Understanding how human-modified landscapes affect the phylogenetic composition and assembly mechanisms of biological communities is critical for effe...

Ecological restoration is critical for mitigating habitat loss and providing ecosystem services. However, restorations often have lower diversity than...

Tropical forest loss can drive the extinction of forest-dependent species. Yet, non-forest species can proliferate in deforested landscapes, thus enab...

Phylogenies are increasingly incorporated into ecological studies on the basis that evolutionary relatedness broadly correlates with trait similarity....

1. Little attention has been paid to phylogenetic diversity during restoration initiatives. Because plant phylogenetic distance can be a surrogate for...

Although biodiversity loss is a critically important topic, our understanding of how both land abandonment and land-use intensification in semi-natura...

A phylogenetic perspective of community assembly can reveal new insights into how variation within dominant species interacts with the local species p...

1. Increasing agriculture intensification has led to dramatically improved crop yields; however, this shift in agricultural practice has been accompan...

Pest regulation is an important ecosystem service provided by biodiversity, as plants growing in species-rich communities often experience association...

Temperate forests, especially those in the densely populated regions of the world, are experiencing increasing levels of habitat degradation and biolo...
