DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7029
Abstract: Abstract Globally, many insect populations are declining, prompting calls for action. Yet these findings have also prompted discussion about sampling methods and interpretation of long‐term datasets. As insect monitoring and research efforts increase, it is… read more here.

Extinction dynamics: The interplay of species traits and the spatial scales of metapopulation declines.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3840
Abstract: Global changes can lead to species declines and extinctions through their impacts on species habitats at two distinct spatial scales: habitat destruction, in which individual habitat patches are destroyed by land-use change or natural disasters,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-4041-y
Abstract: Plant trait expression is shaped by filters, which can alter trait means and variances, theoretically driving species toward an “optimum” trait value for a set of environmental conditions. Recent research has highlighted the ubiquity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780198835851.003.0012
Abstract: There is perhaps no more fundamental question in ecology than what determines the number and kinds of species found in a community and their relative abundances. This chapter lays out a powerful approach to answering… read more here.

A process‐based model supports an association between dispersal and the prevalence of species traits in tropical reef fish assemblages

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.04537
Abstract: Habitat dynamics interacting with species dispersal abilities could generate gradients in species diversity and prevalence of species traits when the latter are associated with species dispersal potential. Using a process-based model of diversification constrained by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.04507
Abstract: The response and effect trait framework, if supported empirically, would provide for powerful and general predictions about how biodiversity loss leads to loss in ecosystem function. This framework proposes that species traits will explain how… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d13030117
Abstract: The expansion of roads has threatened wildlife populations by driving casualties due to vehicle collisions. However, the ecological drivers of wildlife roadkills are not yet fully explored. We investigated the strength of landscape features and… read more here.
