The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Reconstructing Global Chlorophyll-a Concentration for the COCTS Aboard Chinese Ocean Color Satellites via the DINEOF Method

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration, a critical parameter for characterizing marine primary productivity and ecological health, plays a vital role in providing ecological environment monitoring and climate change assessment while serving as a core ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Fe Atoms Accelerator Coupled With Oxygen Vacancies Channel Synergistically Boost OER Performance of Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov Nanosheets

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov/NF demonstrates significantly improved OER catalytic performance compared to CoMoO4. Specifically, the introduced Fe atoms act as a promoter for surface reconstruction, significantly reducing the energy required for surface reconstruction to generate FeCoOOH. The oxygen vacancies serve as electron channels between the core Fe‐CoMoO4‐Ov and
