Demographic perspectives in research on global environmental change [PDF]
Population studies, 2021 The human population is at the centre of research on global environmental change. On the one hand, population dynamics influence the environment and the global climate system through consumption-based carbon emissions.

Investigating the eco-evolutionary response of microbiomes to environmental change.
Ecology Letters, 2023 Microorganisms are the primary engines of biogeochemical processes and foundational to the provisioning of ecosystem services to human society. Free-living microbial communities (microbiomes) and their functioning are now known to be highly sensitive to ...

Environmental change and the rate of phenotypic plasticity
Global Change Biology, 2022 With rapid and less predictable environmental change emerging as the ‘new norm’, understanding how individuals tolerate environmental stress via plastic, often reversible changes to the phenotype (i.e., reversible phenotypic plasticity, RPP), remains a ...

Biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning despite environmental change
Ecology Letters, 2021 Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning will persist under various types of global environmental ...

Anticipated effects of abiotic environmental change on intraspecific social interactions
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2021 Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease spread, information transmission, and density‐dependent reproduction and ...

Ecological Grief as a Response to Environmental Change: A Mental Health Risk or Functional Response?
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The perception of the impact of climate change on the environment is becoming a lived experience for more and more people. Several new terms for climate change-induced distress have been introduced to describe the long-term emotional consequences of ...

Climate change as a driver of food insecurity in the 2007 Lesotho-South Africa drought
Scientific Reports, 2021 Climate-induced food production shocks, like droughts, can cause food shortages and price spikes, leading to food insecurity. In 2007, a synchronous crop failure in Lesotho and South Africa—Lesotho’s sole trading partner—led to a period of severe food ...

Slow and population specific evolutionary response to a warming environment
Scientific Reports, 2023 Adaptation to increasingly warmer environments may be critical to avoid extinction. Whether and how these adaptive responses can arise is under debate. Though several studies have tackled evolutionary responses under different thermal selective regimes ...

Bioessays, 2020 Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the microbiome may constitute a fast‐response mechanism to environmental change is ...

Zoonosis emergence linked to agricultural intensification and environmental change [PDF]
, 2013 A systematic review was conducted by a multidisciplinary team to analyze qualitatively best available scientific evidence on the effect of agricultural intensification and environmental changes on the risk of zoonoses for which there are epidemiological ...
