Primary, ancient, or old‐growth? Navigating the dimensions of ecological continuity in forests
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Ecological continuity is one of the key conditions for biodiversity conservation. However, concepts used to describe ecological continuity in forests remain poorly defined. To clarify ecological continuity, we present a framework with two temporal dimensions (ancientness and old‐growthness) and one spatial dimension (contiguity).

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how
