Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Deep refuges: the distribution of marine fish in warming subtropics

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In light of global climate change, identifying critical marine habitats and conserving them is essential. Marine conservation planning recommends designating cooler habitats as marine protected areas. The ‘deep‐reef refugia' hypothesis suggests that deeper, suitable habitats may allow species to undergo the evolutionary changes necessary to adapt to ...

Integrating UAV and USV for Elaboration of High-Resolution Coastal Elevation Models

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coastal erosion, exacerbated by climate change, poses a critical global threat to both the environment and human livelihoods. Acquiring accurate, high-resolution topo-bathymetric data is vital for understanding these dynamic environments, without ...

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Marine Protected Areas: Smart Investments in Ocean Health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Expanding ocean protection could return an increase in jobs, resources and services that far outweigh the costs, according to an analysis of new research commissioned by WWF on marine protected areas.

Depth‐structured sponge assemblages offer limited evidence for mesophotic refuge potential under the deep reef refuge hypothesis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have the potential to act as climate refugia for shallower benthic species impacted by environmental change. However, the extent to which mesophotic ecosystems might provide an ecological refuge, particularly for key functional groups like sponges, remains poorly known in temperate systems.
