Effects of protected areas on global biodiversity
How effectively do protected areas contribute to maintaining global biodiversity?
Choosing the right climate data for species distribution models
When creating species distributions models, is data based on sort-term variability or long-term averages preferable?
Urban warming affects local plant assemblages
This study shows how urbanization can shape the structure of plant communities in European cities.
Assessing the effect of warming water on Mediterranean fisheries
Climate change is a global issue, but do increasing temperatures impact all areas equally?
Predicting global invaders and regions at risk of invasion
This study takes global view on invasive plant species, identifies potential invasion hotspots, and links invasion to human activity.
Exploring modes of Neotropical speciation
New species arise as geographic barriers divide and isolate populations, but sometimes speciation takes place within populations occupying the same geographic location.
Mapping the risk of tick-borne disease
This study presents an interaction network for ticks, hosts and the pathogens their carry
