As old as the hills: Pliocene palaeogeographical processes influence patterns of genetic structure in the widespread, common shrub Banksia sessilis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The impact of Quaternary glaciation on the development of phylogeographic structure in plant species is well documented. In unglaciated landscapes, phylogeographic patterns tend to reflect processes relating to persistence and stochasticity, yet other ...

Aridity-driven shift in biodiversity–soil multifunctionality relationships

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Relationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been reported to regulate ecosystem multifunctionality, but how their relative

How do we quantify biodiversity? All the evidence in one place. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Biodiversity is a multi-dimensional concept that is represented by a large variety of measures. This complexity and lack of consistency limits the development of a coherent scientific understanding of biodiversity and how properties, such as ecosystem ...

CityScapeLab Berlin: A Research Platform for Untangling Urbanization Effects on Biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Urban biodiversity conservation requires an understanding of how urbanization modulates biodiversity patterns and the associated ecosystem services. While important advances have been made in the conceptual development of urban biodiversity research over

Impact of climate change on biodiversity and food security: a global perspective—a review article

open access: yesAgriculture & Food Security, 2021
Climate change is happening due to natural factors and human activities. It expressively alters biodiversity, agricultural production, and food security. Mainly, narrowly adapted and endemic species are under extinction.
