Coastal habitats shield people and property from sea-level rise and storms
|
Extreme weather, sea-level rise and degraded coastal ecosystems are placing people and property at greater risk of damage from coastal hazards 1–5. The likeli... |
Alleles underlying larval foraging behaviour influence adult dispersal in nature
|
The dispersal and migration of organisms have resulted in the colonisation of nearly every possible habitat and ultimately the extraordinary diversity of life. ... |
Area–heterogeneity tradeoff and the diversity of ecological communities
|
For more than 50 y ecologists have believed that spatial heterogeneity in habitat conditions promotes species richness by increasing opportunities for niche par... |
From Death Comes Life: Recovery and Revolution in the Wake of Epidemic Outbreaks of Mountain Pine Beetle
|
Excerpt : “Part of the initial increase in nutrients and moisture under dead and dying trees is due to reduced uptake,” Rhoades says. “But the sick and d... |
Groundwater depletion and sustainability of irrigation in the US High Plains and Central Valley
|
Aquifer overexploitation could significantly impact crop production in the United States because 60% of irrigation relies on groundwater. Groundwater depletion ... |
Response of snow-dependent hydrologic extremes to continued global warming
|
Snow accumulation is critical for water availability in the Northern Hemisphere 1,2, raising concern that global warming could have important impacts on natural... |
Livestock and the Environment: What Have We Learned in the Past Decade?
|
The livestock and environment nexus has been the subject of considerable research in the past decade. With a more prosperous and urbanized population projected ... |
Does global warming favour the occurrence of extreme floods in European Alps? First evidences from a NW Alps proglacial lake sediment record
|
Our record suggests climate warming is favouring the occurrence of high magnitude torrential flood events in high-altitude catchments. |
Asymmetric effects of economic growth and decline on CO2 emissions
|
Letter to Editor: Excerpt: "Why does economic decline not have an effect on CO2 emissions that is symmetrical with the effect of economic growth? There are vari... |
Impacts in the third dimension
|
Despite reports of no trends in snow- and rainfall, rivers in the northwest USA have run lower and lower in recent decades. A closer look at high- and low-altit... |
Predictive traits to the rescue
|
Climate change poses new challenges to the conservation of species, which at present requires data-hungry models to meaningfully anticipate future threats. Now ... |

1st paragraph: In 1974, Richard A. Easterlin, a coauthor of the work by Easterlin et al. (1) in PNAS, published a seminal article (2) that has generated a huge... |
Phylogenetic and functional diversity in large carnivore assemblages
|
Large terrestrial carnivores are important ecological components and promi- nent flagship species, but are often extinction prone owing to a combination of biol... |
Megaproject reclamation and climate change
|
Megaprojects such as oil sands mining require large-scale and long-term closure and reclamation plans. Yet these plans are created and approved without consider... |
The links between ecosystem multifunctionality and above- and belowground biodiversity are mediated by climate
|
Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of ... |
