Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Megafauna: the ignored bioturbators
Marine Ecology Progress SeriesBioturbation is a process caused by animals that move particles and water in sediments. This influences gas and solute exchange, and organic matter concentrations through the sediment column. Bioturbators play an important role in biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Impact of reintroduced elaphure on soil carbon storage in eastern Jiangsu Province, China
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The reintroduction in the wild of elaphure or Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) in a coastal wetland in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province, in the absence of an apex predator has been shown to negatively impact the ecosystem through overgrazing, which, over time, can also degrade the soil's ability to sequester atmospheric carbon ...
