Habitat loss at stopover sites has resulted in population declines for many species, in particular shorebirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. However, the consequences of habitat loss on the characteristics of bird assemblages at specific stopover sites are still unclear. We compared the ...
This small, desert-adapted fox was once widely distributed across the floor of the southern San Joaquin Valley, but agriculture and development have replaced much of the species' habitat. In addition to pressure from continued habitat loss, the kit fox faces pressure from climate change. High ...
The loss and subdivision of habitat into smaller and more spatially isolated units (i.e. habitat loss and fragmentation) due to human actions have been shown to adversely affect species worldwide. A vast amount of research studying the effects of modified landscapes on species has been conducted ...
Variation in species-specific responses to habitat fragmentation and land cover structure in urban small mammal communities Urbanization is a key driver of habitat loss and fragmentation worldwide, yet many urban ecosystems contain vegetated habitat patches that support diverse ...

Marine primary producers and predators were the most disruptive trophic groups of the exotic species. Approximately 10% (that is, 2 out of 19) of the exotic species assessed in at least three independent studies had significant impacts on native species. Separating the innocuous from the ...
We show how bilateral trade data and a national biodiversity indicator, the Species Habitat Index (SHI), can be combined to quantify consumption-based impacts of agricultural trade on biodiversity. We found that the cropland area for agricultural trade has increased from 17 (in 2000) to 23.5% ...
species provide critical services to society(6),the role of biodiversity per se remains untested at the ecosystem level (14) We analyzed the effects of changes in marine biodiversity on fundamental ecosystem services by combining available data from sources ranging from small-scale experiments to glob...
Importantly, the loss of functional diversity for threatened species by habitat degradation is twice that for all other threats. Our findings highlight the importance of conservation programmes focused on preserving the functional diversity of life history strategies jointly with the phylogenetic representa...
(3) How will countries differ in the exposure of threatened species to climate change? Finally, (4) how does GME coincide with anticipated impacts of climate change on habitat suitability for populations? Using evidence of monitoring from the peer-reviewed and technical literature, we examine how...
