Modeling climate adaptive habitat connectivity for conservation planning in Colombia

Ecography, EarlyView.
To remain effective under global change, conservation decisions must anticipate shifting climates, species responses to climate change and the dispersal pathways needed to track suitable climate. Yet most assessments of ecological connectivity do not consider how the landscape will change, or, if they do, they only consider a single future time point ...

Spatiotemporal Pattern Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of World Botanical Gardens Over Five Centuries

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a comprehensive review of the 500‐year spatiotemporal evolution of global botanical gardens, identifying three major development stages—initial exploration (1543–1699), steady expansion (1700–1899), and rapid proliferation (1900–2020)—with six distinct sub‐stages. We propose a tripartite driving framework grounded in colonial botany

Spatial Patterns of Seed Plants and Their Conservation Priorities in Jiangxi Province, China 中国江西省种子植物的空间格局及其保护优先区

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We comprehensively evaluated the seed plant diversity of Jiangxi province to address the regional biodiversity conservation of Asian subtropical evergreen broad‐leaved forests (EBLFs). Higher species diversity of seed plants was observed in eastern, southern, and western Jiangxi, with elevation and precipitation as mainly environmental factors.
