Shape‐shifting in relative wing length of juvenile shorebirds: no evidence of developmental temperatures driving morphological changes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Morphological changes concurrent with climate change are increasingly identified in birds, often through decreasing body size and increasing appendage size. Such changes could have thermoregulatory implications, through the improved surface area to body ratio they provide.

Combined effects of temperature change and natural habitat on the abundance of arthropod trait syndromes in agroecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Land‐use changes and climatic changes are two entwined stressors on ecosystems. Studies on such interactions often focus on species‐level or region‐specific responses, but fewer have examined differences in responses based on functional traits. Here we examine the influence of natural habitat cover and temperature change on the abundance of all ...

The diel niche of brown bears: constraints on adaptive capacity in human‐modified landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Diel activity rhythms, representing the behavioral pattern of the sleep–wake cycle, may be adjusted by wildlife in response to changes in environmental conditions. An increase in nocturnality is typically recognized as an adaptive strategy to segregate from humans and mitigate heat stress. Numerous studies have investigated spatial patterns and habitat

Data integration improves species distribution forecasts under novel ocean conditions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Accurate forecasts of species distributions in response to changing climate is essential for proactive management and conservation decision‐making. However, species distribution models (SDMs) often have limited capacity to produce robust forecasts under novel environmental conditions, partly due to limitations in model training data.
