Mammal functional diversity loss under human-induced disturbances in arid lands

2012-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Human activities are drastically changing the composition of mammal communities and increasing species local extinctions. Although it is well recognized that species influence the way in which ecosystems function through the diversity of resource use traits, little is known regarding the consequences of ecosystem functioning on changing biodiversity. We summarized studies that analyzed the effects of anthropogenic...
