Global change drivers are known to interact in their effects on biodiversity, but much
research to date ignores this complexity. As a consequence, there are problems in the …

Many species are already responding to global climate change by shifting their ranges to
track suitable climatic conditions. However, habitat loss and fragmentation, coupled with the …

Executive Summary The IPCC Working Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report
addresses the challenges of climate action in the context of sustainable development with a …

Building regional ecological network can alleviate the notable contradiction between land
use and ecological development in the process of rapid urbanization. Suzhou is the center …

Expanding the global protected area network is critical for addressing biodiversity declines
and the climate crisis. However, how climate change will affect ecosystem representation …

Refugia have long been studied from paleontological and biogeographical perspectives to
understand how populations persisted during past periods of unfavorable climate. Recently …

Habitat loss fragments metacommunities, altering the movement of species between
previously connected habitat patches. The consequences of habitat loss for ecosystem …

It has been shown that the spatial configuration of a green area can strongly influence its
cooling effect. However, the specific correlation has not been sufficiently studied. To …

We summarize the foundational elements of a new area of research we call soundscape
ecology. The study of sound in landscapes is based on an understanding of how sound …

Networks with a modular structure are expected to have a lower risk of global failure.
However, this theoretical result has remained untested until now. We used an experimental …
