Because biodiversity is multidimensional and scale‐dependent, it is challenging to estimate
its change. However, it is unclear (1) how much scale‐dependence matters for empirical …

Estimating biodiversity change across the planet in the context of widespread human
modification is a critical challenge. Here, we review how biodiversity has changed in recent …

Ecologists routinely use statistical models to detect and explain interactions among ecological
drivers, with a goal to evaluate whether an effect of interest changes in sign or magnitude …

Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the Anthropocene
1 , 2 , exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central debate 3 , …

Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances
in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal …

While human activities are known to elicit rapid turnover in species composition through time,
the properties of the species that increase or decrease their spatial occupancy underlying …

Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity change are unequally
distributed across the world. Overlap in the distributions of different drivers have important …

Climate change is reshaping global biodiversity as species respond to changing temperatures.
However, the net effects of climate-driven species redistribution on local assemblage …

Humans have elevated global extinction rates and thus lowered global scale species
richness. However, there is no a priori reason to expect that losses of global species richness …
