This study finds no consistent decline in vertebrate abundance or stability with distance from range or climate niche centres, challenging assumptions in ecological models.

The paper uses time-lagged causal inference to show climate and anthropogenic factors reduce seabird breeding success and population size, with delayed recruitment effects contributing to declines.

This study examines how different artificial light configurations affect pollination success in moth-pollinated plants, finding that linear light arrays increased seed set compared to point lights and no light.

The study examines how artificial linear features affect pollination in plant communities, finding they benefit bee-pollinated species more than fly or moth-pollinated ones.

The paper quantifies vertebrate population declines under various threats and finds that multiple interacting threats, not just habitat loss or exploitation, drive faster declines.

The paper introduces a functional Red List Index (fRLI) to monitor functional diversity trends by weighting species by morphological uniqueness, finding higher extinction risk for locally unique species.

This study shows that global bird diversity conservation needs both threat reduction and targeted recovery programs to prevent extinctions and functional diversity loss.

The paper shows weighted trait-abundance early warning signals improve prediction of population collapse by >60% in an experimental system.
