Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...

Spatio‐temporal dynamics of ringed seal density and habitat use in the Arctic's Last Ice Area

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming at approximately four times the global rate, driving widespread decline in sea ice extent, thickness, and seasonal duration. The ecological consequences of these rapid changes remain poorly understood within the Last Ice Area, a region that includes northern Ellesmere Island and the northwest of Greenland, projected to retain ...

Taxon‐dependent multisite species turnover in fragmented habitats: comparing zeta diversity across birds, butterflies, and cursorial hunting spiders

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Disentangling the interactive effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biodiversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic activity threatens biodiversity through climate change, habitat fragmentation, and increasing frequency and scale of disturbance. Various theoretical studies have sought to shed light on how these factors could promote or hinder the coexistence of species. However, our understanding of the relative importance of, and interactions between,
