Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Forests provide innumerable ecological, societal and climatological benefits, yet they are
vulnerable to drought and temperature extremes. Climate-driven forest die-off from drought …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

Climate change threatens coral reefs by causing heat stress events that lead to widespread
coral bleaching and mortality. Given the global nature of these mass coral mortality events …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although
relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each …

Exotic species affect the biogeochemical pools and fluxes of materials and energy, thereby
altering the fundamental structure and function of their ecosystems. Rapidly accumulating …

Assisted gene flow (AGF) between populations has the potential to mitigate maladaptation
due to climate change. However, AGF may cause outbreeding depression (especially if …

Microbial taxa within complex ecological networks can be classified by their universal roles
based on their level of connectivity with other taxa. Highly connected taxa within an …
