Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

First Record of Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) Parasitizing White Mango Scale in Kenya: Its Potential Distribution and Prospects in Biocontrol

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is one of the most destructive pests of mango worldwide. Its current management in most of the invaded areas largely depends on the intensive use of chemical insecticides.

The influence of bioclimate on soil microbial communities of cork oak

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Abstract Background Soil microbiomes are important to maintain soil processes in forests and confer protection to plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. These microbiomes can be affected by environmental changes.

Comparative Analysis of Correlative Modeling Methods in Predicting North American Bird Abundance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study compares nine ecological niche model (ENM) methods to predict North American bird abundance and finds positive correlations between environmental suitability and abundance. Results highlight the potential of ENMs for abundance inference, with newer methods showing good performance and demonstrating that simpler data inputs can be effective ...

Spatial structure of the Kodar-Kalar orobiome botanical diversity on bioclimatic basis

BIO Web of Conferences, 2018
Bioclimatic substantiation of the vegetation spatial structure of the Kodar-Kalar orobiome on the basis of altitudinal vegetation divisions using the global climate model (BioClim) was carried out.

Coupling Climate Downscaling With Species Distribution Models to Identify Potential Climate Refugia for Giant Panda Forage Bamboos

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how climate change will affect the foundation of giant panda habitat—its bamboo food resources—at a biologically meaningful scale. While previous assessments often relied on coarse‐resolution climate data, we present the first 30 m‐resolution projections for all 20 key bamboo species across the panda'

Bioclimate change across the protected area network of Finland

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Protected areas (PAs) are crucial in conserving biodiversity under climate change. In boreal regions, trends of biologically relevant climate variables (i.e., bioclimate) in PAs have remained unquantified. We investigated the changes and variability of 11 key bioclimatic variables across Finland during the period 1961-2020 based on gridded climatology.

The Origins of Modern Species Distribution Modelling: Some Comments on the Vasconcelos et al. (2024) Review

Earth
A recent review of species distribution modelling (SDM) published in Earth contains much useful information. However, the introductory paragraphs lack basic information about the first SDM package called BIOCLIM, which became available in January 1984 ...

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Bioclimate of Jericho in Palestine

مجلة جامعة فلسطين التقنية للأبحاث, 2019
 Jericho is an ancient Canaanite Palestinian city and one of the oldest cities in history, which dates back to more than 10.000 BC (Stone Age). It is located near to the Jordan River, north of the Dead Sea, and north of Jerusalem. Moreover, it considered the lowest area in the earth and has a unique climatic zone.
