Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally there is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to balance energy production with the protection of vulnerable species and conservation of biodiversity. This is particularly critical for freshwater ecosystems, habitats, and species that may be impacted by hydropower development and operations needed to meet energy grid demands ...

Photic-zone euxinia had a major role in the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary mass extinction
Communications Earth & EnvironmentMarine anoxia is widely proposed as a kill mechanism for the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary mass extinction commonly linked to the end-Devonian Hangenberg Crisis (~359.3 Ma), but the exact connections between primary drivers, marine redox conditions ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Borealization of the Arctic Ocean in Response to Anomalous Advection From Sub-Arctic Seas
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 An important yet still not well documented aspect of recent changes in the Arctic Ocean is associated with the advection of anomalous sub-Arctic Atlantic- and Pacific-origin waters and biota into the polar basins, a process which we refer to as ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species will shift beyond current range edges into new habitats as they become macroclimatically ...
