This review summarizes the role of environmental factors on amphibian microbiotas at the
organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. At the organismal …

Mounting evidence suggests that climate change, agricultural intensification and disease
are impacting bumblebee health and contributing to species' declines. Identifying how these …

The rhizomes of Coptis chinensis Franch., Coptis deltoidea CY Cheng et Hsiao and Coptis
teeta Wall, are sources of renowned traditional Chinese medicines. Recently, human …

Random forest (RF) and MaxEnt models are shallow machine learning approaches that
perform well in predicting species' potential distributions. RF models can produce robust …

Climate change is expected to cause irreversible changes to biodiversity, but predicting
those risks remains uncertain. I synthesized 485 studies and more than 5 million projections …

Being the largest extant amphibian in the world, the IUCN Critically Endangered Chinese
giant salamander Andrias davidianus is a charismatic species with great international public …

Desertification is known to be a major threat to biodiversity, yet our understanding of the
consequent decline in biodiversity remains insufficient. Here, we predicted climate change …

Dryland biodiversity plays important roles in the fight against desertification and poverty, but
is highly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental change. However, little research has …

In China, as elsewhere, amphibians are highly endangered. Anthropogenic environmental
change has affected the distribution and population dynamics of species, and species …

Climate change is now considered as a serious threat to the viability of many species and
consequently as one of the major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Amphibians serve …
