Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species
Oikos, EarlyView.There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The land carbon sink absorbs approximately 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, with forests accounting for most. Managing forests as Natural Climate Solutions is therefore a societal imperative, requiring models of where and how long carbon resides within these ecosystems. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on fine roots, the primary source of

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds can improve obesity by increasing energy consumption. This study aimed to identify and verify TCM compounds that promote adipose thermogenesis to alleviate obesity via transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, network pharmacology, and ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Vertical‐looking radar provides a first multi‐year analysis of migratory bat phenology in Europe. Bat activity was lowest in winter, increased from spring, and peaked in summer, with similar timing of pre‐ and post‐maternity migrations across years.

Reliability of Manual Counting for Thermal Census of Bats Within Human‐Made Structures
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Bats have a critical role in ecosystems worldwide, but monitoring their populations remains challenging, particularly in complex roosts within human‐made structures. We examined the reliability of manual bat counts from thermal infrared video, a method widely used to estimate populations and evaluate computer vision censusing approaches.
