Urbanisation amplifies climate-driven butterfly declines in Europe
—
in EcologyUrban and rural butterfly populations respond differently to climate warming and aridification, with urbanisation amplifying negative climate impacts through reduced habitat connectivity.
Geospatial foundation models improved tree species mapping accuracy
—
Foundation models outperform conventional satellite methods for tree species classification in mountain forests, achieving high accuracy with minimal training data but requiring nonlinear classifiers.
Local human disturbances suppress potential coral climate refugia
Local human disturbances suppress coral reef climate refugia globally, but targeted intervention could restore protection against marine heatwaves.
Coastal food web changed over 125 years but kept stable trophic structure
—
in EcologyHistorical species composition data reveal how a coastal food web changed structurally over 125 years while maintaining stable trophic organization and energy transfer efficiency.
Hierarchical eco-zonation was strongest at coarse scales in Uganda
—
in EcologyMachine-learning framework using global datasets creates hierarchical eco-zone maps for data-scarce Afrotropical regions, demonstrating open-source approaches for ecological stratification and.
Mammal and bird ranges may shift uphill in the Altai Mountains
—
in EcologyClimate change threatens mammal and bird distributions in the Altai Mountains. MaxEnt modeling reveals habitat loss and range shifts toward higher elevations, with human activities and snow cover.
Climate change reshapes floodplain conservation planning
—
in EcologySpecies distribution and hydrological modelling framework for climate-adapted conservation planning of floodplain biodiversity across catchment and reach scales.
