Ecological drift drives anthropogenic impacts on multiple facets of aquatic insect diversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.70102
Abstract: Human disturbance is a major threat to natural ecosystems globally. However, how disturbances alter the interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes underlying community structure and diversity remains to be clarified, as evidence from natural systems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-024-02901-1
Abstract: Human impacts on ecosystems often transcend ecosystem boundaries and environmental realms, complicating ecosystem assessment, conservation, and management. Whether and how different impacts affect ecosystems in distinct but adjacent domains remains untested in many settings, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13199-021-00770-8
Abstract: Presence and functional roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in wetland environment have gained a global importance in recent past. Wetlands build a low-oxygen atmosphere, forming a completely different ecological environment for AM fungi, known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.03.096
Abstract: Human occupancy of beaches is an important cause of environmental and landscape transformations, some of which are identifiable through vegetation analysis. Commonly, arboreal vegetation has been socially perceived in a positive way, as it contributes… read more here.

Deconstructing the geography of human impacts on species’ natural distribution
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52993-0
Abstract: It remains unknown how species’ populations across their geographic range are constrained by multiple coincident natural and anthropogenic environmental gradients. Conservation actions are likely undermined without this knowledge because the relative importance of the multiple… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.0921
Abstract: Fossil remains provide useful insights into the long-term impact of anthropogenic phenomena on faunas and are often used to reveal the local (extirpations) or global (extinctions) losses of populations or species. However, other phenomena such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2024.0026
Abstract: Humans have interacted with, and impacted, marine ecosystems for millennia. During this time, the oceans have experienced ecosystem degradation through harvesting, habitat change, pollution, the introduction of invasive species and climate change. Despite extensive documentation… read more here.
