Causes and consequences of animal dispersal strategies: relating individual behaviour to spatial dynamics
Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in understanding
the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species respond …

The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss
Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are
the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope …

Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances
Recent case studies showing substantial declines of insect abundances have raised alarm,
but how widespread such patterns are remains unclear. We compiled data from 166 long-…

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages
Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …
