This experimental and computational study asks how spatial structure and nutrient availability impact spread of resistant mutants and explores the impact of several treatment schedules to find a strat...

Generation-by-generation ancestry tracking in hybrid stickleback shows that hybrid incompatibilities drive rapid removal of introgressed alleles following a tsunami.

Species persistence following hybridization in nature requires the purging of introgressed alleles. Genomic monitoring of a tsunami-induced hybrid stickleback population in Japan reveals rapid genome-...

Sea-level rise may create a new front for the landward expansion of marine invaders into inundated areas. The authors explore the probability of this, projecting that more than two-thirds of inundated land areas would be suitable for 122 non-native animals already established in adjacent marine ecoregions under future sea-level-rise scenarios.

A study of daily activity of Drosophila species under naturalistic conditions shows that sociosexual interactions, via dopamine signalling, expand their temporal niche in a species-specific way accord...

Planting trees on non-forest land and re-establishing lost forest cover may have different ecological effects. Here the authors quantify long-term responses of soil carbon and microbial biomass follow...

Ecological communities are increasingly exposed to multiple anthropogenic drivers. Using a 13-year field experiment, the authors show that the effects of up to four interacting global change factors o...

A comparative multi-omic study finds that family-biased repertoires of short regulatory DNA motifs remain conserved over greater evolutionary distances than do the motif sets and co-occurring motif pa...

The relationship between the form and function of terrestrial carnivore dentition is inconsistent, despite repeated evolution of similar ecomorphologies. Here the authors compile a total-evidence phyl...

Applying deep-learning models to single-nucleus multi-omic sequencing data from flatworms and vertebrates, the authors propose that sets of sequence motifs defining cell type families are evolutionari...

Jumping spiders have taught Ximena Nelson that patience can be rewarding.

Synergies between climate change and natural enemy pressure threaten forests. Here the authors quantify the impact of climate change on North American forest insect and pathogen burden and map potenti...

Analysing Landsat satellite images between 2000 and 2023, the authors show that road expansion linked to logging and mining in the central-eastern Siberian intact forest landscape has intensified forest fragmentation and contributed to more than 39 megatonnes of aboveground biomass loss.

Tree diversity and mycorrhizal dominance are considered major drivers of multitrophic diversity and ecosystem functioning in forests. Here the authors disentangle the effects of these factors on above...

Land-use and climate change may have synergistic impacts on biodiversity. This global analysis shows that the sensitivity of bird species and populations to deforestation is modulated by their thermal...

Building a high-integrity biodiversity credit market requires recognition of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities as stewards of nature. Including culturally salient species as a metric in the mea...

Large areas of the tropics could naturally regenerate into forest, yet how the costs and benefits of realizing this potential vary spatially remain unknown. This study fills that gap, revealing that n...

Reverse listing for wildlife trade — a default ban for all species unless expressly proven sustainable — is increasingly proposed as a means of addressing unregulated trade. We evaluate the potential ...

Mycorrhizal strategy could be one of the factors that explain why certain non-native species become successful invaders. This study tests this idea at the global scale and explores geographic patterns...

Foraging species create locations of high concentration and mobilization of energy and nutrients as they move across landscapes. This Perspective discusses how these trophic hotspots are generated and...

Population genetics analysis of centromeres of cultivated and wild accessions of pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) reveals centromere diversity and organization, and shows that these chromosomal regions played a role in the selection for domesticated traits.

This study shows that the degradation of microbial storage polyhydroxyalkanoates is not just restricted to microorganisms by finding that some animals also have the enzymes required to break down thes...

Attributing alpine vegetation changes to climate change alone is intuitive but might neglect complexities such as microclimate and dispersal limitations. Here the authors show that thermophilization o...

Insects are increasingly pressured by climate change. Here the authors compile global evidence of range shifts in butterflies and call for more co-ordinated efforts in documenting such trends across c...
