Effective population size (Ne) is a useful parameter to evaluate the long‐term viability of populations. While obtaining enough field data from wild populations to estimate Ne directly is challenging, molecular techniques applied to non‐invasive samples provide an appealing alternative.

Community’s ecological traits reflect spatio-temporal variability of climate change impacts
Climate change is triggering shifts in species distribution eventually altering communities' biogeography. The composition of a community in terms of its species' ecological niche informs of a community's response to environmental conditions and impacts,

The recent failure of sardine catches off Galicia (NW Spain), an area where landings reached up to 100 thousand tonnes only a few years ago, may be explained by two possible hypotheses. The ";depletion"; hypothesis states that diminishing sardine catches

The capercaillie Tetrao urogallus formerly inhabited the forests of Lower Lusatia in eastern Germany but became regionally extirpated by the late 20th century following extensive habitat loss and fragmentation. In response, a reintroduction program was initiated in 2012 after approximately one decade of habitat restoration. Between 2012 and 2024, adult

Findings reported by Bycroft et al. [1] for the Iberian Peninsula, including ultra‐fine population structure in Galicia, East–West genetic differentiation, and North African ancestry associated with the ‘Reconquista’ period, may be influenced by technical artifacts and sampling limitations within the EPICOLON Phase I dataset.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Pathways of Introduction and Expansion Dynamics of Non‐Native Species in an Island Ecosystem
ABSTRACT Aim Biological invasions are a global challenge, largely driven by human‐mediated introductions beyond species' native ranges. Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable, as invasions have caused some of the most profound and detrimental impacts on native and endemic biota.
