Freezing temperatures are inherently challenging for life, which is water based. How species
cope with these conditions fundamentally shapes ecological and evolutionary processes …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is increasing in extent and intensity across the globe. It has
been shown to interfere with animal sensory systems, orientation and distribution, with the …

Quantifying intraspecific and interspecific trait variability is critical to our understanding of
biogeography, ecology and conservation. But quantifying such variability and understanding …

Global loss of biodiversity has placed new urgency on the need to understand factors
regulating species response to rapid environmental change. While specialists are often less …

For migratory species, seasonal movements complicate local climate adaptation, as it is
unclear whether individuals track climate niches across the annual cycle. In the migratory …

Aim Species depend upon a constrained set of environmental conditions, or environmental
niches, for survival and reproduction that are being increasingly perturbed or lost under …

Tracking climatic conditions throughout the year is often assumed to be an adaptive
behaviour underlying seasonal migration patterns in animal populations. We investigate this …

Migratory birds inhabit different areas during breeding and non-breeding seasons.
Depending on the time of the year, they may utilize different resources available in seasonal …

In the context of global degradation and loss of natural wetlands, waterbirds have been
increasingly using artificial wetlands as alternative habitats. However, waterbirds are facing …

Freshwater ecosystems and the fauna they harbour are specifically sensitive to the changing
climate. While montane riverscapes across the globe are seeing an upsurge in climate …
