Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Future Redistribution of North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Risk in Two Contrasting CMIP6 Scenarios

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract We analyze North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone (TC) activity using the Columbia HAZard model to downscale 12 models from CMIP6 under the SSP1‐2.6 and SSP5‐8.5 scenarios—representing low and high radiative forcing, respectively. Despite greater warming under SSP5‐8.5, basin‐wide North Atlantic TC frequency is not consistently higher than under SSP1‐

The 2025–2026 Iberian Atmospheric Rivers Exhibited Moisture Transport Resembling the Early SSP5‐8.5 Climate Response

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) drive winter hydroclimate extremes over the Iberian Peninsula (IP). This study evaluates whether exceptional landfalling ARs (LARs) between October 2025 and February 2026 displayed characteristics expected under early high‐emission forcing.
