Abstract Ice-free areas occupy< 0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the
continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by …

Global changes in soil surface temperatures are altering the abundances and distribution
ranges of invertebrate species worldwide, including effects on soil microarthropods such as …

Satellite-derived land surface temperatures (LSTs) are a critical parameter in various fields.
Unfortunately, there are numerous gaps in LST products due to cloud contamination and …

An accurate spatially continuous air temperature data set is crucial for multiple applications
in the environmental and ecological sciences. Existing spatial interpolation methods have …

Polar and alpine regions are changing rapidly with global climate change. Yet, the impacts
on biodiversity, especially on the invertebrate ectotherms which are dominant in these …

Land surface temperature (Ts) and near-surface air temperature (Ta) are key parameters in
multiple research fields. In this study, a global seamless (without missing values) and high …

Terrestrial species on islands often show reduced dispersal abilities. For insects, the
generality of explanations for island flight loss remains contentious. Although habitat stability …

The majority of islands surrounding the Antarctic continent are poorly characterized in terms
of microbial macroecology due to their remote locations, geographical isolation and access …

Thermal performance traits are regularly used to make forecasts of the responses of
ectotherms to anthropogenic environmental change, but such forecasts do not always …

The detection of coastal vulnerability to erosion is crucial for decision-making regarding the
economy, ecology, health, security, among other issues. Most of the studies gather a large …
