We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and
population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly …

Dung beetles are increasingly used as a study taxon—both as bioindicators of
environmental change, and as a model system for exploring ecosystem functioning. The …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global
biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a …

Drastic biodiversity declines have raised concerns about the deterioration of ecosystem
functions and have motivated much recent research on the relationship between species …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than half of its …

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as
