Impacts of past abrupt land change on local biodiversity globally [PDF]
, 2019 Abrupt land change, such as deforestation or agricultural intensification, is a key driver of biodiversity change. Following abrupt land change, local biodiversity often continues to be influenced through biotic lag effects.

‘I owe it to the animals’: The bidirectionality of Swiss alpine farmers' relational values
People and Nature, 2023 Relational values have recently been proposed as a concept to expand our understanding of environmental values from the categories previously dominating the discourse: instrumental (nature for people's sake) and intrinsic values (nature for its own sake).

Specialist Birds Replace Generalists in Grassland Remnants as Land Use Change Intensifies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The ideal free distribution theory predicts that mobile species distribute themselves among habitat patches so as to optimize their fitness. Changes in land use alter the quality of habitat patches and thereby affect the distribution of species ...

Temperature-related biodiversity change across temperate marine and terrestrial systems
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019 Climate change is reshaping global biodiversity as species respond to changing temperatures. However, the net effects of climate-driven species redistribution on local assemblage diversity remain unknown.

Compensation of Wild Plants Weakens the Effects of Crop-Wild Gene Flow on Wild Rice Populations
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Crop-wild gene flow may alter the fitness of the recipient i.e., crop-wild hybrids, then potentially impact wild populations, especially for the gene flow carrying selective advantageous crop alleles, such as transgenes conferring insect resistance ...
