Winter provides many challenges for insects, including direct injury to tissues and energy
drain due to low food availability. As a result, the geographic distribution of many species is …

Many of the world's rivers are ice‐covered during winter months but increasing evidence
indicates that the extent of river ice will shift substantially as winters warm. However, our …

Among its many impacts, climate warming is leading to increasing winter air temperatures,
decreasing ice cover extent, and changing winter precipitation patterns over the Laurentian …

Winter is a key driver of ecological processes in freshwater, marine and terrestrial
ecosystems, particularly in higher latitudes. Species have evolved various adaptive …

Globally, winter temperatures are rising, and snowpack is shrinking or disappearing entirely.
Despite previous research and published literature reviews, it remains unknown whether …

Winter conditions impose dramatic constraints on temperate, boreal, and polar ecosystems,
and shape the abiotic and biotic interactions underpinning these systems. At high latitudes …

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

Boreal lakes demonstrate pronounced seasonality, where the warm open-water season and
subsequent cold and ice-covered season dominate natural cycles. While fish muscle total …

Numerous studies have investigated the impacts of catch-and-release on the post-release
behaviour of fish during periods characterized by warm air and water temperatures …

Horizon scanning is increasingly used in conservation to systematically explore emerging
policy and management issues. We present the results of a horizon scan of issues likely to …
