Human alteration of the global environment has triggered the sixth major extinction event in the history of life and caused widespread changes in the global distribution of organisms. These changes in biodiversity alter ecosystem processes and change the

conserve, and restore ecosystems by providing a framework for considering the causes and consequences of biodiversity declines (Figure 1). First, maintenance of biodiversity research has focused on the effects of natural processes on biodiversity (Figure 2A). Second, biodiversity-stability research has...
Biodiversity is changing on both global and local scales, motivating research to understand the consequences of these changes for how communities and ecosystems function. Here, we explore the role of life history strategies in determining the functional roles that species play in communities and ...

are “imperative reasons of overriding public interest” for the developments. The key is public interest, and the onus becomes to demonstrate that conserving biodiversity is in the public interest. But herein lies the problem: how can one convince decision makers that biodiversity is worth ...
Human activities are changing natural communities and ecosystems at unprecedented rates and spatial scales. Two of the most alarming of these modifications are the exchange of biota among previously isolated regions (introductions) and the loss of native
Resolving current concerns about the role of biodiversity on ecosystems calls for understanding the separate roles of changes in species numbers and of composition. Recent work shows that primary productivity often, but not always, saturates with species
