Why are species' traits weak predictors of range shifts?
SR Beissinger, EA Riddell - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Artificial habitat structures for animal conservation: design and implementation, risks and opportunities
Habitat loss and degradation, and their interaction with other threats, are driving declines in
animal populations worldwide. One potential approach for mitigating these threats is to …

Functional connectivity of the world's protected areas
Global policies call for connecting protected areas (PAs) to conserve the flow of animals and
genes across changing landscapes, yet whether global PA networks currently support …

[HTML][HTML] Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape
Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to
understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trapping as …

Protected areas are now the last strongholds for many imperiled mammal species
The global network of terrestrial protected areas (PAs) has experienced a fourfold expansion
since the 1970s. Yet, there is increasing debate around the role of the global PA estate in …

Understanding the relationship between dispersal and range size
A Alzate, RE Onstein - Ecology Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology.
The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received …

[HTML][HTML] Land-use and climate risk assessment for Earth's remaining wilderness
Earth's wilderness areas are reservoirs of genetic information and carbon storage systems,
and are vital to reducing extinction risks. Retaining the conservation value of these areas is …

Renewable energy and biological conservation in a changing world
Without a shift to renewable energy sources, climate change will have adverse effects on
many terrestrial and aquatic species. On the other hand, replacing fossil fuels with …
