Towards an integrated approach to evaluating biodiversity‐ and water‐sensitive urban design: A review of popular software tools

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Globally, cities are recognising a need to design for biodiversity and water together—though current approaches typically design for them independently. Our review of 39 Water and Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design (BSUD & WSUD) software‐based tools identified obstacles to collaboration associated with integration and interoperability.

Genomic Vulnerability of a Threatened Possum in a Biodiversity and Climate Change Hotspot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial variation in the magnitude and pace of climate change impacts means some species will be more affected than others. This includes those occurring within global biodiversity hotspots, regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic species that have often been shaped by long‐term climatic stability.
