ABSTRACT Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecological adaptation. We synthesize available information on the understudied Great Lakes pink salmon invasion and highlight how this case can inform

Global patterns of lake ice phenology and climate: Model simulations and observations [PDF]
Lake ice phenology parameters (dates of ice onset and thaw) provide an integrative climatic description of autumn to springtime conditions. Interannual variations in lake ice duration and thickness allow estimates of local climatic variability. In addition, long‐term changes in lake ice phenology may provide a robust indication of climatic change.

The impacts of biological invasions
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

Arctic Freshwater Ice and Its Climatic Role [PDF]
Freshwater ice dominates the Arctic terrestrial environment and significantly impacts bio-physical and socio-economic systems. Unlike other major cryospheric components that either blanket large expanses (e.g., snow, permafrost, sea ice) or

Climate Change Alters Elevational Distribution Patterns of Cormus domestica Habitat
This study utilizes species distribution models to project the habitat shifts of Cormus domestica in Italy, predicting a substantial range reduction of 32%–68% by 2100 driven primarily by rising annual mean temperatures. The results indicate a significant shift of suitable habitats toward higher elevations, creating a scenario where the necessary ...

Migratory birds face considerable temporal and energetic constraints during spring migration. To balance these demands and maximize breeding success, migratory birds may optimize spring migration by adopting a strategy that primarily favors either minimizing time or energy spent on migration.

Eutrophication and ice phenology influence methane storage in north temperate lakes
Abstract Among lakes, eutrophication is positively related to methane emissions, but various processes can alter the seasonal conversion of primary production into stored methane. We used a series of whole‐lake enrichment and shading experiments across three years with varying ice phenology to assess how eutrophication and ice cover affect within‐year ...

Vanishing river ice cover in the lower part of the Danube basin – signs of a changing climate [PDF]
Many of the world’s largest rivers in the extra tropics are covered with ice during the cold season, and in the Northern Hemisphere approximately 60% of the rivers experience significant seasonal effects of river ice.
