Biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning despite environmental change [PDF]

, 2021
Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning will persist under various types of global environmental ...

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box

Animals, 2023
Conservation translocations have become increasingly popular for ‘rewilding’ areas that have lost their native fauna. These multispecies translocations are complex and need to consider the requirements of each individual species as well as the influence ...

Biodiversity Recovery and Transformation Impacts for Wetland Biodiversity [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2018
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods for land use take both occupation and transformation impacts into account. However, for wetlands and impacts from water consumption, it is so far not possible to account for transformation impacts. It is our goal to close this research gap, by determining wetland recovery times and developing characterization factors

Limited phylogeographic and genetic connectivity in Acacia species of low stature in an arid landscape

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Widespread plant species are expected to maintain genetic diversity and gene flow via pollen and seed dispersal. Stature is a key life history trait that affects seed and potentially pollen dispersal, with limited stature associated with limited ...

Origins of biodiversity [PDF]

Palaeontology, 2012
Abstract: Palaeontologists have always had something to say about the origins of biodiversity. However, until recently, most of what they had to say was somewhat speculative. Following the inspirational suggestions by Simpson in the 1940s, the American ‘paleobiological revolution’ of the 1970s encouraged palaeontologists to think numerically and in ...
