Industrial-scale mining in Africa to support global supply chains is leading to unprecedented deforestation across the continent, with 34 hectares of forest removed for every single hectare of active ...

Nature Climate Change - The authors develop an early warning system to predict the risks of extreme temperatures for 30,585 vertebrates 1–9 months in advance. They identify species and...

This study finds that native tree extinctions and alien naturalizations are pushing forests towards fast-growing, resource-demanding species. This global shift could affect carbon storage and ecosyste...

Beyond species ranges: How functional diversity and integrated life history can inform conservation priorities

Before scientists even knew how many Florida scrub millipedes were left in the wild, a quiet breakthrough happened in a University of South Florida lab. The rare, giant millipedes reproduced in captiv...

Species distribution models (SDMs) predict where species live or could potentially live and are a key resource for ecological research and conservation decision-making. However, current SDM methods o...

Analyzing plant dispersion data from across the globe, researchers at the University of Arizona found that the most abundant species have adapted to tolerate a wide range of climates. Their findings c...

A longstanding question in ecology asks whether or not species that achieve large geographic ranges also have large climatic niche breadths. Using ...

`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

GloNAF is a continuously updated, curated compilation of alien naturalized vascular plant inventories for geographic regions worldwide. Building on its predecessor, GloNAF 2.0 now contains 16,429 tax...

Measuring ecosystem gas fluxes is crucial to understanding the dynamics of ecosystem water and energy cycling. A common method to measure ecosystem gas fluxes (CO2, CH4, N2O) and to compare experi...

An ecosystem energetics approach, quantifying trophic energy flows across species, offers a unified framework for linking animal biodiversity loss to changes in ecosystem function and Earth system pro...

Temperature has strong impacts on all biological and ecological processes, and thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been employed recurrently to ...

La sucesión de años calurosos pueden llevar a muchos animales a incurrir en deudas ecológicas que no podrán pagar

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

As climate change accelerates, effectively monitoring and managing the growing impacts on biodiversity is an urgent priority. Here, we identify the...

Abstract. Developing a predictive science of the biosphere depends heavily on the rapidly expanding biodiversity data that are commonly stored in biodivers
