Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

Global habitat suitability and invasion risk of melon thrips

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Habitat suitability of Thrips palmi worldwide was predicted using the MaxEnt model. Precipitation of the driest month, precipitation of the wettest month and annual mean temperature were identified as the key climatic drivers influencing its distribution.

Temporal and Spatial Evolution and Driving Force Analysis of Water Conservation Function in Yunnan Province Based on Climate and Land Use Change

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] Exploring the water-holding function is an important way to cope with future climate change. Existing research mainly focuses on the assessment of historical and current water-holding function, and lacks the understanding of the future water ...

Predicting global habitat suitability and invasion risks of the red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei under current and future climates

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ecological niche modelling identified highly suitable habitats for Glycaspis brimblecombei across tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Future climate projections indicate a moderate contraction of suitable areas, with persistence of core climatic suitability. Model performance was robust (AUC = 0.880; TSS = 0.634; CBI = 0.803), with temperature

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

Generation Rather Than Sex Shapes Wing Morphology in Cydalima perspectalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae): Insights From Geometric Morphometrics and Climate‐Based Projections

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

Climate Vulnerability of Australian Seafood Systems: A National Assessment of Exposure and Adaptive Capacity

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change. These changes are already impacting marine ecosystems and seafood production, which are vital for supporting food security and economic productivity.

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.
