The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss

Science Advances, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(45)

Published: Nov. 9, 2022

Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope and rigor, here we statistically synthesize empirical comparisons of recent driver impacts found through a wide-ranging review. We show that land/sea use change dominant worldwide. Direct exploitation natural resources ranks second pollution third; climate invasive alien species have significantly less than top two drivers. The oceans, where dominate, different hierarchy from land fresh water. It also varies among types indicators. For example, is more community composition changes populations. Stopping global requires actions tackle all major their interactions, not some them isolation.

Genomic signals of selection predict climate-driven population declines in a migratory bird

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 359(6371), P. 83 - 86

Published: Jan. 5, 2018

Yellow warblers already in decline As the climate changes, species' ability to adapt changing conditions may relate directly their future persistence. Determining whether and when this will happen is challenging, however, because it difficult tease apart causes of or maintenance. Bay et al. looked at relationship between genomic variation environment North American populations yellow warbler (see Perspective by Fitzpatrick Edelsparre). Genes linked exploratory migratory behavior were important for successful adaptation. Furthermore, identified as “genetically vulnerable” limited climate-associated declining.

Climate change vulnerability assessment of species

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective strategies conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the number of studies evaluating how, how much, why, when, and where species will be impacted by change. We provide an overview rapidly field assessment (CCVA) describe key concepts, terms, steps considerations. stress importance identifying full range pressures, impacts their associated mechanisms that face using this as basis selecting appropriate approaches quantifying vulnerability. outline four CCVA approaches, namely trait‐based, correlative, mechanistic combined discuss use. Since any can deliver unreliable or even misleading results when incorrect data parameters are applied, we finding, selecting, applying input examples open‐access resources. Because rare, small‐range, declining‐range often particular conservation concern while also posing significant challenges CCVA, alternative ways assess CCVAs used inform IUCN Red List assessments extinction risk.

Insects and recent climate change

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 118(2)

Published: Jan. 11, 2021

Insects have diversified through more than 450 million y of Earth’s changeable climate, yet rapidly shifting patterns temperature and precipitation now pose novel challenges as they combine with decades other anthropogenic stressors including the conversion degradation land. Here, we consider how insects are responding to recent climate change while summarizing literature on long-term monitoring insect populations in context climatic fluctuations. Results date suggest that impacts potential be considerable, even when compared changes land use. The importance is illustrated a case study from butterflies Northern California, where find population declines been severe high-elevation areas removed most immediate effects habitat loss. These results shed light complexity montane-adapted changing abiotic conditions. We also methodological issues would improve syntheses across datasets highlight directions for future empirical work.

Hydrologic refugia, plants, and climate change

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 23(8), P. 2941 - 2961

Published: March 20, 2017

Abstract Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic conditions in space over time, which are reflected spatial patterns of species distributions. As these distributions respond rapid climate change, microrefugia may support local persistence the face deteriorating climatic suitability. Recent focus on temperature as a determinant insufficiently accounts for importance processes changing water availability with climate. Where scarcity is major limitation now or under future climates, likely prove essential persistence, particularly sessile plants. Zones high relative – mesic microenvironments generated by wide array processes, be loosely coupled therefore buffered from change. Here, we review mechanisms that their robustness We argue will act species‐specific refugia only if nature space/time variability compatible ecological requirements target species. illustrate this argument case studies drawn California oak woodland ecosystems. posit identification could form cornerstone climate‐cognizant conservation strategies, but would require improved understanding change effects key including frequently cryptic such groundwater flow.
