Quantifying exposure of amphibian species to heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Globally, amphibians face severe threats, such as climate change and associated extreme events. Our goal was to quantify global amphibian exposure to 3 classes of extreme events: heat waves, cold spells, and droughts. We used the MERRA‐2 extreme climate events data and the standardized precipitation–evapotranspiration index database to ...

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While abundance and richness recovered within 2 years, species composition continued to shift, indicating ongoing reassembly with a directional trajectory toward ...

Tropical butterflies use thermal buffering and thermal tolerance as alternative strategies to cope with temperature increase. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol, 2023
Tropical butterflies with a stronger ability to thermoregulate have lower thermal tolerance, and vice versa. This implies that species adapt to climate change using one strategy at the expense of the other, and many tropical butterflies may be at risk.

Complex and Dynamic Effects of an Extreme Low Temperature Weather Event on Invasive Plant Populations and Resident Communities. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Invasive plant species might benefit more from climate change, though evidence for that is not clear. Here, we show that the effects of a low‐temperature extreme weather event can result in a dramatic reduction in both vegetative and reproductive growth of invasive populations of Gunnera tinctoria (giant rhubarb) in the west of Ireland.

Urban Tree Growth and Drought Responses Show Evidence of Climate Resilience. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Urban trees face increasing risks from climate change, including drought and heatwaves, which threaten their growth and survival. By studying 10 tree species across seven Australian cities, we found that local climate strongly influences tree growth, and that some species are well adapted to urban climates.

Effects of an Extreme Weather Event on Primate Populations. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives With contemporary, human‐induced climate change at a crisis point, extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones, heatwaves, floods) are becoming more frequent, intense, and difficult to predict. These events can wreak rapid and significant changes on ecosystems; thus, it is imperative to understand how wildlife communities respond to ...
