Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Seizures in children with Dravet syndrome in extreme heat: A qualitative study of parental perspectives

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Perspectives of parents of children with Dravet syndrome indicate that extreme heat and high temperatures exacerbate epileptic seizures, introduce new seizure triggers, and require the adoption of specific seizure‑management strategies. Abstract Aim To describe parental perspectives on how heatwaves and high ambient temperatures influence seizure ...
