Disturbance and change in biodiversity [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Understanding how disturbance affects biodiversity is important for both fundamental and applied reasons. Here, I investigate how disturbances with different ecological effects change biodiversity metrics. I define three main types of disturbance effects: D disturbance (shifts in mortality rate), B

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.

A suite of essential biodiversity variables for detecting critical biodiversity change [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTKey global indicators of biodiversity decline, such as the IUCN Red List Index and the Living Planet Index, have relatively long assessment intervals. This means they, due to their inherent structure, function as late‐warning indicators that are retrospective, rather than prospective.
