodiversity, can directly
influence each other. One key case is the impact land‐use change has on local climatic …

Rapid urbanization has highlighted ecological problems in the metropolitan area, with
increasing landscape fragmentation and severe threats to ecosystem health (EH). Studying …

Addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis requires identifying the winners and losers of
global change. Species are often categorized based on how they respond to habitat loss; for …

An improved understanding of life-history responses to current environmental variability is
required to predict species-specific responses to anthopogenic climate change. Previous …

Climate change is affecting animal populations around the world and one relatively
unexplored aspect of species vulnerability is whether and to what extent responses to …

Microclimatic variability in tropical forests plays a key role in sha** species distributions
and their ability to cope with environmental change, especially for ectotherms. Nonetheless …

An extension of the climate variability hypothesis is that relatively stable climate, such as that
of the tropics, induces distinct thermal bands across elevation that render dispersal over …

Context Habitat fragmentation per se (habitat subdivision independent of habitat loss) is a
major driver of biodiversity change, potentially due to its impacts on climate. Habitat …

Climate change and habitat loss pose the greatest contemporary threats to biodiversity, but
their impacts on populations largely vary across species. These differential responses could …
