Despite conservation concerns for many species of bats, factors causing mortality in bats
have not been reviewed since 1970. Here, we review and qualitatively describe trends in the …

Climate change is a threat to marine turtles that is expected to affect all of their life stages. To
guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic …

Global warming causes the poleward shift of the trailing edges of marine ectotherm species
distributions. In the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, continental masses and …

Climate change has exacerbated the occurrence of large‐scale sea surface temperature
anomalies, or marine heatwaves (MHWs)—extreme phenomena often associated with mass …

The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

With the occurrence of global change, research aimed at estimating the performance of
marine ectotherms in a warmer and acidified future has intensified. The concept of oxygen …

Extreme high environmental temperatures produce a variety of consequences for wildlife,
including mass die-offs. Heat waves are increasing in frequency, intensity, and extent, and …

Microbial breakdown of organic matter is one of the most important processes on Earth, yet
the controls of decomposition are poorly understood. Here we track 36 terrestrial human …

Decomposition contributes to global ecosystem function by contributing to nutrient recycling,
energy flow, and limiting biomass accumulation. The decomposer organisms influencing this …
