Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

During the Anthropocene and other eras of rapidly changing climates, rates of change of
ecological systems can be described as fast, slow or abrupt. Fast ecological responses …

Historically, humans have managed food systems to maximize productivity. This pursuit has
drastically modified terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems globally by reducing species diversity …

Emergent properties of ecosystems are community attributes, such as structure and function,
that arise from connections and interactions (eg, predator–prey, competition) among …

Aim Many freshwater fishes are migrating poleward to more thermally suitable habitats in
response to warming climates. In this study, we aimed to identify which freshwater fishes are …

Gravel pit lakes are common across Europe. These novel ecosystems serve as model
systems to study human‐induced and natural colonisation of isolated lakes by fish. Fisheries …

Collecting well‐resolved empirical trophic networks requires significant time, money and
expertise, yet we are still lacking knowledge on how sampling effort and bias impact the …

Aim Environmental change affects metacommunity structure both directly—via abiotic factors
and dispersal that affect species occurrence—and indirectly—via complex interactions …

Aim The maintenance of broad‐scale connectivity patterns is suggested as a sustainable
strategy for biodiversity preservation. However, explicit approaches for quantifying the …

Human‐assisted introductions of exotic species are a leading cause of anthropogenic
change in biodiversity; however, context dependencies and interactions with co‐occurring …
