ABSTRACT Humans have caused pervasive wildlife habitat loss by transforming most of the Earth's terrestrial surface, while unexpectedly limited species consequently gone extinct. The concept time‐lagged extinction (i.e., an debt) potentially explains this paradox, but starting time process is difficult to estimate. Herein, projecting risk backward onto human perturbation series, we applied a statistical framework examine debt for 8435 avian species. results suggested that modern induced anthropogenic land modification began 150 years ago, aligning with acceleration activities since Second Industrial Revolution. Intriguingly, found reversal effects on over mid‐20th century, perhaps driven spatiotemporal contrasts in perturbations between developed and developing areas. These findings indicate need proactive conservation highlight role ecosystem restoration potential repayment debt.

Abstract Aim Human pressure in the oceans is pervasive and affects marine life. Understanding species' differing responses to human pressure, how compares other environmental variables shaping communities needed facilitate sustainable management of seas. Despite theory empirical evidence that fishing life‐history strategies, several recent large‐scale studies have not shown strong relationships between community composition. We aim reconcile with data explain these variable findings, testing hypothesis signal effect on depends scale at which defined. Location North East Atlantic. Time Period 2009 2021.

Using frequentist Generalized Linear Mixed Models, we assess whether mean weighted correlate sea surface temperature depth strength are dependant.

ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges to the health and functions of forest ecosystems. Ecological niche models have emerged as crucial tools for understanding impact climate on forests at population, species, ecosystem levels. These also play a pivotal role in developing adaptive conservation management strategies. Recent advancements model development led enhanced prediction accuracy broadened applications models, driven using high‐quality data, improved algorithms, application landscape genomic information. In this review, we start by elucidating concept rationale behind context forestry adaptation change. We then provide an overview occurrence‐based, trait‐based, genomics‐based contributing more comprehensive species responses addition, summarize findings from 338 studies highlight progress made tree including data sources, future scenarios used diverse applications. To assist researchers practitioners, exemplar set accompanying source code tutorial, demonstrating integration population genetics into models. This paper aims concise yet continuous refinements serving valuable resource effectively addressing posed changing climate.

ABSTRACT Predicting how changes in climate and land use jointly impact populations is a pressing task ecology. Microclimate plays key role species' local persistence by modulating regional weather effects. However, empirical evidence remains limited regarding the relative effects of landscape structure microclimate conditions on intraspecific trait variation. Using spatially temporally replicated demographic dataset, we tested (area connectivity remnant habitat fragments), (heat load), annual (study year) variation plant traits. We also investigated whether heat load modulated traits studied. performed repeated measurements stem height, leaf area, number stems, main inflorescence length, primary side inflorescences 569 permanently marked individuals grassland specialist Salvia nemorosa L. sampled 13 encompassing microhabitats exposed to different levels over three consecutive years. Mature had fewer stems isolated taller small fragments. High dry years affected negatively all measured traits, negative exposure high were generally exacerbated Our results suggest that strong environmental stressors may complicate detection real effect human populations. Effective planning for conservation species should prioritize not only improved but maintenance habitats with heterogeneous microclimates capable buffering extremes.

Summary Numerous plant species are expanding their native ranges due to anthropogenic environmental change. Because cytotypes of polyploid complexes often show similar morphologies, there may be unnoticed range expansions (i.e. cryptic invasions) one cytotype into regions where only the other is native. We critically revised herbarium specimens diploid and tetraploid Centaurea stoebe , collected across Europe between 1790 2023. Based on distribution in natural relict habitats phylogeographic data, we estimated both cytotypes. Diploids entire European range, whereas tetraploids South‐Eastern have recently expanded toward Central Europe. The proportion has exponentially increased over time but not range. This invasion predominantly occurred ruderal enlarged climatic niche a more oceanic climate. conclude that spatio‐temporally explicit assessments shifts, habitat preferences evolution can improve our understanding invasions. also emphasize value for accurate estimation species´ ranges, with fundamental implications design research studies assessment biodiversity trends.
