Many populations of birds depend on networks sites to survive. Sufficient connectivity that allows movement between the throughout year is a critical requirement. We found existing international frameworks and policies for identifying important bird conservation focus more at level individual site than network its connectivity. Only 21% criteria acknowledge importance birds, such were mostly (67%) qualitative. suggest three-step quantitative approach informing about movements (especially when migrating) from perspective, by reviewing current scientific knowledge. The first step construct frequently used as ‘nodes’, then define ‘edges’ probability non-stop flight each pair nodes. second quantify connectivity, i.e., extent which facilitates movements. last assess contribution This can serve tool comprehensive dynamic monitoring robustness during global change.

Global climate change poses significant threats to ecosystems worldwide, particularly impacting long-lived forest tree species such as Pinus nigra. This study assessed the potential shifts in distribution areas for nigra, an important species, one highly vulnerable global change, given its prevalence continental climates, Türkiye under different scenarios (SSPs 585 and 245). In this study, suitable regions of nigra were evaluated based on SSPs 245 using nine models. Results indicated losses ranging from 15.0% 43.5% 245) 19.7% 48.9% 585) by 2100.
