Current breeding distributions and predicted range shifts under climate change in two subspecies of Black-tailed Godwits in Asia. [PDF]
Due to climate change, the breeding range of the two Asian subspecies of Black‐tailed Godwit would shift northward in the future, accompanied by a significant decline in suitable breeding range size. Abstract Habitat loss and shifts associated with climate change threaten global biodiversity, with impacts likely to be most pronounced at high latitudes.

Effects of snake fungal disease (ophidiomycosis) on the skin microbiome across two major experimental scales. [PDF]
Abstract Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as a significant threat to global biodiversity conservation. Elucidating the relationship between pathogens and the host microbiome could lead to novel approaches for mitigating disease impacts.

Livestock disturbances decreased the area of suitable habitat of forest pheasants by 14.28% in 7 years. Livestock activities remarkably increased the nest failure rate (by 2.18 times) of forest pheasants. Abstract The degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, driven largely by anthropogenic activities such as grazing, represent growing ...

Abstract Understanding how habitat fragmentation affects individual species is complicated by challenges associated with quantifying species‐specific habitat and spatial variability in fragmentation effects within a species’ range. We aggregated a 29‐year breeding survey data set for the endangered marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) from >42 ...

Benefits derived from leisure and recreational, and wildlife cultural ecosystem services (CES) were predominantly safeguarded by nature reserves. In contrast, folk and custom CES and spiritual and religious CES were less reliant on these reserves due to intrinsic community‐based protection. Abstract Cultural ecosystem services (CES) play a pivotal role

We used three robust modeling approaches and the largest empirical dataset yet collected for Sunda pangolin to investigate their habitat associations and the likelihood of spatially and temporally overlapping with humans. We found the species has an inconsistent response to disturbances across multiple scales, expected to be driven by Singapore's ...

Abstract Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from modern‐day data alone. However, inferring past ecological states is limited by the availability of robust data and biases in historical archives, posing a ...

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...
