iScienceSummary: Only a small number of avian species inhabit salty environments. To understand how they adapted, we examined the evolution of kidney sizes, supraorbital salt glands (SSGs), and the utilization of salty habitats across 230 species spanning 25 ...

Natural Heritage in the Republic of Kosovo: Looking for Potential UNESCO Sites
Landscape Online, 2018 In addition to cultural heritage values, Kosovo is characterised by natural heritage values; these values identify different areas in Kosovo as potential sites for protection under UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) program and the Convention Concerning ...

Spatio‐temporal dynamics of ringed seal density and habitat use in the Arctic's Last Ice Area
Ecography, EarlyView.The Arctic is warming at approximately four times the global rate, driving widespread decline in sea ice extent, thickness, and seasonal duration. The ecological consequences of these rapid changes remain poorly understood within the Last Ice Area, a region that includes northern Ellesmere Island and the northwest of Greenland, projected to retain ...

From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases
Ecography, EarlyView.Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

Predicting connectivity from movement trajectories and step selection
Ecography, EarlyView.Predicting and mapping connectivity are essential for ecology and conservation in the face of environmental change. Yet connectivity modeling is challenging because it requires understanding how organisms successfully move across complex landscapes.

Ecography, EarlyView.Species with small ranges tend to occur with other range‐limited species in biodiversity hotspots, a pattern that has motivated both macroecological theory and practical conservation planning. However, not all range‐limited species follow this pattern.

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline
Ecography, EarlyView.The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.
