Oikos, EarlyView.No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

A reconstructed Pangea would result in lower biodiversity
Oikos, EarlyView.Driven by globalization and climatic change, rates of biological invasion are on the increase. Although these increasing rates are widely expected to lead to increased rates of extinction, it has been argued that these ‘newly arrived' species might increase biodiversity.

Dispersal‐limited birds at high risk from cattle farming deforestation in tropical forests
Oikos, EarlyView.Deforestation driven by farming is a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Although this impact is well documented, assessments at local or regional scales often underestimate biodiversity loss at broader national scales by up to 60%. A key question remains: how do farming activities affect functional diversity and species traits across different ...

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function
Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

The assembly of floral fungal communities in multihabitat landscapes
Oikos, EarlyView.The extent to which deterministic versus stochastic processes assemble floral fungal communities remains an ongoing ecological question. Three classic hypotheses from ecological theory that may contribute to floral fungal community assembly are: (H1) species sorting and environmental filtering when fungal community composition differs by plant species,

Some love them, others hate them: Understanding farmers' tree planting decisions in Scotland
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural land use system with potential to sequester carbon, create and repair habitats, enhance biodiversity and offer environmental and socio‐economic benefits, including improved agricultural productivity.

Unpacking the task of synthesis when weaving knowledge systems for biodiversity assessments
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The pivot towards evidence‐based conservation since 2000 has inspired global environmental assessments to gather evidence across multiple knowledge systems, including through co‐production with Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Knowledge co‐production is highlighted as a strategy for transformative change towards a just future that ...
