How much data do we need? Reliability and data deficiency in global vertebrate biodiversity trends

This study assesses the reliability of global vertebrate biodiversity trends by simulating data deficiency and identifying factors affecting trend accuracy.

Disentangling the historical routes to community assembly in the global epicentre of biodiversity

This study investigates historical processes shaping species assembly along elevation gradients in tropical mountains, finding that displacement of elevation ranges upon contact explains most turnover, while conservatism explains most overlap.

multiplestressR: An R package to analyse factorial multiple stressor data using the additive and multiplicative null models

The paper introduces multiplestressR, an R package for analyzing multiple stressor data using additive and multiplicative null models to classify stressor interactions.

Are experiment sample sizes adequate to detect biologically important interactions between multiple stressors?

The paper shows small sample sizes in stressor interaction experiments fail to detect non-additive effects, recommending larger sample sizes and better definitions of biologically meaningful interactions.
