Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected …

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

Stop** declines in biodiversity is critically important, but it is only a first step toward

Our understanding of fire and grazing is largely based on small‐scale experimental studies
in which treatments are uniformly applied to experimental units that are considered …

The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire‐dependent
landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire–grazing …

The concept of refugee species provides a theoretical framework towards increasing the
predictive power of the 'declining population paradigm'through identifying species which are …

Abstract Fauna of North America's Great Plains evolved strategies to contend with the
region's extreme spatiotemporal variability in weather and low annual primary productivity …

The conservation of species is one of the foundations of conservation biology. Successful
