The interacting effects of precipitation and microhabitat on non‐native seed predation are contingent on temporal dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

Conservation gap analysis for wild grapevines (Vitis L.) of the Americas

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild grapevines (Vitis L.) native to the Americas are ecologically and culturally important plants that are also critical to the global cultivated grape industry as sources of traits for crop innovation, but many of these species are poorly documented and insufficiently conserved.

The potential global distribution of Drosophila suzukii, including consideration of irrigation and Australian host cropping areas

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This CLIMEX model of Drosophila suzukii fits the global distribution very well and includes irrigation effects. It indicates that D. suzukii could threaten all Australian berry and cherry production areas if introduced. Abstract BACKGROUND Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major fruit fly pest of cherries and berries across ...

Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...
