World's five worst invasive alien ant threats to biodiversity hotspots will not decrease significantly under future climatic conditions

Global Ecology and Conservation
Invasive alien ants have reduced the populations of native species and even caused species extinction through direct predation, competition for resources and disruption of ecological relationships, posing a significant threat to global biodiversity ...

Geostatistical Approach to Find ‘Hotspots’ Where Biodiversity is at Risk in a Transition Country

Present Environment and Sustainable Development, 2014
Global change‟ is a relatively recent concept, related to the energy - land use - climate change nexus, and designated to include all changes produced by the human species and the consequences of its activities over natural ecological complexes and ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Time Driven Activity‐Based Costing and Social Life Cycle Assessment: An Integrated Framework for Social Sustainability Accounting

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating sustainability not only into corporate strategy and product design is essential to address pressing global challenges. This study proposes a framework that integrates social life cycle assessment (S‐LCA) into time‐driven activity‐based costing (TD‐ABC) to manage both social and economic issues by assessing social impacts across ...

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Limiting future warming reduces drought exposure for terrestrial vertebrates

Nature Communications
Ambitious conservation efforts are needed to curb biodiversity loss as drought severity intensifies globally. Here, we assess the exposure of resident terrestrial vertebrates within global biodiversity hotspots to drought severity surpassing the extremes

Dietary partitioning mediates species coexistence in the high seas area of northwest Pacific

Ecography, EarlyView.
Niche partitioning, manifesting along various axes of the ecological niche, is a fundamental mechanism mediating species coexistence in a system. However, the emergence of many species in marine ecosystems would face considerable constraints in achieving coexistence through spatiotemporal differentiation mechanisms under the framework of niche ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Climate-induced fire regimes in the Russian biodiversity hotspots

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Recent fire management policy in Russia assumes the complete exclusion of fires from the statutory reserves. We analyzed what the natural, climate-induced fire regimes for the historical years 1901–1998 in Russia, in the Russian biodiversity hotspots and
