TL;DR: A new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world is described and assessed.

TL;DR: The PREDICTS project as discussed by the authors provides a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use.

TL;DR: To investigate environmental variation and associated assemblage changes of carabid beetles along an urban–rural gradient, a large number of beetles have been collected in urban areas.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art of ecological connectivity research in urban areas is assessed, trends in study attributes are summarized, and knowledge gaps are highlighted.

TL;DR: Hannah et al. as mentioned in this paper provide a critical perspective with respect to identifying the theoretical core of hydroecology and ecohydrology and the disciplines' interdisciplinary (or multidisciplinary) nature.
