Reduced enemy pressure did not explain range shifts
—
in EcologyStudy of nine alpine plant species finds that reduced leaf damage at warm range edges does not explain why some plants shift downhill during climate change.
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.
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.
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
