The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis
Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have
investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the …

Local buffer mechanisms for population persistence
Assessing and predicting the persistence of populations is essential for the conservation
and control of species. Here, we argue that local mechanisms require a better conceptual …

Urban forest soils harbour distinct and more diverse communities of bacteria and fungi compared to less disturbed forest soils
Anthropogenic changes to land use drive concomitant changes in biodiversity, including that
of the soil microbiota. However, it is not clear how increasing intensity of human disturbance …

Increasing fire frequency and severity will increase habitat loss for a boreal forest indicator species
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal
forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late‐successional forest communities …

Towards complex applications of active remote sensing for ecology and conservation
Remote sensing (RS) and geospatial sciences already amount to a long history of fostering
research in topics related to ecology. Data and methods have mainly been subject to …

Multiple dimensions of extreme weather events and their impacts on biodiversity
Climate change is a multidimensional phenomenon. As such, no single metric can capture
all trajectories of change and associated impacts. While numerous metrics exist to measure …

Experience shapes wild boar spatial response to drive hunts
Human-induced disturbances of the environment are rapid and often unpredictable in space
and time, exposing wildlife to strong selection pressure favouring plasticity in specific traits …
