Ancient occupation by humans leads to missing bird diversity in otherwise natural habitats

The paper finds that pre-historic human populations reduced bird community sensitivity to land-use change by eliminating sensitive species, leading to lower biodiversity in natural habitats today.

Competition and the century-long decline of a once common lizard, Sceloporus consobrinus

This study investigates competition between two lizard species, finding that S. olivaceus outcompetes S. consobrinus, contributing to its population decline.

Morphological limitations imposed on lizards facing urbanization

This study examines how urbanization filters lizard morphologies, finding that urban-tolerant species have reduced morphological diversity compared to natural species.

Integrating Over Uncertainty In Spatial Scale Of Response Within Multispecies Occupancy Models Yields More Accurate Assessments Of Community Composition

The paper introduces a Bayesian framework to integrate uncertainty in spatial scale of species response into multispecies occupancy models, improving accuracy in community composition assessments.
