How the relative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on natural environment vary between different taxonomic groups, habitats, and geographic regions is increasingly well established. By contrast, times day at which those are most forcefully exerted or have greatest influence not understood. The impact nighttime bears particular scrutiny, given that for practical reasons (e.g., researchers themselves belong to a diurnal species), studies conducted during daytime organisms predominantly active in ways do differentiate nighttime. In present article, we synthesize current state knowledge environment, highlighting key findings examples. evidence available suggests under intense stress across increasing areas world, especially from pollution, climate change, overexploitation resources.

Abstract 1. Individual niche specialization is widespread in natural populations and has key implications for higher levels of biological organization. This phenomenon, however, been primarily quantified resource axes, overlooking individual variation environmental associations (i.e. abiotic conditions organisms experience). 2. Here, we explore what can learn from a multidimensional perspective that integrates use into common framework. 3. By combining predictions theory simple simulations, illustrate how (i) intraspecific (ii) the spatiotemporal context interactions between conspecifics scale up to shape emergent patterns population niche. 4. Contemplating as multidimensional, unifying concept across biotic axes fundamental step towards bringing this closer n ‐dimensional envisioned by Hutchinson.

A big number of Red Sea species have entered the Mediterranean since opening Suez Canal. Some them quickly establish local populations and increase their abundance, forming a potential threat for biodiversity fisheries. Here, we use habitat modeling tools to study expansion three alien, demersal fish that basin at different times: Pterois miles, Siganus luridus rivulatus. Georeferenced occurrence data from eastern over past ten years were compiled using online sources, published scientific literature questionnaires correlated with environmental topographic variables. The maximum entropy approach was applied construct suitability maps target all Greek Seas. Results emphasized species’ strong coastal nature association presence Posidonia oceanica meadows. Probability evidenced there is higher likelihood along southeast central Aegean Ionian coasts lower throughout North Sea. For spp., predictions in Thracian highlighted as highly uncertain, conditions this area partly fall outside range values occurring locations current presence.
