How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Historical data reveal earlier flowering under environmental change
Global temperatures have risen ~ 1.1°C since the 1800s and the mean annual air temperature in the Arctic has increased by nearly four times the global average. Temperature has a significant effect on fundamental life‐cycle events of flora and fauna. With temperatures increasing, Arctic plants are expected to shift their active periods accordingly, with

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

Baffin Bay Freshwater Content Seasonal Variability and Budget: A Modeling Approach
Abstract Baffin Bay plays a significant role as an exporter of freshwater from the Arctic to the North Atlantic. However, we still do not completely understand how this freshwater is stored and transformed within the bay before it exits. Here, we use a six‐member ensemble built using the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO)—at 1/4 ...

Abstract Drought is one of the most severe and complex natural hazards causing changes in water balance and impeding crucial water‐dependent ecosystem services. Over the last 25 years, multiple severe droughts linked to El Niño events have affected the Zambian and Zimbabwean regions.

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...
