Interacting disturbances reshape bird assemblages via divergent community trajectories across southeastern Australia

2025-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Species counts can remain stable even as ecological communities collapse. This paradox exposes a critical blind spot in biodiversity monitoring: richness metrics miss the compositional upheaval that defines modern ecological change. As human pressures intensify, specialists decline and generalists proliferate, creating numerically similar but functionally different communities. Using three decades of citizen-scien...
