Biodiversity Loss and the Taxonomic Bottleneck: Emerging Biodiversity Science [PDF]

, 2006
Human domination of the Earth has resulted in dramatic changes to global and local patterns of biodiversity. Biodiversity is critical to human sustainability because it drives the ecosystem services that provide the core of our life-support system. As we,

A closer look at the functions behind ecosystem multifunctionality: A review

Journal of Ecology, 2020
In recent years there has been an upsurge of studies on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), or the ability of ecosystems to simultaneously provide multiple functions and/or services.

Determinants of plant species richness along elevational gradients: insights with climate, energy and water–energy dynamics

Ecological Processes
Background Understanding the patterns and processes of species distributions has long remained a central focus of biogeographical and ecological research. While the evidence for elevational patterns in species richness is widespread, our understanding of

What makes a good bat box? How box occupancy depends on box characteristics and landscape‐level variables

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Bat populations are in steep decline and presently, 16% of all species are classified as ‘threatened’. One main driver identified for this decline is the loss of natural roosting opportunities, caused by the removal of natural habitats.

Climate tolerances and trait choices shape continental patterns of urban tree biodiversity [PDF]

, 2016
Aim: We propose and test a climate tolerance and trait choice hypothesis of urban macroecological variation in which strong filtering associated with low winter temperatures restricts urban biodiversity while weak filtering associated with warmer ...

Mapping wisdom as a complex adaptive system [PDF]

This is the second of two papers concerning wisdom as an ecosystem appearing in sequential editions of Management & Marketing journal. The notion of wisdom as an ecosystem, or "the wisdom ecology", builds on work by Hays (2007) who first identified ...

Microclimate, an important part of ecology and biogeography

Global Ecology and Biogeography
Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to understand and mitigate climate and biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an overview of the current status of microclimate ecology and biogeography

Rates of sustainable forest harvest depend on rotation length and weathering of soil minerals [PDF]

, 2014
Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully following intensified harvests, the nutrients removed from the ecosystem in the ...
