Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract The area of primary boreal forest continues to decline due to anthropogenic disturbance, often targeting forests that provide the highest economic returns. This selective use of forests raises the question of whether the remaining primary forests occur within a subset of the environmental conditions present in their region of occurrence.

Developing and Validating Species Distribution Models for Wetland Plants Across Europe
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.We fitted species distribution models (SDMs) for 265 wetland plant species in Europe. We validated predicted occurrences using independent data. The SDMs showed a high predictive performance, such that our SDMs can be used to predict broad‐scale distributions of wetland plants.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Premise The ecological conditions that constrain plants to an environmental niche are assumed to be constant through time. While the fossil record has been used previously to test for niche conservatism of woody flowering plants, additional studies are needed in other plant groups especially since they can provide insight with paleoclimatic ...

How ignoring detection probability hurts biodiversity conservation
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 22, Issue 8, October 2024.Conservation priorities and legal protections are often based on confirmed species occurrences. However, imperfect detection is likely the norm in biological surveys, resulting in negative consequences for conservation. Focusing on threatened species in the US and Canada, we show that detectability information appears to be lacking for most species ...

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 335-339, September 2024.This piece explores the effects of the war in Ukraine on Colombia's coal industry and the contrasting affective responses of different actors. The stark contrast between environmental and Indigenous activists' anger and the industry representatives' optimism about the revival of coal exports evidences the tension between the climate policies of the ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2024.We discuss how recent policy changes to global trade routes, agriculture, and energy production in response to the escalation of the war in Ukraine are impacting socioeconomic scenarios used to set and assess global biodiversity targets. We call for the re‐evaluation of existing biodiversity targets with newly developed scenarios that reflect the ...

Habitat suitability of biocrust communities in a cold desert ecosystem
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Biocrusts are dominant primary producer communities inhabiting the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. We found that gravimetric water content, electrical conductivity, and snow frequency are the top predictors of biocrust presence and biomass. We predict that biocrusts are present in 2.7 × 105 m2 and contain 11–72 Mg of aboveground carbon in the Lake ...

A Bioinspired and Cost‐Effective Device for Minimally Invasive Blood Sampling
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 18, May 15, 2024.Bioinspired and cost‐effective device for capillary blood extraction. The device is composed of a storage compartment for liquid blood collection and a minimally invasive microneedle patch hidden within a suction cup. After collection, blood can be safely sent to laboratories for analyses or combined with commercially available point‐of‐care systems ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 4, April 2024.Abstract Premise Spectroscopy is a powerful remote sensing tool for monitoring plant biodiversity over broad geographic areas. Increasing evidence suggests that foliar spectral reflectance can be used to identify trees at the species level. However, most studies have focused on only a limited number of species at a time, and few studies have explored ...
