Species Distribution Models Reveal the Resilience of Protected Areas for Conserving an Endemic Amazonian Canid

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the impacts of climate change on the distribution of the Amazon‐endemic canid Atelocynus microtis, highlighting projected habitat loss under future scenarios (SSP2–4.5 and SSP5–8.5). Despite substantial reductions in suitable habitat, a significant proportion remains within Protected Areas, emphasizing their critical

Effects of land surface temperatures on vegetation phenology along urban–rural local climate zone gradients [PDF]

Context: Urbanization and local urban climate have multiple impacts on vegetation phenology in urban and suburban areas. Understanding these effects and their interactions with the surface urban heating effect remains limited.

Spatial–temporal variations in vegetation phenology and their driving mechanisms in the coastal wetlands of the Liao River estuary

Ecological Indicators
Coastal wetland vegetation phenology is a key indicator of ecosystem responses to environmental change. However, quantifying the anthropogenic impact amidst climate variations remains a challenge.

Neonicotinoid seed treatments do not consistently reduce insect feeding damage nor increase yields in Maryland soy

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

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.

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Counteracting selective pressures: Museum collections show declining Aglais io wing size

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Using museum specimens, we found that forewing and hindwing length of Aglais io declined significantly between 1953 and 1984 across three north‐western German populations. The observed long‐term reduction in wing size in Aglais io is potentially linked to environmental change, with consistent patterns across all studied localities.

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.
