The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …

Understanding how species respond to climate change is key to informing vulnerability
assessments and designing effective conservation strategies, yet research efforts on wildlife …

Half of all plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal interactions
lost through defaunation and gained during novel community assembly influence whether …

Seed dispersal is key to the persistence and spread of plant populations. Because the
majority of plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds, global change drivers that …

We review progress in our understanding of the importance of waterbirds as dispersal
vectors of other organisms, and identify priorities for further research. Waterbirds are …

Seed dispersal by frugivores is a fundamental function for plant community dynamics in
fragmented landscapes, where forest remnants are typically embedded in a matrix of …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of
ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to …

The audiovisual experience of observing birds in cities provides numerous benefits to
residents, but their diversity is endangered by urbanization. Although the magnitude of the …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …

Climate change has altered the timing of recurring biological cycles in both plants and
animals. Phenological changes may be unequal within and among trophic levels, potentially …
