Tomlinson S, Lomolino M, Wood J, Anderson A, Perry G, Wilmshurst J, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2025 Jan; 964:178471. PMID: 39862497
Human overexploitation contributed strongly to the loss of hundreds of bird species across Oceania, including nine giant, flightless birds called moa. The inevitability of anthropogenic moa extinctions in New Zealand...

Boast A, Wood J, Cooper J, Bolstridge N, Perry G, Wilmshurst J
Biol Lett . 2025 Jan; 21(1):20240440. PMID: 39809323
Mycovores (animals that consume fungi) are important for fungal spore dispersal, including ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi symbiotic with forest-forming trees. As such, fungi and their symbionts may be impacted by mycovore...

Tomlinson S, Lomolino M, Wood J, Anderson A, Brown S, Haythorne S, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2024 Jul; 8(8):1472-1481. PMID: 39048729
Human settlement of islands across the Pacific Ocean was followed by waves of faunal extinctions that occurred so rapidly that their dynamics are difficult to reconstruct in space and time....

Tomlinson S, Lomolino M, Anderson A, Austin J, Brown S, Haythorne S, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Mar; 14(1):5261. PMID: 38438419
Drivers and dynamics of initial human migrations across individual islands and archipelagos are poorly understood, hampering assessments of subsequent modification of island biodiversity. We developed and tested a new statistical-simulation...

McKeown M, Burge O, Richardson S, Wood J, Mitchell E, Wilmshurst J
J Environ Manage . 2024 Feb; 354:120243. PMID: 38422571
In the last two centuries, a high proportion of peatlands have been lost or severely degraded across the world. The value of peatlands is now well-recognised for biodiversity conservation, flood...

Strandberg N, Steinbauer M, Walentowitz A, Gosling W, Fall P, Prebble M, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2024 Jan; 8(3):511-518. PMID: 38225430
The increasing similarity of plant species composition among distinct areas is leading to the homogenization of ecosystems globally. Human actions such as ecosystem modification, the introduction of non-native plant species...

Walentowitz A, Lenzner B, Essl F, Strandberg N, Castilla-Beltran A, Fernandez-Palacios J, et al.
Ecol Lett . 2023 Mar; 26(5):729-741. PMID: 36958810
Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are, among others, largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance that predate...

McKeown M, Mitchell E, Amesbury M, Blandenier Q, Charman D, Duckert C, et al.
Eur J Protistol . 2021 Aug; 81:125789. PMID: 34416513
New Zealand (NZ) is a well-known hotspot of biodiversity and endemism for macroscopic organisms, but its microbial diversity is comparatively poorly documented. We assembled all records on NZ testate amoebae...

Nogue S, Santos A, Birks H, Bjorck S, Castilla-Beltran A, Connor S, et al.
Science . 2021 Apr; 372(6541):488-491. PMID: 33926949
Islands are among the last regions on Earth settled and transformed by human activities, and they provide replicated model systems for analysis of how people affect ecological functions. By analyzing...

Wood J, Burge O, Bolstridge N, Bonner K, Clarkson B, Cole T, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Jan; 16(1):e0243363. PMID: 33406114
Globally, wetlands are in decline due to anthropogenic modification and climate change. Knowledge about the spatial distribution of biodiversity and biological processes within wetlands provides essential baseline data for predicting...
