Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...

Anticipating Climate Change Along the Land–Sea Continuum: Why Policy and Organisational Dynamics Matter

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How the organisational dimension of public policy influences climate change anticipation is a critical, yet underexplored, question. This is especially so at the local scale where many climate‐related interests are brokered. In this article, we argue that any analysis of the influence of de‐centralised organisations on climate change ...

Agglomeration Index Towards a New Measure of Urban Concentration [PDF]

open access: yes
A common challenge in analyzing urbanization is the data. The United Nations (UN) compiles information on urbanization (urban population and its share of total national population) that is reported by various countries but there is no standardized ...

Unravelling the Policy‐to‐Implementation Gap: Climate Adaptation Governance Arrangements in Medium‐Sized Cities

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban areas are increasingly facing climate‐related risks that outpace the implementation of adaptation measures, often attributed to a persistent policy‐to‐implementation gap. Bridging this gap requires a deeper understanding of the underlying governance dynamics.

Exploring the Spatial Dynamics of a Just Regional Energy Transition: What If We Ask Citizens?

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The installation of wind turbines and solar parks in valued rural landscapes has led to local concerns and perceived injustices to the extent that the societal acceptance of the energy transition is at stake. Although the literature on energy justice is blooming, research into citizens' understandings of justice with regards to regional energy
