Abstract Fisheries constitute one of the major benefits that oceans provide for people. Yet anthropogenic pressures and global changes are disrupting coastal systems, eroding marine biodiversity and threatening the food security of traditional populations.

Abstract Afromontane ecosystems, characterised by mosaics of fire‐adapted grassy ecosystems and fire‐sensitive forests, are biodiversity hotspots facing escalating pressures from non‐native species, climate and land‐use change. Madagascar's Central Highlands is one such hotspot, hosting woodlands dominated by endemic Uapaca bojeri (tapia) which are ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders.

Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...
