We applied a multi‐scale, multi‐species framework to quantify how landscape structure and human infrastructure influence habitat use across a terrestrial mammal community within a biological corridor in the Colombian Amazon. Forest cover and spatial configuration influenced wildlife habitat use at spatial scales associated with species dispersal ...

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

Reducing whale–vessel strikes through multiobjective vessel traffic routing
Abstract Vessel strikes threaten many large whale species. Managers employ several mitigation measures to reduce vessel strike risk, including establishing or modifying vessel routing measures, such as shipping lanes. However, most studies utilized to inform the configuration of shipping lanes only consider a limited number of potential lanes, and in ...

Abstract Protected areas cannot halt biodiversity loss in isolation; integrating them with surrounding human‐dominated landscapes is critical. However, this integration is challenged by substantial landscape heterogeneity at protected area borders, making it difficult to determine cross‐border changes in ecosystem service provision.

Building evolutionary resilience as a framework for managing safe haven populations
Abstract Safe havens are widely used to mitigate the impacts of invasive predators on threatened species, yet their isolation often disrupts evolutionary processes and can leave these species vulnerable to environmental change and stochastic events.

ABSTRACT Public communication campaigns on environmental issues rely on economic and ecological arguments, assuming that the recognition of messages is sufficient to produce adjustments in practices. Drought constitutes a specific case of this problem, as a creeping crisis: a slow‐onset hazard whose effects remain weakly visible in everyday life.

ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

Precipitation shapes colour polymorphism in a widespread spider
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Colour polymorphism, the presence of multiple colour variants within a population, is a common example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and has served as a model for studying drivers of diversity.

Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.
