The rise and resurgence of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in Europe pose an expanding public health challenge, exacerbated by climate change, globalization, ecological disruptions. Both arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) transmitted ticks such as Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever arboviruses mosquitoes like dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, Japanese encephalitis have broadened their distribution due to rising temperatures, changes rainfall, increased human mobility. By emphasizing the importance interconnected human, animal, environmental health, integrated One Health strategies are crucial addressing this complex issue. faces risk habitats disease-carrying organisms, spread new species Aedes albopictus since 2013, movement infected individuals between countries, leading European countries implement enhanced surveillance systems, awareness campaigns, prompt outbreak response strategies.

Conceptual and ethical considerations in invasion science

BioScience, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 21, 2025

Abstract Invasion science addresses interconnected ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by the introduction of nonnative species. Therefore, invasion scientists have to consider reconcile interdisciplinary needs while addressing potential implications their findings. Navigating diverse disciplines, including environmental sciences, ecology, economics, humanities, seek arrive at informed decisions on risk, impact, management. Individual biases, uncertainties, systemic pressures influence ability maintain objectivity resist that might otherwise distort findings or applications. In present commentary, we examine conceptual ethical dilemmas within field science, particularly reputational risks discipline perpetuating its own relevance framing invasions as insurmountable challenges. discussion, highlight how incentive structures, biased assessments framing, conflicts interest may compromise discipline's integrity.

Still little evidence of poleward range shifts in the tropics, but lowland biotic attrition may be underway

Biotropica, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 57(1)

Published: July 2, 2024

Abstract Sixteen years ago, Colwell et al. (2008: Global warming, elevational range shifts, and lowland biotic attrition in the wet tropics. Science , 322, 258) affirmed predictions that climate change rising global temperatures would lead to widespread upslope shifts of tropical species but predicted poleward be unlikely within terrestrial tropics, because shallow latitudinal temperature gradient. They also “biotic attrition” (a net loss species) equatorial lowlands, where no warmer regions exist as a source more‐thermophilic replace shifting upslope. Based on three recently published literature reviews covering more than 450 studies thousands worldwide, we document 20 cases find unambiguous examples shift for any fully species. In contrast, outside majority documented are latitudinal. We summarize state knowledge about climate‐driven tropics highlight potential cause extensive declines alpha diversity.

A major facet of the Anthropocene is global change, such as climate caused by human activities, which drastically affect biodiversity with all-scale declines and homogenization biotas.

Multi-decade northward shift of loggerhead sea turtle pelagic habitat as the eastern North Pacific Transition Zone becomes more oligotrophic

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: Jan. 22, 2025

The North Pacific Transition Zone (NPTZ) is known as a global marine hotspot for many endangered and commercially significant highly mobile species. In the last few decades, region has undergone unprecedented physical biological transformations in response to climate variability change. Although it anticipated that species will need adapt shift their distributions, current predictions have relied on short-term data sets or modeled simulations. This left critical gap our understanding of long-term (decadal longer) change species’ responses within NPTZ. Here, we integrate nearly 3 decades satellite tracking from sentinel, juvenile loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ), with concurrent observations surface temperature (SST) chlorophyll-a concentrations examine higher trophic level climate-induced changes eastern bounds Between 1997–2024, NPTZ warmed by 1.6°C experienced an approximately 19% decline mean concentration, proxy reduced productivity, resulting 28% (1.65 million km 2 ) increase total oligotrophic habitat Over same period, average latitude foraging shifted northwards 450–600 km. represents distributional rate 116–200km/decade. most years both southern northern range limits northward tandem, indicating rather than expansion. Our findings reveal over quarter century first empirical evidence illustrating substantial spatial megafaunal As continues become more oligotrophic, these insights can provide vital information dynamic conservation management strategies this critically important ecosystem.
