Understanding the patterns and drivers of different facets biodiversity is crucial for conservation under global environmental change. In this study, we present first assessment taxonomic, functional phylogenetic diversity 171 mammals in giant panda range their associations with climate, land use factors topographic heterogeneity. We found that showed a very pattern species richness diversity. Additionally, mammal assemblages were more functionally diverse but phylogenetically similar than expected by chance few regions after controlling richness. Furthermore, was positively correlated heterogeneity, proportion forest, mean annual temperature anomaly negatively precipitation between current historical periods, while both are predominantly climate factors. Specifically, higher mainly lower cropland, precipitation, periods. These results indicate large mismatches driving taxonomic other importance contemporary conditions periods determining range. Overall, our findings highlight integrating multiple dimensions to infer underlying processes spatial better inform management planning.

ABSTRACT We aim to test hypotheses on the patterns of clade age climbing plants under climatic variations along latitudinal gradients in China. Specifically, we uncover their general mean family (MFA) and drivers. evaluate extents which both tropical niche conservatism hypothesis (TNC) out tropics (OTT) can account for MFA plants, respectively. A dataset including 2487 species was used quantify geographical across Spatial regression analyses with information‐theoretical multi‐model selections were performed estimate importance variables. There generally increasing trends from low high latitudes all types climbers. For woody climbers, negatively correlated minimum temperature annual precipitation but positively seasonal precipitation, mostly influenced by coldest quarter. herbaceous vines, pattern showed relatively insignificant correlations Our results highlight that OTT offers a promising explanation climbers China (especially climbers), turn be contrary TNC predictions.

ABSTRACT Globalization has dramatically accelerated the spread of non‐native species, intensifying threats to freshwater ecosystems. While China ranks among most heavily invaded countries, role species as key drivers biodiversity changes is often overlooked in research on anthropogenic impacts. This oversight hampers development effective conservation and management strategies by limiting a full understanding what shapes patterns. To bridge this gap, an extensive dataset from 131 lakes across was compiled analyzed using novel composite diversity index that integrates richness with functional phylogenetic uniqueness, allowing for more precise identification fish multidimensional hotspots. Additionally, gradient forest models were employed elucidate impacts geography, climate, physicochemical factors these Our findings revealed significant taxonomic homogenization hotspots within overall community, coupled diversification. Notably, emerged primary factor shaping native establishment may provide immediate enhancement diversity, it leads extirpation/extinction ultimately resulting loss at local potentially regional scale. study highlights importance examining multiple dimensions characterize intricate dynamics between which essential their true impact achieving global goals.

Summary Recently, Gross et al. (Nature 632, 808-814) found that plant phenotypic diversity dramatically increases with aridity globally, challenging conventional environmental filtering theories. However, some methodological choices by might overestimate the effect of on diversity: (i) We detected a skewed distribution sampling sites towards arid end analyzed gradient; (ii) posited fine-tuning statistical parameters further challenge their estimates. reanalyzed data accounting for these effects and substantially reduced change increasing aridity. surely represents cornerstone future research trait in drier world, but interpretations need to be considered alongside our findings. Importantly, points raised reanalysis provide general guidelines changes along gradients.
