We are facing a biodiversity crisis at the same time as we are acquiring an unprecedented
view of the world's biodiversity. Vast new datasets (eg, species distributions, traits …

Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

The contributions of soil microbial diversity for the multifunctionality of ecosystem functions
remain little understood despite the well-known importance of soil microbial communities for …

Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Human-driven threats are changing biodiversity, impacting ecosystem services. The loss of
one species can trigger secondary extinctions of additional species, because species …

We develop a novel approach to analysing decarbonisation strategies by linking global
resource inventories with demographic systems. Our 'mine-town systems' approach …

Managing ecosystems to provide ecosystem services in the face of global change is a
pressing challenge for policy and science. Predicting how alternative management actions …

The accelerating exhaustion of non-renewable natural resources and the urgent need for
sustainable practices have prompted the exploration of alternative methodologies in …

Networks of species interactions underpin numerous ecosystem processes, but
comprehensively sampling these interactions is difficult. Interactions intrinsically vary across …

Species invasions can have substantial impacts on native species and ecosystems, with
important consequences for biodiversity. How these disturbances drive changes in the …
