A leading strategy in international efforts to reverse ongoing losses in biodiversity is the use
of protected areas. We use a broad range of data and a review of the literature to show that …

Aim To review existing literature on the ability of waterbirds to spread aquatic alien and
invasive species, and to assess the relevance of bird‐mediated dispersal for the …

Climate change over the past∼ 30 years has produced numerous shifts in the distributions
and abundances of species, and has been implicated in one species-level extinction. Using …

The earth is now subject to climate change and habitat deterioration on unprecedented
scales. Monitoring climate change and habitat loss alone is insufficient if we are to …

Savannas are globally important ecosystems of great significance to human economies. In
these biomes, which are characterized by the co-dominance of trees and grasses, woody …

Species distribution modelling (SDM) associates georeferenced observations of a biotic
response variable–typically species occurrence or abundance–with multiple environmental …

Marine turtles occupy a wide range of terrestrial and marine habitats, and many aspects of
their life history have been demonstrated to be closely tied to climatic variables such as …

Biodiversity at multiple levels—genotypes within species, species within functional groups,
habitats within a landscape—enhances productivity, resource use, and stability of seagrass …

Long-distance migrations are among the wonders of the natural world, but this multi-taxon
review shows that the characteristics of species that undertake such movements appear to …

Aim We explore the impact of calibrating ecological niche models (ENMs) using (1) native
range (NR) data versus (2) entire range (ER) data (native and invasive) on projections of …
