TL;DR: Joint spatial analysis of stressors and ecosystem services can provide a critical foundation for maximizing social and ecological benefits from restoration investments and find that many important areas for fisheries and recreation are subject to high stress, indicating that ecosystem degradation could be threatening key services.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of land-use change to biofuel crops on biodiversity were investigated and management practices that reduce chemical inputs, increase heterogeneity within fields, and delay harvests until bird breeding has ceased were recommended.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a spatial database of road crossings and dams in the North American Great Lakes basin and show that only 36% of the road crossings in the area are fully passable to fish.

TL;DR: It is found that using canopy vertical structure metrics provided unique information for models of habitat quality and spatial patterns of prevalence, and canopy structure metrics derived from waveform lidar, which will be available on future satellite missions, can advance multiple aspects of biodiversity research.

TL;DR: Evidence that a migratory songbird, the black–throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), is regulated by multiple density–dependence mechanisms in its breeding quarters is provided.
