Biodiversity loss and widespread ecosystem degradation are among the most pressing challenges of our time, requiring urgent action. Yet understanding their causes remains limited because prevailing ecological concepts approaches often overlook underlying complex interactions individuals same or different species, interacting with each other environment. We propose a paradigm shift in science, moving from simplifying frameworks that use population community averages to an integrative approach recognizes individual organisms as fundamental agents change. The urgency biodiversity crisis requires such advance ecology towards predictive science by elucidating causal mechanisms linking variation adaptive behaviour emergent properties populations, communities, ecosystems, human interventions. Recent advances computational technologies, sensors, analytical tools now offer unprecedented opportunities overcome past lay foundation for truly integrated Individual-Based Global Change Ecology (IBGCE). Unravelling potential role variability global change impact analyses will require systematic combination empirical, experimental modelling studies across systems, while taking into account multiple drivers interactions. Key priorities include refining theoretical frameworks, developing benchmark models standardized toolsets, systematically incorporating empirical field work, experiments models. emerging synergies between individual-based modelling, big data approaches, machine learning hold great promise addressing inherent complexity ecosystems. Each step development IBGCE must balance perspective parsimony, efficiency, feasibility. aims unravel predict dynamics Anthropocene through comprehensive study organisms, It provide critical considering future conservation sustainability management, individual-to-ecosystem pathways feedbacks.
