Spatial and temporal analysis of vegetation dynamics on desertification hotspots of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) have a distinctive seasonality. The Brazilian Caatinga, the largest SDTF in South America, faces three main types of disturbance: abrupt change, chronic disturbance, and species invasion. Furthermore, droughts and rainfall seasonality have made Caatinga at risk of desertification.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Does Accounting Scope 3 Emissions Improve Sustainable Business Outcomes? Evidence From the S&P 500 Technology Companies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corporate sustainability efforts increasingly emphasize Scope 3 emissions due to their substantial share of total corporate carbon footprints. However, reporting these emissions remains inconsistent, limiting transparency and comparability across firms.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.
