Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has emerged as a transformative tool for applied ecology,
conservation and biodiversity monitoring, but its potential contribution to fundamental …

Ensuring reliable supply of services from nature is key to the sustainable development and
well-being of human societies. Varied and frequently complex relationships between …

Ecologists have many ways to measure and monitor ecosystems, each of which can reveal
details about the processes unfolding therein. Acoustic recording combined with machine …

With the continued adoption of passive acoustic monitoring as a tool for rapid and high-resolution
ecosystem monitoring, ecologists are increasingly making use of a suite of acoustic …

Amidst the global extinction crisis, climate change will expose ecosystems to more frequent
and intense extreme climatic events, such as heatwaves. Yet, whether predator species loss…

Biodiversity–stability relationships have frequently been studied in ecology, with the recent
integration of traits to explain community stability over time. Classical theory underlying the …

The insurance effect of biodiversity—that diversity stabilises aggregate ecosystem properties—is
mechanistically underlain by inter‐ and intraspecific trait variation in organismal …

Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather events
across the globe. Understanding the capacity for ecological communities to withstand and …

Our knowledge of ecological stability is built on assumptions of scale. These assumptions
limit our ability to reach a generalizable and mechanistic understanding of stability under …

As conservation increasingly recognizes the importance of species’ functional roles in
ecosystem processes, studies are shifting away from measuring species richness towards …
