1 Introduction Anthropogenic pressures are causing shifts in the composition of ecological assemblages (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005; Newbold et al. 2015; Walther et al. 2002). This can lead to declines in ecosystem functioning and impact the benefits that nature provides to people (Cardinale et al. 2012; Mace, Norris, and Fitter 2012). These benefits are often referred to as ecosystem services and they underpin human well-being (WWF 2018; Biggs et al. 2012).
