Spatially heterogenous range dynamics since the Last Glacial Maximum underpin the modern bimodal latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic foraminifera

Ecography, EarlyView.
The modern latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) of planktonic foraminifera is bimodal, with a distinct depression near the equator surrounded by mid‐latitude diversity peaks. This pattern emerged after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 19–23 ka), but it remains unclear how species' spatial dynamics contributed to its formation.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Assessing Policy‐Oriented Learning About Climate‐Related Forest Disturbances in Europe

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European forests provide multiple ecosystem services but are increasingly under pressure from climate‐related disturbances such as droughts, storms and insect calamities. Forest policy is an important driver for the adaptation of forest management practices to climate change.
