DNA barcoding of more than one million insect specimens indicates that at least one third of California's insect biodiversity remains undiscovered

Ecography, EarlyView.
Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

Associations between mycorrhizal dominance and woody species diversity shift with stand development and climate across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal symbioses influence woody species diversity, but whether this association shifts with forest stand development remains underexplored. Using forest inventory data across subtropical and tropical forests in Taiwan, we found that woody species diversity was lower in ectomycorrhizal (EM)‐dominated than in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM)‐dominated ...

Taxon‐dependent multisite species turnover in fragmented habitats: comparing zeta diversity across birds, butterflies, and cursorial hunting spiders

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

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.

Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'

Distinct responses of species structural roles in multi‐trophic interactions to island area and isolation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat loss and fragmentation reshape ecological communities and alter species interactions. However, it remains largely unknown how the roles that species play within interaction networks vary across local communities and trophic contexts in fragmented landscapes. We addressed this question using a plant–aphid–ant system sampled across 18 land‐bridge

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.
