Habitat fragmentation due to infrastructure
, 2003 Habitat fragmentation, the splitting of natural habitats and ecosystems into smaller and more isolated patches, is recognised as one of the most important global threats to the conservation of biological diversity. Habitat fragmentation is mainly a result of changes in land use, but a major impact also results from the barrier effect caused by the ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

The macroecology of immunity: predominant influence of climate on invertebrate immune response
Ecography, EarlyView.The immune system is the primary defense against parasites. With the ever‐increasing rate of disease, epidemiologic models considering geographic variation in immune responses could prove useful. Despite increasing interest in the macroecology of parasitism and infectious diseases, we know little about the macroecology of immune responses (i.e ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends
Ecography, EarlyView.Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Biodiversity modelling is essential for explaining and predicting ecological responses to environmental change and assessing progress towards targets in the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (CBD 2022). The UK benefits from rich biodiversity time‐series data and numerous open‐source environmental datasets.
