Climate change is a threat to many species. Here the authors show that species’ range dynamics determine the ability of correlative and process-based models to predict extinction risk under climate ch...

Nature Ecology & Evolution - A global research coordination programme is urgently needed for biodiversity

We are excited to share a couple of updates to the journal’s editorial structure and board. These are meant to further strengthen what Ecography already does best while ensuring both continuity and re...

The spread of non-native species is likely to be compounded by further climate change and land-use intensification. Here the authors assess the potential distribution of 9,701 naturalized non-native p...

Calculations show that expansion patterns could move from subtropical regions into temperate zones, accompanied by substantial changes in species composition.

Safeguarding biodiversity requires a detailed understanding of the biosphere, especially regarding the distribution and state of habitats. Citizen science data offer a rich source of useful informati...

An analysis using European continent-wide empirical data shows that single mechanistic traits predict avian dispersal better than complex syndromes. Body mass and life history dominate median dispersa...

River ecosystems are experiencing increased heat, drought, and other extreme events, with a range of consequences for biodiversity; inspired by the Review...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 06 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00134-4Climate model intercomparison projects have been essential in identifying mechanisms of human-caused climate change, but similar efforts in biodiversity science have lagged behind. This Perspective discusses existing biodiversity model intercomparison projects and identifies opportunities for their advancement in the future.

Predicting the way forward for the Global Biodiversity Framework

SDMs can provide valuable support for planning the preventive management of alien species. However, our findings show that blacklist outcomes are highly sensitive to modelling decisions. While ensemb....

Sampling bias is an inherent problem in widely available biodiversity data, undermining the robustness of correlative species distribution models (SDMs). To some extent, subsampling occurrence data c....

We are excited to invite applications for a new PhD position on large mammals and land-use change in Europe. Join us at the Conservation and Biogeography Lab at Humboldt University Berlin!

Thirty three reflections I wish someone had shared with me early in my research career.

Global biodiversity targets focus on landscape and seascape connectivity as a foundational component of biodiversity conservation, including networks of connected protected areas. Recent advances allo...

Nicht Fridays for Future, sondern BND und Bundeswehr warnen nun vor den Folgen unterlassenen Klimaschutzes. Und führen damit die Realitätsverzerrung der aktuellen politischen Debatte vor.

Climate change is expected to cause irreversible changes to biodiversity, but predicting those risks remains uncertain. I synthesized 485 studies and more than 5 million projections to produce a quant...
