ABSTRACT Global changes are severely affecting pollinator insect communities worldwide, resulting in repeated patterns of species extirpations and extinctions. Whilst negative population trends within this functional group have understandably received much attention recent decades, another facet global has been overshadowed: undergoing expansion. Here, we review the factors traits that allowed a fraction pollinating entomofauna to take advantage environmental change. Sufficient mobility, high resistance acute heat stress, inherent adaptation warmer climates appear be key allow pollinators persist even expand face climate An overall flexibility dietary nesting requirements is common expanding species, although niche specialization can also drive expansion under specific contexts. The numerous consequences wild domesticated expansions, including competition for resources, pathogen spread, hybridization with native wildlife, discussed. Overall, show involved success stories mostly context dependent, rendering generalizations ‘winning traits’ complicated. This work illustrates increasing need consider its as significant facets encourages efforts monitor impacts pollinators, particularly exotic on natural ecosystems.

Summary Nitrogen (N) enrichment poses threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability, while arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play important roles in stability functioning. However, the ecological impacts, especially thresholds of N potentially causing AM fungal community shifts have not been adequately characterized. Based on a long‐term field experiment with nine addition levels ranging from 0 50 g m −2 yr −1 temperate grassland, we characterized response patterns enrichment. Arbuscular biomass continuously decreased increasing levels. diversity did significantly change below 20 , but dramatically at higher levels, which drove unstable state. Structural equation modeling showed that decline could be well explained by soil acidification, whereas key driving factors for shifted nitrogen : phosphorus (N P) ratio pH Different aspects communities (biomass, composition) respond differently Thresholds substantial this grassland are identified.

Plant communities experience impacts of increasing numbers global change factors (e.g., warming, eutrophication, pollution). Consequently, unpredictable effects could arise. However, information about multi-factor on plant is scarce. To test plant-community responses to multiple (GCFs), we subjected sown and transplanted-seedling (0, 1, 2, 4, 6) co-acting GCFs, assessed individual GCFs community composition productivity. GCF number reduced species diversity evenness both types, whereas none the alone affected these measures. In contrast, positively productivity community. Our findings show that simultaneously acting can affect in ways differing from those expected single factor effects, which may be due biological sampling or both. exploring multifactorial nature crucial better understand ecological change.

Monitoring biodiversity and how anthropogenic pressures impact this is critical, especially as anthropogenically driven climate change continues to affect all ecosystems. Intertidal areas are exposed particularly high levels of owing increased population density in coastal areas. Traditional methods monitoring intertidal do not provide datasets with full coverage a cost-effective or timely manner, so the use remote sensing monitor these becoming more common. ecologically important monospecific habitats, such seagrass beds, using techniques well documented. However, ability for multispectral data distinguish efficiently accurately between classes vegetation similar pigment composition, green algae, has proved difficult, often requiring hyperspectral data. A machine learning approach was used differentiate soft-bottom when at low tide, comparing 6 different multi- situ sensors. For library 366 spectra, collected across Northern Europe, accuracy (>80%) found spectral resolutions. While higher resolution resulted accuracy, there no discernible increase above 10 bands (95%: Sentinel-2 MSI sensor spatial 20 m). This work highlights sensors discriminate types, while also showing most wavelengths discrimination (∼530 ∼ 730 nm), giving recommendations ranges future satellite missions.
