BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate
change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …

High‐resolution monitoring is fundamental to understand ecosystems dynamics in an era of
global change and biodiversity declines. While real‐time and automated monitoring of …

A core challenge in global change biology is to predict how species will respond to future

Marine heatwaves cause widespread environmental, biological, and socio-economic
impacts, placing them at the forefront of 21st-century management challenges. However …

Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Light pollution is a global threat to biodiversity, especially migratory organisms, some of
which traverse hemispheric scales. Research on light pollution has grown significantly over …

Ecology has joined a world of big data. Two complementary frameworks define big data:
data that exceed the analytical capacities of individuals or disciplines or the “Four Vs” axes …
