The projected risk of plant invasions on the peri‐Antarctic islands under climate change
The peri‐Antarctic islands have largely been shielded from alien plant species due to low human pressure, limited introduction pathways, and local harsh climates. However, climate change is expected to lower these barriers. We assess the vulnerability of 12 peri‐Antarctic islands to invasion by 2220 plant species invasive in at least one region of the ...

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome
Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Climatic rainfall regime shapes energy flow, trophic structure, and secondary production in streams
Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns linked to climate change have profound implications for the structuring and functioning of riverine ecosystems. This study investigates how rainfall influences secondary production by examining nine rivers across a sharp natural rainfall gradient over 3 years.

DEM resolution alters not only mean modelled soil loss but also its spatial redistribution at hectare scale. Using a spatially distributed erosion model, we show that changes in cell size modify slope, flow‐path length and run‐off concentration, producing non‐linear changes in erosion and deposition patterns.
