Diverse pollinator communities enhance plant reproductive success
Understanding the functional consequences of biodiversity loss is a major goal of ecology. Animal-mediated pollination is an essential ecosystem function and ...
Disturbance−diversity models: what do they really predict and how are they tested?
The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) and the dynamic equilibrium model (DEM) are influential theories in ecology. The IDH predicts large species ...
Anthropogenic environments exert variable selection on cranial capacity in mammals
It is thought that behaviourally flexible species will be able to cope with novel and rapidly changing environments associated with human activity. However, it ...
Competitive and demographic leverage points of community shifts under climate warming
Accelerating rates of climate change and a paucity of whole-community studies of climate impacts limit our ability to forecast shifts in ecosystem structure ...
Extreme contagion in global habitat clearance
Habitat clearance remains the major cause of biodiversity loss, with consequences for ecosystem services and for people. In response to this, many global ...
Adapting to flood risk under climate change
Flooding is the most common natural hazard and third most damaging globally after storms and earthquakes. Anthropogenic climate change is expected to increase ...
Effect of habitat area and isolation on fragmented animal populations
Habitat destruction has driven many once-contiguous animal populations into remnant patches of varying size and isolation. The underlying framework for the ...
Effects of Urbanization and Climate Change on Stream Health
Estimation of stream health involves the analysis of changes in aquatic species, riparian vegetation, microinvertebrates, and channel degradation due to ...
Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided?
Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. ... But today, for the first time, humanity’s global ...
Are There Rebound Effects from Energy Efficiency? – An Analysis of Empirical Data, Internal Consistency, and Solutions
Of the rigorously-framed hypotheses claiming that large negative rebounds exist, we measure them against the data, which refute the hypotheses. Rebounds at the ...
Climate Change Hot Spots Mapped Across the United States
Taking some of the fuzziness out of climate models is revealing the uneven U.S. impact of future global warming; the most severely affected region may be ...
Accounting for Environmental Assets
A country can cut down its forests, erode its soils, pollute its aquifers and hunt its wildlife and fisheries to extinction, but its measured income is not ...
Carbon Mitigation by Biofuels or by Saving and Restoring Forests?
The carbon sequestered by restoring forests is greater than the emissions avoided by the use of the liquid biofuels.
A holistic approach to climate targets
An assessment of allowable carbon emissions that factors in multiple climate targets finds smaller permissible emission budgets than those inferred from ...
Both population size and patch quality affect local extinctions and colonizations
Currently, the habitat of many species is fragmented, resulting in small local populations with individuals occasionally dispersing between the remaining ...
Extreme climatic event drives range contraction of a habitat-forming species
Species distributions have shifted in response to global warming in all major ecosystems on the Earth. Despite cogent evidence for these changes, the ...
Ecosystem Disturbance, Carbon, and Climate
Models of climate change effects should incorporate land-use changes and episodic disturbances such as fires and insect epidemics.
Approaching the Limits: A book review in Science
Excerpts: "In Harvesting the Biosphere, Vaclav Smil traces the historical development of human consumption of biological resources and evaluates whether we ...
A Measurable Planetary Boundary for the Biosphere
Terrestrial net primary (plant) production provides a measurable boundary for human consumption of Earth’s biological resources.
Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers
Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due ...
Early Warnings of Regime Shifts: A Whole-Ecosystem Experiment
Catastrophic ecological regime shifts may be announced in advance by statistical early warning signals such as slowing return rates from perturbation and ...
Education for a Sustainable Future
Sustainability is being integrated into higher-education institutions’ mission and planning, curricula, research, student life, and operations.
Biodiversity in a Warmer World
A new framework helps to understand how species ranges change under global warming.
Complexity of Coupled Human and Natural Systems
Integrated studies of coupled human and natural systems reveal new and complex patterns and processes not evident when studied by social or natural scientists ...
Biodiversity Under Global Change
Many common plant species, such as prairie grasses, have evolved traits for the efficient capture and use of two key resources that limit terrestrial ...
Amid Worrisome Signs of Warming, ‘Climate Fatigue’ Sets In
As scientists debate whether climate is changing faster than anticipated, some worry that a drumbeat of dire warnings may be helping to erode U.S. public ...
Biodiversity and Climate Change
Efforts to elucidate the effect of climate change on biodiversity with detailed data sets and refined models reach novel conclusions.
Drought Sensitivity of the Amazon Rainforest
Amazon forests are a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. If, as anticipated, they dry this century, they might accelerate climate ...
A-maize-ing Diversity
Analysis of a new maize resource reveals that a large number of genetic loci with small effects may underlie the wide variation seen in traits such as ...
Ecological Restoration in the Light of Ecological History
Ecological history plays many roles in ecological restoration, most notably as a tool to identify and characterize appropriate targets for restoration ...
