Accepting the loss of habitat specialists in a changing world [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021
Global warming is irrevocably changing coastal marine communities, resulting in community reorganizations that favour generalist fishes that are able to associate with degraded or novel habitats.

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Microalgae Hybrid Biosystem for Enhanced Oral Delivery of Rifaximin in Hepatic Encephalopathy Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The microalgae‐nanoparticle hybrid system with antibacterial activity can improve the oral delivery and therapeutic efficiency for hepatic encephalopathy treatment. Oral administration of the system can reduced systemic ammonia levels, enhanced intestinal barrier function, attenuated systemic and neuroinflammation, ameliorated cognitive impairments ...

Persistence of Seed Dispersal in Agroecosystems: Effects of Landscape Modification and Intensive Soil Management Practices in Avian Frugivores, Frugivory and Seed Deposition in Olive Croplands

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Farming impacts animal-mediated seed dispersal through mechanisms operating on at least two spatial scales. First, at the landscape scale, through habitat loss and land conversion to agriculture/livestock grazing, and second, at the farm scale, via a ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Why do some protected areas prevent habitat loss better? Intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping their individual effectiveness

Global Ecology and Conservation
Protected areas (PAs) are key instruments for reducing habitat loss. Yet, variability in their effectiveness at the individual level remains poorly understood, limiting our ability to assess their conservation impact.

Modeling the impact of climate change and wildfire on the Dusky Grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) in the American Southwest: implications for conservation

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Climate change is recognized as a threat to the Dusky Grouse (Dendragapus obscurus), in part because of changes in weather that might lead to more frequent and severe wildfire that can cause loss of habitat.

Estimating widespread beaver dam loss: Habitat decline and surface storage loss at a regional scale

Ecosphere, 2022
The loss of beaver populations has commonly been accompanied by the failure of beaver dams, leading to stream incision, water table lowering, and the eventual transition from a beaver meadow to a drier riparian corridor.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Habitat loss accelerates for the endangered woodland caribou in western Canada

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species‐at‐risk legislation, policies and plans typically focus on habitat conservation and restoration as ...
