Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits (2016)
Journal Article
Moretti, M., Dias, A. T., de Bello, F., Altermatt, F., Chown, S. L., Azcárate, F. M., …Berg, M. P. (2017). Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits. Functional Ecology, 31(3), 558-567. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.12776

Trait-based approaches are increasingly being used to test mechanisms underlying species assemblages and biotic interactions across a wide range of organisms including terrestrial arthropods and to investigate consequences for ecosystem processes. Su... Read More about Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits.

Impacts of climate change on national biodiversity population trends (2016)
Journal Article
Martay, B., Brewer, M., Elston, D., Bell, J., Harrington, R., Brereton, T., …Pearce-Higgins, J. (2017). Impacts of climate change on national biodiversity population trends. Ecography, 40(10), 1139-1151. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.02411

Climate change has had well-documented impacts on the distribution and phenology of species across many taxa, but impacts on species’ abundance, which relates closely to extinction risk and ecosystem function, have not been assessed across taxa. In t... Read More about Impacts of climate change on national biodiversity population trends.

The Unique Contribution of Rothamsted to Ecological Research at Large Temporal Scales (2016)
Book Chapter
Storkey, J., Macdonald, A., Bell, J., Clark, I., Gregory, A., Hawkins, N., …Whitmore, A. (2016). The Unique Contribution of Rothamsted to Ecological Research at Large Temporal Scales. In Advances in Ecological Research (3-42). (55). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.aecr.2016.08.002

The Rothamsted Estate in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, is home to the longest running ecological and agricultural experiments in the world that have generated unique data sets on the assembly and functioning of ecosystems that stretch back more than...

Phenological sensitivity to climate across taxa and trophic levels (2016)
Journal Article
Thackeray, S. J., Henrys, P. A., Hemming, D., Bell, J. R., Botham, M. S., Burthe, S., …Wanless, S. (2016). Phenological sensitivity to climate across taxa and trophic levels. Nature, 535, 241–245. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature18608

Differences in phenological responses to climate change among species can desynchronise ecological interactions and thereby threaten ecosystem function. To assess these threats, we must quantify the relative impact of climate change on species at dif... Read More about Phenological sensitivity to climate across taxa and trophic levels.
