What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are
