Abstract Aim Land‐use change leads to local climatic changes, which can induce shifts in community composition. Indeed, human‐altered land uses favour species able tolerate greater temperature and precipitation extremes. However, environmental changes do not impact uniformly across their distributions, most research exploring the impacts of driven by use has considered potential within‐range variation. We explored whether a population's position (the difference between species' thermal tolerance limits conditions population experiences) influences relative abundance land‐use types. Location Global. Methods Using global dataset terrestrial vertebrate estimating realized limits, we analysed how within habitats that natural varied different positions (controlling for proximity geographic range edge). Results A strongly influenced (e.g. agriculture). Where extremes were closer abundances lower (relative habitat) compared areas further from these limits. These effects generally stronger at tropical temperate latitudes. In contrast, more complex often differed zones. Mapping outcome models revealed strong spatial variation severity decline populations following conversion habitat cropland or pasture, due position. Main conclusions highlight responses use, (at least partly), differences Accounting is critical when predicting vulnerability, producing successful conservation plans, biodiversity may be impacted future climate interactions.

Vulnerability to habitat fragmentation Habitat caused by human activities has consequences for the distribution and movement of organisms. Betts et al. present a global analysis how exposure affects composition ecological communities (see Perspective Hargreaves). In dataset consisting 4489 animal species, regions that historically experienced little disturbance tended harbor higher proportion species vulnerable fragmentation. Species in more frequently disturbed were resilient. High-latitude areas resilient which suggests extinction removed fragmentation-sensitive species. Thus, conservation efforts limit are particularly important tropics. Science , this issue p. 1236 ; see also 1196

Abstract In many regions of the world, forest management has reduced old and simplified structure composition. We hypothesized that such degradation resulted in long-term habitat loss for forest-associated bird species eastern Canada (130,017 km 2 ) which, turn, caused bird-population declines. Despite little change overall cover, we found substantial reductions as a result frequent clear-cutting broad-scale transformation to intensified forestry. Back-cast distribution models revealed breeding occurred 66% 54 most common from 1985 2020 was strongly associated with reduction age classes. Using long-term, independent dataset, amount predicted population size 94% species, declines old-forest species. Forest may therefore be primary cause biodiversity decline managed landscapes.

Abstract Ecosystem transformation can be defined as the emergence of a self-organizing, self-sustaining, ecological or social–ecological system that deviates from prior ecosystem structure and function. These transformations are occurring across globe; consequently, static view processes is likely no longer sufficient for managing fish, wildlife, other species. We present framework encompasses three strategies fish wildlife managers dealing with ecosystems vulnerable to transformation. Specifically, resist change strive maintain existing composition, structure, function; accept when it not feasible changes deemed socially acceptable; direct future configuration would yield desirable outcomes. Choice particular option hinges on anticipating change, while also acknowledging temporal spatial scales, recent history current state system, magnitude factor into decision. This suite management implemented using structured approach learning adapting change.

ABSTRACT The ecological co‐dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of mutualistic interaction: rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms, more than 7000 plant species for pollination. However, threats are mounting, with 10% 366 considered globally threatened 60% in decline. Despite the important implications these population declines, no recent review has examined plant–hummingbird interactions wider context evolution, ecology, conservation. To provide this overview, we ( i ) assess extent which have coevolved over millions years, ii examine mechanisms underlying interaction frequencies hummingbird specialization, iii explore factors driving decline populations, iv map out directions future research We find that, despite close associations hummingbirds, acquiring evidence coevolution versus one‐sided adaptation) difficult because data fitness outcomes both partners required. Thus, linking reproduction not only major avenue coevolutionary work, but also studies networks, rarely incorporate pollinator effectiveness. Nevertheless, past decade, growing body literature networks suggests that form relationships primarily based overlapping phenologies trait‐matching bill length flower length. On other hand, species‐level specialization appears depend local community context, such as abundance availability. Finally, although commonly viewed resilient opportunists thrive brushy habitats, range size forest dependency key predictors extinction risk. A critical direction how potential stressors – habitat loss fragmentation, climate change, introduction non‐native may interact affect they pollinate.

Environmental change is multidimensional, with local anthropogenic stressors and global climate interacting to differentially impact populations throughout a species' geographic range. Within species, the spatial distribution of phenotypic variation its causes (i.e., adaptation or plasticity) will determine adaptive capacity respond changing environment. However, comparatively less known about scale differentiation among how patterns might drive vulnerability stressors. To test whether fine-scale (2-12 km) mosaics environmental stress can cause in marine foundation eelgrass (Zostera marina), we conducted three-way reciprocal transplant experiment spanning length Tomales Bay, CA. Our results revealed strong home-site advantage growth survival for all three populations. In subsequent common garden experiments feeding assays, showed that countergradients temperature, light availability, grazing pressure from an introduced herbivore contribute differential performance consistent adaptation. findings highlight local-scale increase neighboring populations, potentially increasing species resilience future change. More specifically, identified range-center population pre-adapted extremely warm temperatures similar those experienced by low-latitude range-edge eelgrass, demonstrating reservoirs heat-tolerant phenotypes may already exist Future work on predicting should incorporate potential buffering effects promote management approach conservation.

Accurately predicting species' responses to anthropogenic climate change is hampered by limited knowledge of their spatiotemporal ecological and evolutionary dynamics. We combine landscape genomics, demographic reconstructions, species distribution models assess the eco-evolutionary past fluctuations future an Afro-Palaearctic migratory raptor, lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni). uncover two evolutionarily ecologically distinct lineages (European Asian), whose history, divergence, historical range were profoundly shaped climatic fluctuations. Using projections, we find that Asian lineage at higher risk contraction, increased migration distance, maladaptation, consequently greater extinction than European lineage. Our results emphasise importance providing context as a baseline for understanding contemporary change, illustrate how incorporating intraspecific genetic variation improves realism vulnerability assessments.
