Divergent biodiversity change within ecosystems [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018
The Earth’s ecosystems are under unprecedented pressure, yet the nature of contemporary biodiversity change is not well understood. Growing evidence that community size is regulated highlights the need for improved understanding of community dynamics. As stability in community size could be underpinned by marked temporal turnover, a key question is the

Revealing uncertainty in the status of biodiversity change [PDF]

Nature
Biodiversity faces unprecedented threats from rapid global change1. Signals of biodiversity change come from time-series abundance datasets for thousands of species over large geographic and temporal scales.

Selection and biodiversity change [PDF]

Theoretical Ecology, 2019
There is a great need to understand how and why biodiversity, which we define as the variety of organisms found in a given place, changes over time. Current estimates suggest strikingly slow change in traditional measures of biodiversity. These estimates

Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018
Global concern about human impact on biological diversity has triggered an intense research agenda on drivers and consequences of biodiversity change in parallel with international policy seeking to conserve biodiversity and associated ecosystem ...

Using traditional ecological knowledge to understand and adapt to climate and biodiversity change on the Pacific coast of North America [PDF]

Ambio, 2019
We investigate the perceptions and impacts of climate change on 11 Indigenous communities in Northern British Columbia and Southeast Alaska. This coastal region constitutes an extremely dynamic and resilient social-ecological system where Indigenous ...

Human adaptation to biodiversity change: An adaptation process approach applied to a case study from southern India [PDF]

Ambio, 2019
Adaptation to environmental change, including biodiversity change, is both a new imperative in the face of global climate change and the oldest problem in human history.

Temperature-Driven Biodiversity Change: Disentangling Space and Time [PDF]

Bioscience, 2018
&NA; Temperature regimes have multiple spatial and temporal dimensions that have different impacts on biodiversity. Signatures of warming across these dimensions may contribute uniquely to the large‐scale species redistributions and abundance changes ...

Agricultural Management and Climatic Change Are the Major Drivers of Biodiversity Change in the UK [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Action to reduce anthropogenic impact on the environment and species within it will be most effective when targeted towards activities that have the greatest impact on biodiversity.

Cryptic biodiversity in a changing world [PDF]

Journal of Biology, 2007
DNA studies are revealing the extent of hidden, or cryptic, biodiversity. Two new studies challenge paradigms about cryptic biodiversity and highlight the importance of adding a historical and biogeographic dimension to biodiversity research.
